You can install Oracle in the following ways:
- Oracle Enterprise Edition
- The advantage of choosing Oracle Enterprise Edition is that you can implement the Oracle Partitioning feature to improve the performance of event-driven workload automation. This improves rule management performance, in particular the following queries: event_rule_instance, action_run, and operator_messages. For information about event-driven workload automation, see Overview.
- Oracle Standard Edition
- Oracle Standard Edition does not include the Oracle Partitioning feature. Installing this edition does not improve the performance of event-driven workload automation.
For supported versions, see the HCL Workload Automation System Requirements Document at HCL Workload Automation Detailed System Requirements.
