Oracle

Oracle licensing is complex, with intricate rules and dependencies. To determine if you are correctly licensed, you need to know which Oracle products are installed and used in your IT environment. In addition, you need to know the hardware configuration of the servers running Oracle, as well as have full control over all Oracle agreements and orders.

The Oracle section in SAM Core provides visibility of your Oracle Databases, Oracle WebLogic Server, and Oracle Java products, as well as license requirements, license assignments, and compliancy position for the Oracle Databases plus their Options and Management packs, and for Oracle WebLogic Server.

While the information from the inventoried Oracle environments, gathered by the Oracle scanners, is supplied automatically to SAM Core, all Oracle agreements must be registered manually. Oracle orders (entitlements) can be added either manually one by one or through a bulk order file import. You must also associate the Oracle orders with the Oracle servers, which you can do either manually or by using the Oracle auto-assignment functionality in SAM Core.

SAM Core supports the compliance analysis process with dedicated reports and recommendations for Oracle servers not covered by a license. You can also generate and export reports in the format required when submitting a declaration to Oracle, for example, the Oracle Product Compliance report.
