Setting up an Oracle database

This section describes how to configure Netcool/Precision TN to use an Oracle database for storing data from the Netcool/Precision TN server.

Netcool/Precision TN works with either Standard or Enterprise editions of Oracle 9i. The version that you select depends upon your own requirements.

If you need a high availability database, we recommend you select the Enterprise edition. Oracle Enterprise edition can also support a greater number of simultaneous connections via the use of its multi-threaded server and the Oracle Connection Manager. Simultaneous connections are of concern only if the product database will be shared with other applications or configured for use in a large, federated system.
