How to Setup an Oracle E-Business Suite Scan Job
This lesson will explain how to set up a scan job to scan an available Oracle E-Business Suite applications configured in your environment.
Asset Vision® uses an agentless method of scanning. Agentless scanning has the profound benefit of being non-disruptive to the configuration of your target systems. The method we use to perform discovery is based on the creation of scanning jobs that run according to a particular schedule. The scan jobs implement the various discovery techniques built into Asset Vision®.
1. Create a New Oracle E-Business Suite Scan Job
Navigate to: Setup > Discovery > Scan Jobs > Manage. This data view displays all of the currently existing scan jobs.
- Click New at bottom of page to launch the Scan Job Setup Wizard.
- In the Selection dialog, select the Applications and Licenses job category.
- In the job type: drop-down, select Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) Applications.
- Click OK.
2. Configure the Oracle E-Business Suite Settings
In the Oracle E-Business Suite Settings section, enter the following:
- Target Host: - This will be the IP Address of the Oracle server hosting the E-Business Suite and related applications.
- Schema name: - The Oracle schema under which the E-Business Suite was installed.
- Inactive days: - Excludes user data for users inactive for the specified number of days.
- Language: - Language for any localized text returned from E-Business.
In the Advanced Oracle E-Business Suite Settings section, enter the following:
- Collect Unused: - Includes application data for all applications, used or not used. Use caution, as this setting can cause large amounts of data to be transferred to the database.
- Exclude Unlicensed: - Excludes application data for all unlicensed applications.
- Ports: - Ports where Oracle is listening for connections.
- SIDs: - List of Oracle SIDs (optional).
3. Configure the Schedule for the Job
- Select the desired Scan Window, or leave as Default if you would like for the scans to run at any time. For more information see Setting up a Scan Window.
- Pick the desired Schedule Type for the scan job.
- Check Enabled if you want to enable the scan job to run as scheduled once you save and finish the wizard.
- Select the Time Zone and Time. Note that the time zone will be saved in GMT/UTC time.
- Configure remaining options (Day of week:, Run on:, Repeat every:, etc.)
- Click Next.
4. Review and Implement
- Give the Scan Job a meaningful name.
- Select a PAD Server. Scan jobs run on a particular PAD, so you need to assign this to a particular PAD. The type of scan has a bearing on which PAD Asset Vision loads the job onto. For example, there would be no point setting up a Windows scan on a PAD that has no Windows machines that it can access.
- Save and Run the scan immediately or Save and Finish configuring the scan job and let it run at the scheduled time.
