Oracle Requirements

Control-M, Control-M/EM, Control-M/Server and Control-M Workload Archiving can be installed on UNIX with an Oracle database. A customer-supplied existing Oracle full enterprise/standard edition database server must be present.

An Oracle instant client is supplied in the background when you install one of the Control-M products.

The following topics list the Oracle requirements needed to install Control-M, Control-M/EM, Control-M/Server, and Control-M Workload Archiving on UNIX:

Configuring Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server with Oracle Native Encryption

This procedure describes how to configure Control-M/EM and Control-M/Server with Oracle Native Encryption to connect to an Oracle server.

Begin

  1. Open a request to the site DBA to add the following lines to the sqlnet.ora file.

    • SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_SERVER= REQUIRED

    • SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_SERVER= (AES256)

    • SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_SERVER= REQUIRED

    • SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_SERVER= SHA256

  2. Navigate to one or more of the following:

    • Control-M/Server: $HOME/ctm_server /oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora

    • Control-M/EM: $HOME/em_server/oracle/network/admin/sqlnet.ora

  3. Add the following lines:

    • SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT = REQUIRED

    • SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_TYPES_CLIENT = AES256

    • SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_CLIENT = REQUIRED

    • SQLNET.CRYPTO_CHECKSUM_TYPES_CLIENT = SHA256

  4. Navigate to one or more of the following:

    • Control-M/Server: $HOME/ctm_server/oracle/network/admin/ojdbc.properties

    • Control-M/EM: $HOME/em_server/oracle/network/admin/ojdbc.properties

  5. Add the following lines:

    • oracle.net.encryption_client=REQUIRED

    • oracle.net.encryption_types_client=AES256

    • oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client=REQUIRED

    • oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client=SHA256
