Pre-installation and Planning Considerations
Oracle recommends the following when planning your OMC setup, Oracle IT Analytics in particular:
- Oracle IT Analytics App Server Performance Analytics Application and Oracle WebLogic Server Management Pack:
To take advantage of the WebLogic metrics collected by Oracle Enterprise Manager with the Oracle WebLogic Server Management Pack, plan to install a Data Collector. The Data Collector harvests data from the Oracle Enterprise Manager repository. If you do not have Oracle Enterprise Manager and the Oracle WebLogic Server Management Pack, you can deploy an OMC cloud agent with your WebLogic Server and benefit from the Oracle IT Analytics App Server Performance Analytics application capabilities.
- Oracle IT Analytics Database Applications and Oracle Database Diagnostics Pack:
Leverage the full capabilities of the Oracle IT Analytics database applications with the Oracle Diagnostic Pack by installing a Data Collector.
The Oracle Diagnostic Pack provides automatic performance diagnostic and advanced system monitoring functionality. By configuring Oracle Management Cloud to collect data from the Oracle Diagnostics Pack, Oracle IT Analytics database applications can display and analyze historic AWR data.
- Oracle IT Analytics Data Collectors for ITA Exadata Systems
Exadata Analytics presents a fully unified view of your inventory, capacity and performance data for all Exadata systems, on-premise Exadata Database Machine as well as Exadata CS and Exadata CC. Exadata Analytics gives you a clear insight into Exadata storage systems, allowing you to do in-depth resource analysis, capacity planning and forecasting for all your Exadata systems.
To leverage the capabilities of Oracle IT Analytics Exadata Analytics for all on-premise and cloud Exadata systems you will need to have data collectors deployed. For more information see: Perform ITA Specific Configuration Tasks.

*Additional metrics related to AWR is available in Data Explorer only with the Oracle Diagnostics Pack when database entities are enabled for Oracle Management Cloud Enterprise Edition (which includes Oracle IT Analytics).
The SQL Analytics application requires the Oracle Diagnostics Pack for all its data.
Oracle IT Analytics database applications do not require the Oracle Database Tuning Pack.
Note that, before you set up Oracle Management Cloud, to enable the Oracle Diagnostics Pack, you must purchase the necessary licenses on the target databases and set the initialization parameter CONTROL_MANAGEMENT_PACK_ACCESS to the desired value. See Oracle Management Packs and Their Permitted Features in Oracle Database Licensing Information for information on Oracle Diagnostics Pack.
