Upgrading the Target Database

If you’re upgrading the target database, perform the following tasks to ensure that Oracle Database Security Central (Oracle DBSecCentral) continues to function properly.

• If the Database Firewall is deployed in Monitoring/Blocking (Proxy) mode, then stop the monitoring point of the target.

  See Starting, Stopping, or Deleting Database Firewall Monitoring Points.

• Ensure that there are no changes to the database listener ports.

  If the database listener ports have changed, then make the corresponding change to the monitoring point and restart the network trail.

• If the target database details like the IP address and host name haven’t changed, then after the target database upgrade is complete, enable the monitoring point. The traffic should flow through the monitoring point as before.

  See Starting, Stopping, or Deleting Database Firewall Monitoring Points.

• Run the script on the target database to grant privileges after the database upgrade is complete.

  See Scripts for Oracle DBSecCentral Account Privileges on Targets.
