Oracle DBSAT Compliance Standard Prerequisites

The following are a list of prerequisites required for Oracle DBSAT to be deployed as a Compliance Standard.

  • Currently Oracle DBSAT Compliance Standard is available only for Oracle Red Hat Linux 7 and above.
  • The DBSAT Standard must be associated to the database target which is being monitored by EM agent running on the same host OS.
  • Oracle DBSAT Compliance Standard requires a minimum version of Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c Release 5 Update 5 (13.5.0.5) for single instance and CDBs. Oracle Enterprise Manager 13c Release 5 update 22 (13.5.0.22) is required for PDBs and RAC databases.
  • Oracle Enterprise Manager 13 Release 5 Update 11 (13.5.0.11) is required to use the Sensitive Data Assessment Report.
  • Oracle DBSAT Compliance Standard requires PERL installed on the database target being monitored by the EM agent.
    1. Verify PERL is installed:
      perl -v

      If PERL is already installed in the database target being monitored by EM, there is no further action to be taken.
    2. To install the PERL modules use the following commands:
      sudo yum -y install perl-DBI
      sudo yum install -y perl-XML-XPath
      If the installation is correct, the following messages will be displayed:
