The Oracle Database scan module captures Oracle databases. It requires a connected gateway.

Captured data

The scan creates assets of the type Oracle. The detail page groups the data as follows: How the detail page of the type is structured is described in Databases.

Setting up the job

The wizard follows the standard path Basics › Targets › Schedule › Summary—see Creating a Scan Job. The Targets step is what sets this module apart. Each row carries five columns: Hostname, service name and port are in the configuration of the database. The listener’s configuration determines which port applies. The Credentials column must be filled. An entry in Credentials for all targets applies to every row without an assignment of its own.

Prerequisites

Ports and protocols

Permissions

  • The account is a suitably privileged user (DBA) or has at least these rights:
    • CREATE SESSION
    • SELECT ANY DICTIONARY

Network requirements

  • The firewall allows the port.
After it is created, the job appears among the jobs; how you watch and adjust it is in Managing Jobs. The ports of all scan modules are in the Scan Reference.
