Requirements for Monitoring Oracle Databases

Applies to LoadComplete 4.97, last modified on May 20, 2019

To monitor the performance of an Oracle database, the following requirements must be met:

  • Oracle 11g or 12c must be installed on your tested web server.

  • Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) for Oracle Client must be installed on your current computer (the one, from which you will monitor the performance).

    The installed version of Oracle Data Access Components must be appropriate for —

    • The version of the Windows operating system running on your current computer (32-bit or 64-bit).

    • The version of Oracle installed on your tested web server.

    You can get the needed version of Oracle Data Access Components from the Oracle web site:

    32-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) for Windows

    64-bit Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) for Windows

  • You must have a database user account with access to the V$METRIC table in your Oracle database. You will use this account to access the performance data of your database during test runs.

    If you do not have an account with the appropriate access permission, you can create one. To learn how to do this, see the Oracle documentation.
