The Oracle SDE List Tables monitoring point is designed to work together with the Oracle SDE Usage check to generate the information required for SDE Usage reporting for data in an Oracle RDBMS. It is recommended that these two checks be placed together in a GeoMonitor Server because of the fact that both are needed to generate the data required to support SDE Usage reporting. The Oracle SDE List Tables check runs once a week based on a time stamp stored in the GeoMonitor database. The check creates a list of all of the SDE (version 10.0 and greater) geodabase feature datasets, feature classes and tables in an Oracle SDE instance. This list is used to identify geodatabase feature datasets, feature classes and that are unused for SDE Usage reporting. The Oracle SDE Usage check is generally run hourly and records what feature datasets, feature classes and tables are open. A more detailed description of the Oracle SDE Usage check is provided in a later section. Note: If you are using Microsoft SQL Server / SQL Server Express, follow the instructions in Setting Up Microsoft SQL Server for SDE Usage Database. If you are not sure where your Usage information is being stored, you can consult the “About” dialog on the GeoSystems Monitor Charts UI. This check needs an Oracle (32Bit) client that customer provides which is installed locally and configured to perform this check. Make sure that the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set and that the system PATH is set to the folder where the Oracle (32Bit) client is located. Note: If you are using Microsoft SQL Server / SQL Server Express, follow the instructions in Setting Up Microsoft SQL Server for SDE Usage Database The parameters that are unique to the Oracle SDE List Tables include: |

userPW |
Oracle user PW for access to the Oracle Table Note: userPW should be entered as encrypted information |
