Working with Oracle Homes

BMC Database Automation (BDA) supports the discovery and approval of existing Oracle Homes that do not have databases running out of them. To set up BDA to discover Oracle Homes, see Enabling-discovery-of-Oracle-Homes. After approval, the Oracle Homes appear under Pending Approval > Applications as a Generic Applications icon.

Actions and Oracle Homes

Oracle Homes without databases are represented in BDA as generic applications. Actions can be run on Oracle Homes by using the Applications Scope. See Running-an-Action.

Inline patching and Oracle Homes

BMC Database Automation allows you to apply a database patch during the database provisioning activity. This process is called inline patching. 

Inline patching is supported for both single instance home as well as grid infrastructure home. See Applying-patches-inline-during-provisioning for details.

Warning

Note

To create an Oracle Home as part of the database provisioning operation, see Creating-a-single-instance-Oracle-database-on-Linux-and-UNIX or Adding-a-database-to-an-Oracle-cluster.
