question on Oracle Discovery and Rules vs FlexNet Agent

Hello,

Does the FlexNet agent 2018 R2 capture all the information that can be captured using the Discovery and Inventory Rules for Oracle?

We want to be sure all the databases and the LMS Evidence report are showing up. Our initial tests are showing yes, but was wondering if someone could confirm for us.

Looking for advice if the rule is still needed or if the agent does all the heavy lifting now.

If the agent doesn't capture everything, if you could explain why the rule is still needed and what is captured that would be terrific.

Thanks for the help!

Jason - Yes the agent itself captures the same Oracle Database LMS inventory as when you go through the Discovery and Inventory Rules. 

 

It is much simpler in fact than configuring all of the rules, defining targets, having to install the ODAC driver on the beacon, creating Oracle DB User accounts, etc.

Hi Jason,

If you are not completely sure if the agent is regularly deployed to all new machines, an idependent discovery task might still be useful to identify gaps.
