The Oracle* channel allows the logging server to log events to an Oracle database. The logging server can use the Oracle channel to create the central data store or a filtered database.
The Oracle channel driver is used only on platforms where Oracle can run natively, such as Windows*, Linux*, and Solaris*. If you are running the Secure Logging Server on NetWare®, create a JDBC* channel to connect to the Oracle server.
NOTE: On Linux and Solaris systems, the 32-bit version of the Oracle client is required. The 64-bit version will not work because Novell® Audit is compiled as a 32-bit application.
For the Oracle channel to function properly, you must install the Oracle client libraries on the same server as the Secure Logging Server.
The Oracle channel driver, lgdora, creates the table for the Oracle data store automatically. In most circumstances, you do not need to create the data store table.
If a situation arises requiring you to create this table manually, you can create the data store using the following table structure:
NOTE: The table name is defined in the Oracle Channel object configuration page. The default table name is NAUDITLOG.
