Configuring the Oracle data collector

The Control Compliance Suite can use Symantec RMS to retrieve data from your enterprise network. RMS passes the collected data to the Data Processing Service (DPS) Collector. The collector then returns the collected data to the Control Compliance Suite infrastructure for further processing. RMS uses the bv-Control for Oracle snap-in module to collect data from the Oracle databases.

The Control Compliance Suite uses the Oracle data collector to collect data from the RMS. Before you use the Oracle data collector on the DPS computer, you must configure this data collector. The Oracle data collector must be associated with an Information Server.

To configure the Oracle data collector, you open the Component Settings dialog box for the Data Processing Service computer. You can also reconfigure or make modifications to the Oracle data collector through this dialog box.
