  • Use the Precise Framework Installer to install framework components
  • If you intend to install SAP Interpoints:
    • Install the SAP GUI on the server that the Oracle Tier Collector is installed on.
      If you intend to install an SAP Interpoint on a 64-bit Windows server, you need to install the SAP GUI for 64-bit Windows.
    • Verify that the RFC functions STUM_WP_SERVER_ACTIVITY and TH_SERVER_LIST are enabled in your application.
    • Configure an additional working process (dialog type) for the use of the SAP Interpoint.
      For more information on the RFC usage, see the technical note: How Precise Interpoint for SAP Impacts SAP Application Server Load and Performance.
    • Create an SAP user account that the SAP extension will use to access the system. If you install Precise for SAP, you can use the same user as is used by Precise for SAP.For more details on the required authorizations, see Pre-installation tasks on page 26.
    • Verify that a JDBC connection from the Oracle FocalPoint to the monitored instance server is enabled.
      This means that the DBA needs to configure the Oracle Listener port, otherwise only local connections will be enabled.

  5. Click the drop-down menu and select the Oracle Listener port.
  6. Enter the user name.

    Info

    The name of the Oracle user that has DBA privileges. This user is used for the initial connection with the Oracle database and to create a user named "precise" in the database. The DBA user is used only for the above tasks during the installation. Once it finishes its tasks, it is not used any more.

    Info

    This is the password for the Oracle DBA user, encrypted using the Precise CLI utility. The DBA password is not saved by Precise.

  8. Click the drop-down menu and select the method of connection.
    • The Oracle Tier installation requires creating objects (views and packages) in the SYS schema and therefore, a privileged access to the SYS schema is required. Use the "Connect As" option to allow connecting to your Oracle instance with a user that has SYSDBA privileges.
    • If you did not use the manual schema installation, it is required that you connect with a DBA user as 'SYSDBA'.
      For more information on using the manual schema, see Manually installing Precise for Oracle database schemas on page 107.
    • To connect as 'SYSDBA', you should enter the Oracle initialization parameter remote_login_passwordfile as a password file, meaning that this parameter must be set to share or exclusive, and grant SYSDBA privileges to the DBA user for the Oracle Tier installation.
