Supported databases
Check that Scops supports your Oracle release and edition, and add RAC, container and standby databases the correct way.
Check the release and edition
| Item | What Scops supports |
|---|---|
| Release | Oracle Database 12.2 or later, also 19c, 21c and 26ai. The repository too. |
| Enterprise Edition | All features. Pack features stay off until you turn on Diagnostics and Tuning Pack and confirm the license. |
| Standard Edition 2 | All monitoring, alerts, reports, Scops AI and Statistics. Keep Diagnostics and Tuning Pack off. Archiving does not compress archive tables, and Compression cannot move tables online. |
Scops cannot check your Oracle licenses. See License.
Add a RAC database
Add the database one time, with its SCAN name as the Host and a service that runs on all nodes. The Dashboard can show activity by Instance.
Add container and pluggable databases
Add each pluggable database with its own service name.
To see the whole container, also add the container database with the service of its root.
Each registration counts as one database for your edition. The pluggable databases show under their container, and the Dashboard of a root shows activity by PDB.
Add a standby database
Add a physical standby as a separate database, with its own service. Scops monitors it only while it is open read-only, not while it is mounted.
A backup on a physical standby counts for its primary. On the primary, HealthCheck shows how far each standby is behind.
Exadata
The Exadata tab shows only on an Exadata database. Scops reads the storage cells through the database, so it needs no login to the cells. Archiving can use Hybrid Columnar Compression only on Exadata or Oracle ZFS storage.
