System Requirements

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• The Oracle Database is installed and configured.

• The Enterprise Security Administrator (ESA) is installed, configured, and running.

• The IP address or host name of the ESA is noted.

• Ensure that Policy Management (PIM) has been initialized on the ESA. The initialization of PIM ensures that cryptographic keys for protecting data and the policy repository have been created.

• Download and save the Oracle Database Protector, DatabaseProtector_<operating_system>-<arch>_<Oracle_version>-64_<version>.tgz, made available by Protegrity.

• Even if it is not mandatory, create a backup of the database where the Oracle Database Protector and the UDFs will be installed.

• Access to the server, as the oracle instance owner or the user created specifically for Protegrity, is available.

• Access to the Oracle database as the sysdba superuser, should be available.
