Installing the Oracle: Database PowerPack
Before completing the steps in this
If you have the SLPS: Oracle DB PowerPack or the Oracle DB PowerPack installed, you must remove them from your SL1 system.
You must also remove any pre-existing discovered "Oracle: Database" PowerPack device trees and all Oracle device classes before installing this PowerPack. If you are using an SL1 version that is not at least 12.2.0, you must delete the "Oracle: Database" PowerPack example PowerShell credentials.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the PowerPack, see the Release Notes for the version you are installing for upgrade instructions.
By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack overwrites all content from a previous version of that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. You can use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior) to prevent new PowerPacks from overwriting local changes for some commonly customized fields. For more information, see the section on Global Settings.
To download and install the PowerPack:
- Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page (Product Downloads > PowerPacks & SyncPacks) at the ScienceLogic Support Site.
- In SL1, go to the PowerPacks page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
- Click the button and choose Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack dialog box appears.
- Click [Browse] and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.
- Select the PowerPack file and click . The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
- Click . The PowerPack is added to the PowerPacks page.
If you exit the PowerPack Installer modal without installing the imported PowerPack, the imported PowerPack will not appear in the PowerPacks page. However, the imported PowerPack will appear in the Imported PowerPacks modal. This page appears when you click the menu and select Install PowerPack.
