TheSDM allows users to perform the following operations: Monitor Database Space Utilization View and Manage Database Partitions Configure Auto-Archives Configure Auto-Addition of PartitionsMonitor Database Space Utilization, View and Manage Database Partitions and Configure Auto-Archives operations can be accessed using the Sentinel Data Manager GUI or using a command lineinterface to SDM.NOTE: Event Mapping, Summary Data and Reporting data are SDM functionalities which aremoved from SDM to Sentinel Control Center in Sentinel 6.x.12.2 Starting the SDM GUIThere are several prerequisites to run the SDM GUI on a machine: If using an Oracle database, the Oracle JDBC driver must be downloaded and placed in the$ESEC_HOME/lib (UNIX) or %ESEC_HOME%\lib (Windows) directory. As of the print dateof this document, this file could be found at the following URL: http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html (http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html).This file, typically called ojdbc14.jar, will be installed by default on the machine that hoststhe Sentinel DAS component.NOTE: Sentinel 6.x does not support Oracle 9i OCI-based connections. The user must know the following information: Name and password for the Sentinel Database User (esecdba by default) Database host server Database (instance) name Port used for database communications (1521 by default for Oracle and 1433 by defaultfor SQL Server)To start SDM GUI on UNIX:1 Login to the UNIX box as a member of the esec group (for example: esecadm).
