1. Database type: Ensure that the correct Oracle Database cloud solution is selected.
2. Depending on the option selected in the previous step, one of the following options is displayed:
   • Database system (for Base Database Service): Select the DB system in the Base Database Service. By default, the compartment selected on the Managed databases page is displayed, however, you can click Change compartment and select another compartment, if required.
   • VM cluster (for ExaDB-D and ExaDB-C@C): Select the cloud VM cluster that provides a link between the ExaDB-D or ExaDB-C@C resource and the database. By default, the compartment selected on the Managed databases page is displayed, however, you can click Change compartment and select another compartment, if required.
3. Database home: Select the database home associated with the Oracle Cloud Database.
4. Pluggable database: Select this check box if you're enabling Database Management for a PDB.
   Note
   
   

   • For Oracle Cloud Databases, Database Management only supports the monitoring and management of PDBs for Oracle Database version 19c and later.
   • If you're enabling Database Management for a PDB, then it must first be enabled on the associated CDB with the Full management option.
   • You can enable Database Management for a maximum of 10 PDBs in one CDB. If you want to increase the PDB limit, contact Oracle Support.
5. Database name: Select the Oracle Cloud Database. If you're enabling Database Management for a PDB, then you must select the associated CDB in this field.
6. Pluggable database name: Select the PDB. This field is only displayed if you're enabling Database Management for a PDB.
7. Service name: The unique service name in the Database_Name.Host_Domain_Name format is automatically displayed, however, you can edit it, if required.
8. Protocol: Select either the TCP or TCPS protocol to connect to the Oracle Cloud Database. By default, the TCP protocol is selected.
   Note
   
   If Oracle Data Guard is enabled on a DB system in the Base Database Service after Database Management was enabled for it using the TCPS protocol, then TCPS will have to be reconfigured. Enabling Data Guard is causing TCPS configuration to be overwritten, and it's recommended that TCPS is configured on the DB system after enabling Data Guard.
9. Port: Enter the port number. If TCP is selected in the Protocol field, then port number 1521 is displayed by default and you can change it, if required.
10. Database wallet secret: Select the secret that contains the database wallet from the drop-down list. This field is only displayed if TCPS is selected in the Protocol field. If an existing database wallet secret is not available, then select Create new secret... in the drop-down list. The Create database wallet secret panel is displayed and you can create a new secret. For information on database wallets and how to create a secret in the Vault service, see Oracle Cloud Database-related Prerequisite Tasks.

    Note that a service policy is required to grant Database Management (dpd) the permission to read the secret that contains the database wallet. If the service policy is not created, then the Service policy is required... message is displayed and you can click Add policy to view and automatically add it. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure IAM service creates the policy and it's added to a collection of policies called DBMgmt_Service_Policy in the IAM service.

    For information on:

    • Vault service permissions, see Permissions Required to Enable Diagnostics & Management for Oracle Cloud Databases.
    • IAM policies, see Managing Policies.

1. Database user name: Enter the database user name.
   Note
   
   If you're enabling Database Management for a database in an Oracle Data Guard configuration that contains a physical standby database in mounted state, you must ensure that the monitoring user has the SYSDG privilege.
2. User password secret: Select the secret that contains the database user password from the drop-down list. If the compartment in which the secret resides is different from the compartment displayed, then click Change compartment and select another compartment.

   If an existing secret with the database user password is not available, then select Create new secret... in the drop-down list. The Create password secret panel is displayed and you can create a new secret. For information on database monitoring user credentials and how to save the database user password as a secret in the Vault service, see Oracle Cloud Database-related Prerequisite Tasks.

   Note that a service policy is required to grant Database Management (dpd) the permission to read the secret that contains the database user password. If the service policy is not created, then the Service policy is required... message is displayed and you can click Add policy to view and automatically add it. The IAM service creates the policy and it's added to a collection of policies called DBMgmt_Service_Policy in the IAM service.

   For information on:

   • Vault service permissions required to use existing secrets or create new secrets, see Permissions Required to Enable Diagnostics & Management for Oracle Cloud Databases.
   • IAM policies, see Managing Policies.

• Private endpoint information (for Base Database Service): Select the private endpoint that will act as a representation of Database Management in the VCN in which the Oracle Cloud Database can be accessed. If the compartment in which the private endpoint resides is different from the compartment displayed, then click Change compartment and select another compartment.

  You must ensure that the appropriate Database Management private endpoint is available. Here are the two types of Database Management private endpoints:

  • Private endpoint for single instance Oracle Cloud Databases in the Base Database Service.
  • Private endpoint for RAC Oracle Cloud Databases in the Base Database Service.

  If an existing Database Management private endpoint is not available, then select Create private endpoint... in the drop-down list to create one. For information on how to create a private endpoint, see Create a Database Management Private Endpoint for Oracle Cloud Databases.

• Private Endpoint or Management Agent (for ExaDB-D): Select one of the available options to connect to the Oracle Cloud Database in ExaDB-D:
  • Private Endpoint: Select the private endpoint that will act as a representation of Database Management in the VCN in which the Oracle Cloud Database can be accessed. If the compartment in which the private endpoint resides is different from the compartment displayed, then click Change compartment and select another compartment.

    You must ensure that the appropriate Database Management private endpoint for RAC Oracle Cloud Databases in ExaDB-D is available.

    If an existing Database Management private endpoint is not available, then select Create private endpoint... in the drop-down list to create one. For information on how to create a private endpoint, see Create a Database Management Private Endpoint for Oracle Cloud Databases.

  • Management Agent: Select this option and the Management Agent in the Management Agent ID drop-down list. If the compartment in which the Management Agent resides is different from the compartment displayed, then click Change compartment and select another compartment.
    Note
    
    

    • If using a Management Agent when enabling Database Management, you cannot edit Database Management and select a different Management Agent later.
    • If Database Management is enabled for a CDB using a Management Agent, then the same Management Agent is used when enabling Database Management for its PDBs.

    If a Management Agent is not installed, then you must first install one. For information, see Install Management Agents.

• Management Agent (for ExaDB-C@C): Select the Management Agent in the Management Agent ID drop-down list to connect to the Oracle Cloud Database in ExaDB-C@C. If the compartment in which the Management Agent resides is different from the compartment displayed, then click Change compartment and select another compartment.
  Note
  
  The same Management Agent that was used to enable Database Management for a CDB is used when enabling Database Management for its PDBs.

  If a Management Agent is not installed, then you must first install one. For generic information, see Install Management Agents and for additional information on how to install a Management Agent on Exadata Cloud to enable Database Management, see Observability & Management Support For Exadata Cloud (Doc ID 3015115.1) in My Oracle Support.
