Global Database Name in Linux OAM and DB (OCI) environment for DB auditing
When adding Database Instances with OCI DB connection type, which is the only option for *nix based OAM installs, we have to specify the Global Database Name (GDN) for the database. Ever wondered what should the correct format for GDN be?
During a deployment, I faced this question, and after some trial and error and reading Oracle Instant Client documentation, I figured it out:
<DB Host>:<DB Port>/<ORACLE_SID>
