12.1 Understanding Sentinel Data Manager
The Sentinel Data Manager (SDM) is a tool by which users can manage the Sentinel Database. The
SDM allows users to perform the following operations:
Monitor Database Space Utilization
View and Manage Database Partitions
Configure Auto-Archives
Configure Auto-Addition of Partitions
Monitor 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 line
interface to SDM.
NOTE: Event Mapping, Summary Data and Reporting data are SDM functionalities which are
moved from SDM to Sentinel Control Center in Sentinel 6.x.
12.2 Starting the SDM GUI
There 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 date
of this document, this file could be found at the following URL:
tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
This file, typically called
the 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 default
for SQL Server)
To start SDM GUI on UNIX:
1 Login to the UNIX box as a member of the esec group (for example: esecadm).

, will be installed by default on the machine that hosts
ojdbc14.jar
