A major advantage of Network Manager is that data about the network is entered only once, then stored in a repository that may be either a flat file (operating- system-level) structure or an Oracle database. When a change is required, only the affected component is changed, and all parameter files can be quickly and easily regenerated and distributed as required.
If the Network Manager data is being stored in the database, several scripts must be run by the SYSTEM account to create the required database objects. These scripts, which are normally found in the ORAWIN DBS directory on a Windows client machine, are shown in Table 5.1.
