AppsUnlimited Analyzer Series: An Overview of Implementing a Support Analyzer

In the article “Overview of the Analyzer Documents” we briefly covered the different sections of each analyzer document. These documents provide what you need to know in order to implement (install and run) the individual analyzers. Let’s delve deeper into what’s involved with implementing an analyzer.

1. Review any “Technical Requirements” that provide information about pre-requisites, e.g. required java version, providing necessary privileges, etc. 

2. Read the instructions in the “Download” section, then click the download button to install it. 

3. Review the “Running the Analyzer” section for specific instructions you need for running the analyzer. The section will tell you if there are steps that must be completed first, such as setting environment variables or providing privileges to run scripts, etc. It also provides required parameters for the analyzer, i.e. data information you will need to provide to extract the necessary information from your system. Some may provide different options for methods to run the analyzer, e.g. via SQL*Plus or via the command line.
