Oracle LMS Script
This article explains the Oracle LMS script, a utility used in licensing assessments and audit-related activities
The Oracle LMS script is a diagnostic tool provided by Oracle, used in the context of software license assessments and compliance reviews. It is intended to extract data from Oracle Database environments in a format compatible with Oracle's internal review processes.
The LMS script is commonly associated with Oracle's License Management Services and is used to support activities such as internal self-assessments, licensing evaluations, or formal audits. It produces structured output designed for review by Oracle or designated stakeholders.
How to Run the Script
Requirements
- Access to the Oracle Database instance
- SYSDBA privileges
- SQL*Plus or a compatible SQL execution environment
- Permissions to write output files to a designated location
Execution Steps
- Place the script on the database server or an accessible directory.
- Open a terminal session.
- Launch SQL*Plus with administrative access:
bashCopyEditsqlplus / as sysdba
- Navigate to the script’s location.
- Execute the script:
sqlCopyEditSQL> @<script_name>.sql
