Oracle Catalog discovery

The Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application uses the Get Catalog info pattern extension of the Oracle DB on Unix and Oracle DB on Windows patterns to find Oracle Catalog objects. Discovering some of these resources may require updating to the latest version of the Discovery and Service Mapping Patterns application from the ServiceNow Store.

Discovery uses the Oracle DB on Unix and Oracle DB on Windows patterns and the Get Catalog info pattern extension to run horizontal discovery.

You can use this pattern on the ServiceNow AI Platform® using the Madrid release or later.

For information on Oracle database discovery, see Oracle database discovery.
