Issue/Introduction

What would occur in current releases if the backend Oracle DB is not certified or unsupported?

Resolution

Symantec DLP Support only supports the Oracle DB if it is Standard Edition on Windows and Red Hat Linux, no archive mode. Otherwise Symantec DLP only supports the schema (definition on Oracle website), and the Oracle DB Server has to be explicitly supported by the respective DBA Team.

In order to provide full support of the schema and the DB environment, you have to be running Oracle in the version specific to the DLP version as outlined in the System Requirements Guide.

A full outline regarding the scope of support regarding supported configurations can be found in the Broadcom Support Policies announcement, by following the link on that page to the latest Broadcom Software Maintenance Policy Handbook.

Specifically, look in the following section, 

2.2.1 Customer Obligations

Maintenance term.
