Environment

Sentinel 5.1.3

Situation

Single server running Sentinel 5.1.3's Oracle database instance. Can a second instance of Oracle be added to the same server for a test environment?

Resolution

While configuring a second Oracle instance may be possible on one server which Sentinel could use, multiple instances of Oracle on the same server are not supported. A second server should be used for the test environment to prevent the extra load from impacting the production environment.
