The Oracle automation operation is used to scan existing devices for oracle databases.
For the Targets defined by filter option, the following settings are available:
•Host name or pattern: This field can contain a concrete host name, address, or regular expression. Information about how to use regular expression refer to the Microsoft Documentation.
Example:
[a-z]+\.sitea\.mydomain
•[a-z]: all lowercase letters from "a" to "z".
•+: the preceding element can be matched one or more times.
•\.: matches a "."
Therefore this regular expression can be used to filter for everything that starts with letters only and ends with ".sitea.mydomain".

•IP address or pattern: This field can contain a concrete host name, address, or regular expression.
