Oracle reconciliation

concept brazil Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read oracle-recon.md

Oracle reconciliation keeps your Oracle license positions accurate and up-to-date without requiring manual calculations. Reconciliation runs weekly or on-demand.

When you run an Oracle reconciliation, Software Asset Management determines the Rights Used By and Rights Needed By allocations for the named users, physical devices, and physical hosts that are accessing or running an Oracle product. You can use this information to keep your Oracle products in conformance.

Note: Any allocations that you make on a physical host are considered valid. Software Asset Management marks these allocations as Allocated in use in the license workbench. Any allocations that you make on a virtual host, such as a virtual machine (VM), are considered invalid. Software Asset Management marks these allocations as Allocated not in use.

During reconciliation, records from the Oracle Options [samp_oracle_options] table are included only if they meet the following conditions:

The Considered for licensing field is set to Yes.
The given Oracle Database option is associated with an Oracle Database instance that is running on one of the following devices:
- Physical server
- Virtual server that has a relationship with a physical server
- End user device, such as a computer

For Oracle database and WebLogic server licensing on VMware virtualization technology, you can select the level of aggregation for your reconciliation calculation using the Select the level of aggregation for reconciling licenses for Oracle databases and WebLogic servers on VMware property. You can also enable Software Asset Management to account for VM-Host affinity rules during Oracle reconciliation using the Use host affinity for reconciling licenses for Oracle databases and WebLogic servers on VMware at the vCenter(s) aggregation level property. See Software Asset Management properties for information on these properties.

# Oracle reconciliation

Oracle reconciliation keeps your Oracle license positions accurate and up-to-date without requiring manual calculations. Reconciliation runs weekly or on-demand.

When you run an Oracle reconciliation, Software Asset Management determines the **Rights Used By** and **Rights Needed By** allocations for the named users, physical devices, and physical hosts that are accessing or running an Oracle product. You can use this information to keep your Oracle products in conformance.

**Note:** Any allocations that you make on a physical host are considered valid. Software Asset Management marks these allocations as **Allocated in use** in the license workbench. Any allocations that you make on a virtual host, such as a virtual machine \(VM\), are considered invalid. Software Asset Management marks these allocations as **Allocated not in use**.

During reconciliation, records from the Oracle Options \[samp\_oracle\_options\] table are included only if they meet the following conditions:

-   The **Considered for licensing** field is set to **Yes**.
-   The given Oracle Database option is associated with an Oracle Database instance that is running on one of the following devices:
    -   Physical server
    -   Virtual server that has a relationship with a physical server
    -   End user device, such as a computer

For Oracle database and WebLogic server licensing on VMware virtualization technology, you can select the level of aggregation for your reconciliation calculation using the **Select the level of aggregation for reconciling licenses for Oracle databases and WebLogic servers on VMware** property. You can also enable Software Asset Management to account for VM-Host affinity rules during Oracle reconciliation using the **Use host affinity for reconciling licenses for Oracle databases and WebLogic servers on VMware at the vCenter\(s\) aggregation level** property. See [Software Asset Management properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/it-asset-management/software-asset-management/sam-properties.md) for information on these properties.
