  • Database character set: AL32UTF8
  • National character set: AL16UTF16

The Oracle database initialization parameter value for OPEN_CURSORS should be set to at least 1000. Both of the tablespaces for FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications (Admin and Reporting) may need, in total, up to 1,000 open cursors. If the Oracle database is being used by other applications, set this value accordingly.
