# Oracle reconciliation

# Oracle reconciliation {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
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 compliance.  
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://www.servicenow.com/docs/J7WJ6bTTJaVCokIsa3QO0Q "You can set default reconciliation properties such as grouping and reconciliation debugging.") for information on these properties.
* **[Set up domain-specific reconciliation properties for Oracle](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/FHSDAYVEwMDTTycW134GLw)**   
  Use domain separation application properties for Software Asset Management to set up Oracle reconciliation properties for specific domains.
