Oracle Express Edition has already been installed…installed via it's RPM package using all default values.
An additional tablespace called REPOE_DATA has been added to hold the application data used by Rep Attack.
It can be downloaded from the Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 downloads page. It requires you to sign up for a (free) Oracle Account if you don't already have one.
Oracle Databases
Each machine has the default Oracle XE database installed it it's default configuration. The default database installed with Oracle XE always has the ORACLE_SID of XE but to make it less confusing between the source and target databases, two TNS alias have been set up in the tnsnames.ora files of both the source and target machines.
| No Format |
|---|
source =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = source)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)
)
target =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = target)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)
) |
| Tip |
|---|
If you want to use these tns entries on your host machine to connect to the databases, you will have to place source and target entries into the hosts file on the host machine or replace the hostnames with the hardcoded IP addresses. |
