Step 1 - Describe Databases

The following settings are available in "Step 1 - Describe databases" of the setup wizard.

Oracle

What type of database is this? (Oracle/MySQL/MSSQL): 

Select the database type. The choices are:

• Oracle (can be source and target database)
• MySQL (can only be target database)
• Microsoft SQL Server (can only be target database)

Please enter database TNS alias

Specify the TNS alias used to connect to this database (Oracle only).

Please enter SYSDBA user name: [SYS]

Specify the sysdba user name (Oracle only). 

Please enter password for this user

Specify the password for the SYSDBA user (Oracle only).

Please enter user with DBA role

Specify the DBA user name (Oracle only). 

Enter the Dbvisit Replicate owner and apply user (this user will be created by this script): [dbvrep]

A Dbvisit Replicate repository will be created in this database. This is the database username that will own this repository.

Please enter password for this user: [dbvpasswd] 

Specify the password for the Dbvisit Replicate repository user.

Please enter default permanent tablespace for this user

Specify the default tablespace of the Dbvisit Replicate repository user.

Please enter default temporary tablespace for this user

Specify the temporary tablespace of the Dbvisit Replicate repository user.

Does the database use ASM? (yes/no)

Does this database use the ASM filesystem (only ASM 10.2. or higher is supported).

(SESSION_TIMEZONE) - Database timezone: [+00:00]

Select the Database timezone if it is different. This is relevant only if columns of type TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE are replicated.

The NLS_LANG variable is set at the apply environment and behaves like the NLS_LANG evironment does: it sets the language, territory and character set of the apply session. The language and territory are not very important (they affect things like Oracle error messages shown), the character set must be set to the source database character set, so the any character strings applied are treated correctly according the character set they are in.

(NCHARSET) - Database national character set: [AL16UTF16]
