Configuring a Connection to an Oracle ASM Instance

Configuring a Connection to an Oracle ASM Instance

If you use Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) to manage storage for Oracle source data, you must enter connection settings for the ASM instance that you want to use for data replication.
  1. In the
    New
     dialog box, select the
    ASM Settings
     tab.
    The following image shows this tab:
  2. Select the
    Enable ASM
     check box.
  3. Enter connection information for the ASM instance.
    In an Oracle RAC with multiple ASM instances, you can enter connection information for any one of the running ASM instances.
    The following table describes the fields on the
    ASM Settings
     tab:
    Field
    Description
    ASM instance host name
    The host name or IP address of the system with the ASM instance.
    ASM instance port
    The port number that is used to connect to the ASM instance. Valid values are integers from 1 through 65535. The default value is 1521.
    ASM sys username
    The user name of the default Oracle user that was created at Oracle installation, or another user that you define. This user must have SYSDBA privileges.
    ASM sys password
    A clear text password for the ASM SYS user.
    ASM instance
    A service name for the ASM instance. The default value is +ASM. If you want to use the Oracle instance name instead, select the
    Use SID instead of SERVICE_NAME
     check box and then enter an Oracle instance name that is defined in an ORACLE_SID environment variable.
    JDBC custom URL
    A connection URL for the JDBC driver that the Data Replication Console uses. This URL has the following format: jdbc:
    <subprotocol>
    :
    <subname>
    JDBC custom connection strings always use the values that are specified in the
    ASM sys username
     and
    ASM sys password
     fields. Ensure that any JDBC custom connection string that you enter does not include a user name and password.
    Custom Connection String
    A connection string for the ODBC driver that the Extractor uses to access the ASM instance.
    If you use an ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) to connect to the ASM instance, provide the DSN connection string.
    Ensure that any custom connection string that you specify includes a user name that has the authority to read from the source database. A custom connection string can include the password for this user, or you can specify the password in the
    ASM sys Password
     field. If you specify the password in both the connection string and
    ASM sys Password
     fields, Data Replication uses the password in the custom connection string.
    On Windows, if you installed multiple ODBC driver versions on one system, use this setting to specify a name for the driver that you want to use.
    Use SID instead of SERVICE_NAME
    To use the Oracle instance name instead of the ASM instance name to establish connections to the source, select this check box. Then enter the Oracle instance name in the
    ASM instance
     field.
  4. Click
    Test Connection
     to verify the ASM connection settings.
  5. When you are done defining both the Oracle database connection and ASM connection, click
    OK
    .
