Oracle Target Connections

Oracle Target Connections

When you define an archive target connection for Oracle databases, you can choose from multiple connection types. The connection type that you choose depends on the database version.
Choose one of the following connection types to connect to an Oracle database:
  • Oracle 8i
  • Oracle 9i
  • Oracle 10g
  • Oracle 11g
  • Oracle 12c
Depending on the connection type, you can configure the following target connection properties:
Host
Host of the target application database server.
Port
Port of the target application database server.
Service Name
Unique identifier or system identifier for the target database server.
Admin Schema Name
Default administration database user for the target database server, such as SYSTEM.
Admin Login Name
Login name is the same as the schema name.
Password
Password for the administration login name.
Apps Schema Name
Application database user that owns the tables that you want to archive to. Also commonly referred to as the history application user.
Application Login Name
Login name for the target application database user.
Password
Password for the application login name.
Data Tablespace
Tablespace name in the application database user that stores the history tables when you run an archive cycle. The archive job always stores the history tables in this tablespace. The archive job only stores staging tables in this tablespace if you configure the source to use staging.
Index Tablespace
Index tablespace name for the history tables.
Database Link to Source
Database link name that connects the target database to the source database. The archive job uses the database link when the job copies data to the destination.
If you do not provide a value, then the archive job uses JDBC to move the data.
Target Attachment Location
Required to restore archived attachments from the history database or from the Data Vault to the source database.
Enter the target directory where you want to restore the external attachments. The directory is the location where the source application reads the attachments from. You must have write access to the directory.
Source/Staging Attachment Location
Required to restore archived attachments from the history database or from the Data Vault to the source database. The definition depends on the archived attachment location and whether the attachments are encrypted.
To restore attachments from the history database and non-encrypted attachments from the Data Vault, enter the current location of the archived attachments. This is the location where you originally archived the attachments to. You must have read access to the directory.
To restore encrypted attachments, such as Siebel attachments, from the Data Vault, enter a temporary location that is accessible to the ILM engine and the Data Vault Service for External Attachments component. The restore job moves the attachments from the Data Vault Service AM_ATTACHMENTS table to this temporary location.
Staging Script Location
Required to restore archived attachments from the history database or from the Data Vault to the source database. Enter a temporary location to store the script that the restore job generates.
For attachments in the history database and non-encrypted attachments from the Data Vault, the script moves the attachments from the source attachment location to the target attachment location.
For encrypted attachments in the Data Vault, the script uses the source application encryption utility to encrypt the attachments back into the source application proprietary format. Then, the script moves the attachments from the staging attachment location to the target attachment location.
Add-On URL
Required to restore encrypted attachments from the Data Vault to the source database. Enter the URL for the Data Vault Service for External Attachments. The Data Vault Service for External Attachments converts external attachments from the archived format into the source proprietary format.
Drop Destination Indexes
Controls whether the archive job drops the index on the history database before it inserts data in the history database. Use to improve performance when the archive job copies data to the destination.
Disable Triggers
Determines whether the system disables insert, update, and delete triggers when teh archive job deletes rows from tables.
If enabled, the system disables triggers when the archive job deletes data from the source.
If disabled, the system retains the triggers.
Default is enabled.
Only valid for restore archive jobs.
