Oracle as a target

The Oracle target endpoint supports both cloud and on-premises databases. To connect to an on-premises database, your environment must have a self-managed Groundplex configured in the Classic Manager shared folder. Refer to Connect to on-premises endpoints for more information.

When you select MySQL, if AutoSync detects that a Groundplex is available, a dialog opens that enables you to select a cloud or on-premises database. For an on-premises database, you must also select a Groundplex.

Supported account types

To provide connection information, you can enter credentials in AutoSync, Designer, or Classic Manager. Designer and Classic Manager offer multiple account types for most endpoints and not all types are compatible with AutoSync. When you create or edit a data pipeline, the existing credentials list includes only compatible account assets. AutoSync supports the following Designer and Classic Manager account types:

  • Oracle Thin Account

Connection configuration

Oracle properties include the following:

  • Credential label: A unique, meaningful name such as Oracle-Sales-Admin. If a configuration with the same name exists, AutoSync displays an Asset conflict error message.
  • Hostname: The name of the machine hosting the database.
  • Port Number: The port number to connect to the database. Default value: 1521
  • Database name: The name of the database. For example, MyDB.
  • Username: A username for an account with the correct permissions for AutoSync to synchronize data.
  • Password: The password for the account. Multiple retries with an invalid password can cause your account to be locked.
  • Database specifier type: The format of the JDBC URL. AutoSync formats the connection parameters into one of the following options. Default value: Service name
    • Service name: Uses the jdbc:oracle:thin@//HOST:PORT/DBNAME format.
    • SID: Uses the jdbc:oracle:thin@HOST:PORT:DBNAME format.
  • Share: (Optional) Select a user group to share this configuration with. Org admins create user groups to share credentials. If you are a member of a user group, you can select it from the dropdown. You can also select the global shared folder, which shares the credentials with everyone in your Org.
  • Validate and Save: After saving and validating, AutoSync adds the configuration to the list of saved credentials.
  • Select schema: AutoSync populates this list from the account. Choose the destination schema.
