Oracle related connection types include: Oracle7, Oracle8, Oracle9, Oracle10.
There are two different templates for connection type Oracle: oracle and odbc_oracle. Connection details for each template are explained next.
Choose the template oracle to use the native oracle connector (otherwise, choose the template odbc_oracle, see below).
LIBRARY_PATH
On Unix platforms you normally leave this field blank.
On Windows platforms you must enter the path to the Oracle libraries. The location is normally sub folder "bin" under ORACLE_HOME. You must enter the full path name.
E.g.: If your ORACLE_HOME equals to "C:\orant" you must enter "C:\orant\bin" as value for LIBRARY_PATH. Entering "%ORACLE_HOME%\bin" literally is invalid.
Failure to enter the correct path to the libraries may result in a pop-up window during a scan on the server where OnePoint Diagnostics is installed. The pop-up window will mention that Oracle libraries cannot be found in the path.
USERNAME, PASSWORD
Enter the Oracle user name and password to logon to the Oracle database. The user must have at least dba read permissions on all Baan and system tables.
ORACLE_HOME
Enter the correct value for ORACLE_HOME (the location of your Oracle software environment) in this field. Ask your Oracle DBA if you don't know the ORACLE_HOME value for the Baan database you want to scan.
ORACLE_SID
Enter the correct value for ORACLE_SID (the name of the Oracle instance) in this field. Ask your Oracle DBA if you don't know the ORACLE_SID value for the Baan database you want to scan.
PATH
Normally you leave this field blank. Theoretically you could use this field to extend the environment variable PATH - visible only to the OnePoint Diagnostics application. However use it exclusively if explicitly instructed by a support engineer.
LOCAL / TWO_TASK
The LOCAL and TWO_TASK parameters are one and the same. LOCAL is the parameter name on Windows platforms, TWO_TASK is the parameter name on Unix platforms.
If a database connection is laid by means of sql*net, then enter the value for LOCAL or TWO_TASK in this field.
Fill in this field if sql*net is involved in the connection between Baan and Oracle, regardless of the fact whether the database resides on the Baan application server or on a remote server.
TNS_ADMIN
The path to TNS_ADMIN is the location of the current initialization files of sql*net.
E.g. on Windows this can be %ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN (%ORACLE_HOME% needs to be typed out fully, e.g. c:\orant\NETWORK\ADMIN).
You only need to fill in this field if the path deviates from the standard. Otherwise, leave it blank.
If an oracle ODBC driver is present on your system you can also choose the template odbc_oracle to connect to the oracle database (otherwise, choose the template oracle, see above).
LIBRARY_PATH
See above for template oracle.
ORACLE_HOME
See above for template oracle.
ORACLE_SID
See above for template oracle.
DSN
Enter the Data Source Name for the ODBC connection. Contact your DBA to determine the correct DSN. You may also be helped by the section How to determine the ODBC Data Source Name.
UID, PWD
Enter the odbc user name and password to logon to the Oracle database.
