Oracle Connection
Initial Step
Prior to running CopyStorm for the first time, create a fresh Oracle database.
Oracle Connection String
The only complicated configuration required in the CopyStorm Main tab is the Oracle connection string. Clicking on the Connection String Builder button will open a form that will construct the connection string for you, given database information.
You will likely need one of these forms:
- myDomain.com:1521:orcl
- myDomain.com:1521:xe
- localhost:1521
The connection string can be verified by pressing the “Test Oracle Connection” button.
The following is a screen shot of a working Oracle setup on one of our test computers:
