Configuring the Connection Between the DAC Server and DAC Repository

Configuring the Connection Between the DAC Server and DAC Repository

On Windows, you can use the DAC Client to configure the connection between the DAC Server and the DAC repository if the DAC Client and DAC Server are running in the same \dac folder.

Optionally, or to configure a DAC Server installed in another folder or on another Windows machine, use the serverSetupPrompt.bat file to configure the repository connection from the additional machine or folder

On UNIX or Linux, use the serverSetupPrompt.sh script to configure the connection between the DAC Server and the DAC repository.

Note the following points:

• In standalone mode, you must configure the connection between the DAC Server and DAC repository from the location where the DAC Server will be running.
• Only one DAC Server at a time should connect to a DAC repository. It is possible to configure connections between multiple DAC Servers and a single DAC repository, but only one DAC Server at a time should be allowed to connect to the DAC repository.

To use the DAC Client to configure the connection between the DAC Server and the DAC repository

1. Make sure an authentication file (cwallet.sso) has been created and placed in the <DAC_Config_Location>\conf-shared\security\repository directory.
2. In the DAC Client, on the Tools menu, select DAC Server Management, and then select DAC Server Setup.
3. Click Yes to display the Server Configuration dialog.
4. In the Repository Connection Information tab, click Populate from preconfigured client connection. This will populate the fields with connection details from the DAC Client.
5. Click Test Connection to make sure the DAC repository connection works.
6. Click Save.

To use the serverSetupPrompt files to configure the connection between the DAC Server and the DAC repository

1. Run the serverSetupPrompt script, as follows:
   
   • On Windows, double-click the serverSetupPrompt.bat located in the <Domain_Home>\dac directory.
   • On UNIX or Linux, run serverSetupPrompt.sh located in the <Domain_Home>/dac directory.
2. Enter 1 in the 'Please make your selection' prompt to enter repository connection information.
3. Enter the number for the type of database storing the DAC repository from the list of connection type choices.
4. Enter the appropriate connection information for the database.
5. Enter 2 to test the DAC repository connection.
6. Enter 5 to save changes.
7. Enter 6 to exit.
