Configuring the Oracle Agent Software on the Proxy Server Client

You can configure the Oracle software on the proxy client so that you can use the Oracle native database export utility to protect Amazon RDS databases.

Before You Begin

  • If you use Oracle 12c, grant full control permission to the Oracle home user.

  • Review each of the following topics to get started with the installation:

    • To prepare for the installation, review general guidelines, which include configurations that your computer might need before the installation. For more information, see Prepare the Installation on UNIX.

    • Review agent specific guidelines, such as gathering the information that you must provide during the installation.

    • Select the installation method that is most appropriate for your environment. For more information see, Installation Methods.

Procedure

  1. Create an Oracle database on the proxy server in archive log mode with OPEN status. This database will be the source instance for data pump operations for the RDS instance. There will not be any growth for this database.

  2. Create a user in the database and configure the user in the connect string for the instance configuration on the proxy server. If you want the user to be externally authenticated using OS authentication, configure the connect string as "/" or " /@service" (where service is the service name) for the proxy instance. The user must have at least the following Oracle privileges:

    CREATE SESSION,CONNECT,CREATE ANY DIRECTORY,CREATE DATABASE LINK,DATAPUMP_EXP_FULL_DATABASE,DATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE,CREATE TABLE,DBA

  3. Create an Oracle instance. For more information, see Manually Adding CommCell Instances for Oracle Databases.

  4. To the proxy client computer, add the sCV_JAVA_HOME additional setting as shown in the following table.

    For instructions about adding additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.
