The following configuration directives control the access to the Oracle database.
ORACLE_HOME
Used to set ORACLE_HOME environment variable
to the Oracle libraries required
by the DBD::Oracle Perl module.
ORACLE_DSNThis directive is used to set the data source name in the form of standard DBI DSN. For example:
dbi:Oracle:host=oradb_host.myhost.com;sid=DB_SID;port=1521
or
dbi:Oracle:DB_SID
On 18c, this could be for example:
dbi:Oracle:host=192.168.1.29;service_name=pdb1;port=1521
For the second notation, the SID should be declared in the file
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
or in the path given to the TNS_ADMIN
environment variable.
ORACLE_DSN
ORACLE_PWDThese two directives are used to define the user and password for the Oracle database connection. Note that if you can, it is better to log in as Oracle super admin to avoid grants problem during the database scan and be sure that nothing is missing.
If you do not supply a credential with
ORACLE_PWD, and you have installed
the Term::ReadKey Perl module,
ora2pgpro will ask for the password
interactively. If ORACLE_USER is not
set, it will be asked interactively too.
To connect to a local Oracle instance
with connections as SYSDBA, you have to set
ORACLE_USER to /
and an empty password.
USER_GRANTS
Set this directive to 1 if you connect to
the Oracle database
as a simple user and do not have enough grants to extract
things from the DBA_ tables.
It will use tables ALL_ instead.
Warning: if you use the export type GRANT,
you must set this configuration option to 0, or it will not work.
TRANSACTIONThis directive may be used if you want to change the default isolation level of the data export transaction. Default is to set the level to a serializable transaction to ensure data consistency. The allowed values for this directive are:
ORA_INITIAL_COMMANDThis directive can be used to send an initial command to Oracle, just after the connection, for example, to unlock a policy before reading objects or to set some session parameters. This directive can be used multiple times.
