The Data Masker
Schema Connection Information Dialog Box

The Data Masker software needs to connect to the target Oracle database schemas in order to modify the data as specified by the masking rules. The Schema Connection Information dialog box configures the schema connection information.


The Data Masker Schema Connection Information Dialog Box

The Schema Connection Information dialog box contains three fields which enable the complete connection information for an Oracle schema to be specified.

What the fields mean: The Username and Password fields are the Oracle schema username and password and are not case sensitive. The Database field is the Oracle TNSNAMES entry for that database. It is important to realise that this entry is the entry in the PC's tnsnames.ora file not the one listed on the server. It is essential that you ensure the TNSNAMES field is configured accurately so that it connects you to the correct database.

Basically, these three fields are the same as you would use to connect to the database from the PC via the Oracle SQL*Plus application.

Testing Connectivity
Press the Test button to test either of the connections. If the connection is unsuccessful an indication of the error involved will be displayed.
