Configuring database access for Oracle operations
You can configure database access to enable the Backup Exec server to authenticate Oracle operations.
To configure database access for Oracle operations
- Click the Database Access tab.
- (Optional) The first time that you start the Backup Exec Agent Utility, click Change Settings to enable the options.
- Complete the appropriate options to configure database access:
Enable the Backup Exec server to authenticate Oracle operations
Select this option to enable Oracle operations between the Backup Exec server and this computer.
User name
Specify a user name that has administrative rights to this computer. This logon account is what the Backup Exec server uses when it connects to this computer.
If you specify an IP address or a fully qualified computer name as part of the user name, the Backup Exec Agent Utility may not be able to verify the user account. If the credentials entered are incorrect, the error "cannot attach to a resource" may be displayed when you run a backup or restore job.
You must add this computer name and logon account to the Backup Exec server's list of authentication credentials for Oracle servers. If the authentication fails when the Oracle resources are backed up, the backup job fails. If the authentication fails when you are browsing the backup sets for a restore job, then the backup sets become unavailable, and you must run a DBA-initiated restore job to restore data.
Password
Specify the password for this logon account.
Note:
For security reasons, the logon credentials are not stored on the remote computer.
Confirm Password
Type the password again to confirm it.
Use a custom port to connect to the Backup Exec server during Oracle operations
Select this option to change the port that is used for communications between this computer and the Backup Exec server during Oracle operations. By default, port 5633 is used.
If you change the port number on this computer, you must also change it on the Backup Exec server, and then restart the Backup Exec Job Engine Service on the Backup Exec server.
Port number
Type the port number that you want to use for communications between this computer and the Backup Exec server.
- Click OK.
- On the Backup Exec server, add the name of the Oracle server and the user name that you entered on the Database Access tab to the Backup Exec server's list of authentication credentials.
