Specifying Oracle connections

The source and target connection steps allow you to specify the settings to be used for the source and target connection. The command line uses the same connection settings as the user-interface of the data compare. For more details on the Oracle connection settings, see the Adding Oracle Connection topic.

Even though we refer to connections as the "source" or "target", the command line can switch them, so the source can become the target and vice versa. See the command line settings for details.

Below is the a typical xml fragment, generated by the wizard, that contains the connection settings:

<LeftConnection>
    <ConnectionName>Source Schema;</ConnectionName>
    
    <Host>host-name-or-ip</Host>
    <Service>service-name</Service>
    <Username>HR</Username>
    <Password>********</Password>
  </LeftConnection>
  <RightConnection>
    <ConnectionName>Target Schema</ConnectionName>
    
    <Host>host-name-or-ip</Host>
    <Service>service-name</Service>
    <Username>HR_TARGET</Username>
    <Password>********</Password>
  </RightConnection>
