Instead of a live connection to an Oracle database, you can specify a snapshot file. The snapshot is a proprietary file, created by the schema compare, that contains all the information necessary to recreate an Oracle schema.
 |
A snapshot file can be specified for the source or the target connection. However, the schema on which the synchronization should be executed, has to be a live schema and not a schema created from a snapshot file. |
Below is the a typical xml fragment, generated by the wizard, that contains a snapshot file:
<LeftConnection>
<SnapshotFile>D:\QA\OracleSchema\Snapshots\HR.snpx</SnapshotFile>
</LeftConnection>
