Migration Considerations

You can migrate an adapter configuration from one platform to another. The
configuration information is stored in the Oracle Connect repository on the source
platform and is exported to an XML file which can then be imported to the target
platform.
Note that when migrating a configuration, any file names and paths that are specific to
the source platform must be changed to valid files on the target platform.
To migrate an adapter configuration using Oracle Studio, perform the following steps:
From the Start menu, select Programs, Oracle, and then select Studio.
1.
In the Design perspective, Configuration view, expand the Machines folder.
2.
In the Configuration Explorer, right-click the required computer, and select Export
3.
XML definitions.
Specify the path and name of the XML file where the XML representation of the
4.
computer and its complete configuration is stored.
Edit any paths in the XML definition to the paths required on the target platform.
5.
For example, the setting for the serverLogFile might need changing, depending on
the platform.
Set up the target platform in Oracle Studio in the same way you set up the source
6.
platform, as described in
page 2-14.
In the Configuration Explorer, right-click the target computer and select Import
7.
XML definitions.
Import the XML file to the target platform.
8.

Security Considerations

Oracle Connect works within the confines of the platform security system. For
example, on an z/OS computer with RACF installed, and with the workspace server
mode set to multi-tasking, a TRACROUTE VERIFY is performed for each task in the
address space, according to the client connection.
In addition, Oracle Connect provides the following security:
A binary XML encryption mechanism, which is activated as follows:
■
Description
Enter the date format to use for XML. The options are:
ISO (the default): The date format is:
■
YY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.ss..]
ODBC: The date format is: YYYY-MM-DD
■
HH:MM:SS[.NNN...]
Select this to replace invalid XML characters with a '?'. This
property is used for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes.
Select this to enable padded spaces to be trimmed from XML
string columns when the record format is fixed. By default this is
selected, and padded spaces are trimmed for fixed size character
columns. If you do not want this behavior, clear this check box.
