Connecting a database source to a target - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Version 1.0 - Help - Hexagon

This topic explains how to connect a database source to a target.

The source and target do not have to be of the same database type or version.

When you open the Reference Data Comparison Utility the Source Target Connection Window looks similar to this:

1. On the Source Target Connection ,window, under the Source Type column, select the required source from the Source Type selection box. The options are:

   • ORACLE DB

   • MSS DB

   • Project Package (see Connect a DDTI Project Data File to a database for more information.)

   • SI INI file

2. In the Server Name field, type the name of the source server.

3. In the Database Name field, type the source database name.

4. Type the relevant information in the Schema Name and Schema Password fields.

5. Under the Target Type column, select the target type from the Target Type selection box. The options are:

   • Oracle DB

   • MSS DB

   • Project Package

   • SI INI file

     SI INI file can only be selected if you have an SI ini file on the same machine as the Reference Data Comparison Utility. Selecting this option without an .ini file causes the Reference Data Comparison Utility to close.

     Selecting SI INI file, automatically fills in the required fields for the source or target. These fields are read only and cannot be edited.

6. In the Server Name field, type the name of the target server.

7. In the Database Name field, type the target database name.

8. Type the relevant information in the Schema Name and Schema Password fields.

9. Click Connect.
