Figure 24. Oracle Database properties
You access the properties to configure the driver for this database by expanding , and double-clicking the OracleDatabase node in the Nav tree.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Host Address (database device components) | IP address |
Sets the IP address or hostname of the computer platform where the database resides. A Dialup selection option is available,
if required. This property does not apply to the MySQL device.
|
| Use Encrypted Connection | true or false (default)
|
Indicates if the connection between the station and the database is secure (
true) or not secure (false). To ensure that your system cannot be hacked, leave this property set to true. Change it only if your database does not support data encryption.
|
| User Name (database device components) | text |
Defines the user name used to log in to the database.
Login credentials must provide sufficient database privileges to allow you to perform one or more (depending on database type) of these commands: CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE SEQUENCE |
| Password (database device components) | text |
Defines the password required to log in to the database. The
Confirm property must be an exact match to the Password property.
|
| Worker | additional properties | The “rdb-RdbmsWorker” topic documents these properties. |
| Export Mode (database device components) | drop-down list |
Specifies how histories are exported to the specified database.
|
| Use Unicode Encoding Scheme (database device components) | true or false (default)
|
Creates history table schemas with the Universal character set Transformation Format (UTF-8) or Unicode data types for string-valued
columns to store Asian character sets.
NOTE: An Update Wizard is available to upgrade existing databases to support Unicode.
|
| Timestamp Storage | enum property drop-down list (defaults to Dialect Default)
|
Exports or updates history timestamps to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) enabling the export of history records from different
timezones into a common database and be chronologically correct and independent of any specific source timezone characteristics.
In other words, exported histories show the timestamp data from where the history is actually stored, making useable histories
with a consistent timestamp.
NOTE: An Update Wizard is available to upgrade existing databases to support Unicode.
|
| Points | folder | Holds all points. |
| Sql Scheme Enabled (database device components) | true or false (default)
|
Permits (
true) and prohibits (false) the use of ORDs that contain sql:.
If a BFormat contains sql:, users can directly query the database bypassing framework access control and make direct changes to the database. This is
a security risk. Best security practice sets this property to |
| Rdb Security Settings | additional properties | The “rdb-RdbSecuritySettings” topic documents these properties. |
| Tls Min Protocol | drop-down menu |
Selects the minimum TLS protocol that can be negotiated when establishing encrypted communications with a database server.
|
| Verify Subject In Certificate | true (default) or false |
If set to
true, the Rdbms driver verifies that the Subject present in the server’s certificate matches an expected value. The value used for the comparison to the Subject in the server’s certificate is specific to each Rdbms device type.
|
| Port | number (the default value depends on the rdb Database type) |
Specifies the port number to use when connecting with the database. Defaults are:
HsqlDbDatabase, no port specified because this rdb is for local database use only: MySQLDatabase: 3306 OracleDatabase: 1521 SqlServerDatabase: 1433 |
| Service Name | text | Refers to the Oracle SID or System Identifier, which uniquely identifies a database instance. It allows you to configure a connection to an Oracle database if the user has not been previously set up in the Oracle Database with a default SID, or to connect to an SID that is not the default. If a default SID has been set up and you need to connect to it, you can leave this property blank. |
| Histories | additional properties | “rdbMySQL-MySQLHistoryDeviceExt” documents these properties. |
| My Sql Server Cert | drop-down list |
Defines the database server certificate for TLS secure communication.
If the field is empty, a Common Name (CN) is formed based on the host name from the |
Actions
This component supports the following actions:
- Ping sends a message to a network object (device, database, etc). The message provokes a response, which indicates the current state of the object.
- Allow Dialect Modifications makes the
Timestamp Storageproperty writable within the RdbmsNetwork Update Wizard. When the wizard converts a database to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), it sets this property to read-only.
