Yes, butt it will be necessary to involve someone with Database Administrator skills in order to correctly create the Oracle database that is to be used. STEP 1: Create the Oracle Database Have your Database Administrator create a database in Oracle to act as the repository. After doing this you will be supplied with the Database name and a user ID and password for accessing the database. The Oracle Net8 client connection software needs to be installed on the Silk Performer system. STEP 2: Create a System DSN (ODBC Data Source) Windows 2000: Click Start | Control panel | Administrative tools | ODBC DataSources | System DSN tab Windows NT: Click Start | Control panel ODBC DataSources | System DSN tab Click Add and then select the driver for the Oracle data source. It is important to specify the correct Oracle drivers in the DSN. Ensure that you have the correct driver e.g Oracle ODBC driver by Oracle (sqora32.dll ) NOTE: The following Microsoft for Oracle driver (msorcle32.dll) versions 2.5 (build 2.573.2927, 2.573.3513, and 2.573.4403): can cause the following error :- "Error microsoft [ODBC drvier for oracle] Error in Column #7 Numeric value out of range." For more information see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;199293 Fill in the required connection fields using the database name, user id and password from Step 1. STEP 3: Configure SilkPerformer To Use The Oracle Open Silk Performer Select TOOLS | REPOSITORY MANAGER Input Repository Name Select the Oracle Database Enter User Authentication used in the DSN Enter User Password used in the DSN Select Oracle as the DBMS Click Install Confirm that you want to insert tables for this user in this Data Source STEP 4: Confirm The Repository Works To confirm the successful configuration of the repository run a simple test and then check the results of the test in the repository.
