Installing Data Sync
Data Sync stores sensitive information, including connection
information to our on-premises databases. It is recommended that we only
install Data Sync in protected environments where the operating system and file
system privileges are tightly controlled.
Prerequisite:
Install Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.7 or later
Note:
Data Sync doesn’t work with Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
We must install JDK.
Steps for installing
and configuring Data Sync:
Download Data Sync from Oracle Technology Network:
Unzip BICSDataSync_Vx_x.Zip to a directory
with no spaces in its name.
Setting JAVA_HOME:
Open config.bat (Windows) or config.sh (Linux
or Unix).
Replace @JAVA_HOME with the directory where JDK is
installed.
Copy any database-specific JDBC drivers that we need to Data
Sync’s \lib directory.
Data Sync installs Oracle JDBC driver 11.2.x. If we want to
connect to a different database (for example, Microsoft SQL Server or DB2) or
if you want to use a different Oracle driver from the default version, obtain
and manually copy the required files to the \lib directory
