Setting Up the DAC Server

This section provides the procedure for configuring the connection between the DAC server and the DAC repository and for setting up email recipients. You must perform this task on the machine hosting the DAC server. There should be one installation of the DAC server for each DAC repository. The repository configuration is mandatory. Setting up email recipients is optional.

The DAC server has a built-in login-authentication based email (SMTP) client, so it talks to any SMTP login-authenticating server to send emails. The DAC server notifies email recipients about the status of various on-going activities, such as the status of an ETL execution.

NOTE:  On machines in which you must use Telnet, such as UNIX servers, you can also invoke the serverSetup script. This option leads you into setting up the server bootup properties and also the email account configuration.

To configure the DAC repository connection and email recipients

  1. Launch the DAC client by double-clicking the startclient.bat file in the DAC directory or by running startclient from a command prompt.
  2. From the menu bar, click Tools > DAC Server Management DAC Server Setup.

    A confirmation dialog box asks you to confirm that you want to configure the DAC repository connection.

  3. Click Yes.

    The Server Configuration dialog box appears.

  4. In the Repository Configuration tab, enter the appropriate information.
  5. Click Test Connection to make sure the connection works.
  6. In the Email Configuration, enter the appropriate information, and click Save.

Once the configuration has been completed, you can start the DAC server by double-clicking on the startserver.bat file in the DAC directory or by running the startserver.bat from a command window.
