To create an Oracle Exadata at Azure database connection:
  1. From the OCI GoldenGate Overview page, click Connections.
    You can also click Create Connection under the Get started section and skip to step 3.
  2. On the Connections page, click Create Connection.
  3. In the Create Connection panel, complete the General Information fields as follows:

    2. (Optional) For Description, enter a description that helps you distinguish this connection from others.
    3. For Compartment, select the compartment in which to create the connection.
    4. From the Type dropdown, under Oracle, select Oracle Exadata at Azure.
    5. (Optional) Click Show Advanced Options to manage keys or add tags.
      1. Under Security, select one of the following:
        • Select Use Oracle-managed encryption key to leave all encryption key management to Oracle.
        • Select Use customer-managed encryption key to select a specific encryption key stored in your OCI Vault to encrypt your connection credentials.
      2. Under Tags, add tags to organize your resources.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Complete the Connection Details fields as follows:
    1. (Optional) For Database connection string, enter the Oracle Exadata at Azuredatabase's connection string. Enter the Private IP only if the hostname is not resolvable from your subnet or if it uses SSL/TLS.

      Note:

      If you enter a private IP, then OCI GoldenGate rewrites the private IP in the format, ip-10-0-0-0.ociggsvc.oracle.vcn.com.
    2. For Database username, enter the username to connect to the database with.
    3. For Database password, enter the password associated to the username provided in the previous step.
    4. (Optional) For Database wallet, drag and drop or select the wallet.zip for this database.
    5. For Network connectivity, select a Traffic routing method:
      • Shared endpoint, to share an endpoint with the assigned deployment. You must allow connectivity from the deployment's ingress IP.
      • Dedicated endpoint, for network traffic through a dedicated endpoint in the assigned subnet in your VCN. You must allow connectivity from this connection's ingress IPs. If selected, select a subnet from the dropdown.
  6. Click Create.
After the connection is created, it appears in the Connections list where you can select it to view its details. Ensure that you assign the connection to a deployment to use it as a source or target in a replication.
