3.2 Create a Credential

New credentials are created when database details are changed or updated. For example, change in Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) due to hostname change or compulsory periodic update of schema passwords.

Oracle Wallet provides a simple and easy method to manage database credentials across multiple domains. It allows you to update database credentials by updating the Wallet instead of having to change individual data store definitions.
To create a new password credential for the wallet, follow these steps:
  1. On the Compliance Studio workspace LHS Menu, click Credentials. The Credentials page is displayed.
