Discovery

Environment discovery is a process that enables the OBI Plugin to determine Oracle installation details on a host. Whenever there is any changes (installing a new binary home) to an already set up environment in the Delphix application, environment refresh need to be performed.

Prerequisites

  • Install delphix engine compatible with the OBI plugin version as per support matrix
  • Install Oracle binaries on staging and target servers
  • Install OBI Plugin

Refresh Environment

Environment refresh will update the metadata associated with that environment and copies new plugin to the host.

Steps:

  1. Login to the Delphix Management application.
  2. Click Manage.
  3. Select Environments.
  4. In the Environments panel, click the name of the environment you want to refresh.
  5. Select the Refresh icon.
  6. In the Refresh confirmation dialog select Refresh.

Sourceconfig

Every environment contains repositories and each environment may have any number of repositories associated with it. Repository represents the binaries for Oracle Instance. Each repository can have many SourceConfig which represent Oracle instance. There is no sourceconfig generated automatically in obi-plugin. We need to configure SourceConfig objects through which we can create a dSource.
