Connection to Amazon RDS Oracle ODBC

If you do not have the ODBC. driver enabled, check our documentation below on how to enable it in Scriptcase for connection.

• To enable the Oracle ODBC: Click here

CAUTION: If you do not have an Amazon RDS database created, check how to create it by clicking here.

Creating a System ODBC Data Source

Check below the entire step by step to create an ODBC data source to connect to Scriptcase.

NOTE: ODBC must be created on the same server where ScriptCase is installed.

1 - Access your ODBC Data Source Manager and select according to your architecture. We will select the x64 version:

2 - When entering the ODBC Data Sources Administrator, select the DSN System tab and click on Add to create your connection to your Oracle Database.

3 - After that, it is necessary to select the Driver to connect to Oracle. Select Driver: Oracle in instantclient_19_6

4 - Now, enter the connection parameters as in the example below:

• Data Source Name: Define here the name of the ODBC object that will be used when connecting to Scriptcase.

• Description: Write a definition for the Data Source, what is the purpose for example.

• TNS Service Name: Enter the endpoint of the server where the database is installed along with Service Name or Instance.
  • EX: database-oracle.us-east-2.rds.amazonaws.com/ORCL
  • For more information about Oracle’s Service Name, click here.
    
    
• User ID: Inform the user that will be used in the connection for authentication.

5 - Test the connection to check that all parameters have been filled in correctly.

You will be asked to enter the password for connection.

6 - Click OK to complete this process.

Creating a connection to Scriptcase

See below how to create a connection in your Scriptcase project, using the enabled Driver and the Oracle database.

1 - Access a project from your Scriptcase.

2 - Click the New Connection icon to create a connection

or access the Database > New connection menu.

After that, a screen will appear with all database connections.

3 - Select the Amazon RDS connection.

4 - And choose the Amazon RDS Oracle database.

Connection

Enter the parameters for connecting to your Amazon RDS Oracle database as follows:

• Connection name: Define the name of your new connection. By default, Scriptcase adds the prefix conn along with the database name.

• DBMS Driver: Select the Oracle Driver to connect. In this example, we use the Oracle ODBC Driver.

• Database Name: Inform the Data Source Name configured.
  • EX: oracle
• Scheme: Inform the Scheme of specific tables created for the use of the informed user.
  • This item is optional if you do not have a schema configured in your database.
    
    
• Username: Inform the user to authenticate the connection to your Oracle database.
  • For Oracle connections, the user must be capitalized, as in the example.
    

• Password: Enter the password to complete the authentication process.

• Test connection: Click this button to get a response to the Scriptcase request to find out if the parameters entered are correct.
