Hello YusufKhan,

The only certified Database to use with DLP is Oracle. So if you change the database Symantec is not going to give you technical support.

I'm not a DBA, maybe and just maybe someone with a very deep knowledge of Oracle and other DB could be able to create or migrate the schama and point DLP to another server... Just maybe.... But.... Why do you want to change the DB to another vendor?

In regards of the second question the answer is no, you can not see that information from the Enforce console. However if you need to know or modify which database your Enforce is using as a workaround you may check the jdbc.properties file located on Vontu\protect\config\. Open the file and look for the jdbc.dbalias.oracle-thin line. There you find the SID, port, user nameand address/FQDN information.

I hope this information helps.

Cheers,

Chopper

HI,

Sorry for the confusion, I was not referring for pointing to db other than ORacle :-).

I wanted to know if its possible we can point it to another instance of Oracle db.This is in case I have replica of db (4 or 5 days old) on another place (machine) and if I want to connect it in case we need.

You just need to reinstall enforce server and enter new ip of database but dont check initialize db.

To change the database from one backend to another you change the last line in the JDBC.properties file. the format is as follows

jdbc.dbalias.oracle-thin=@(description=(address=(host=hostname)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=protect)))

Before you make this change you should stop all the services, scans, etc to ensure the database remains consistant. I would only change in an extreme situation such as a DB failure on the primary DB.
