Configuring SUDO access

You may need to grant certain users authority to perform operations using sudo on the source database servers.

Note

This topic is only applicable for Oracle migrations.

To configure sudo access for source database servers:

If the source database server is accessed through SSH, then configure sudo operations to run without prompting for a password for the database installed user and the root user.

For example, if database installed user is oracle, then run sudo su - oracle.

Note that the opc user is a standard Oracle cloud user that is used to access database servers, but you can use any privileged user that has sudo privileges.

For the root user run sudo su -.

Also, note that because the target database server is on the cloud only any sudo operations are configured already.
