   If you choose the Oracle Database option, you can either use the source/target database being used for data replication or a different database outside the replication. Configure the following options for Oracle database:

   • Username: The username of the database user.

   • Password: Password for the database user login.

   • Connection String: The URL used to connect to the database. This is the backend connection string. The connection string can use the data source in the format: host [:port]/service_name or a TNS_ALIAS.

     For example, localhost:1523/cdb1_pdb1.rdbms.oracle.com is an example of hostname, port number, and service name format.

   • Table Name: Database backend table name where the configuration files would be stored. The backend table might be in any schema. In this example, the Oracle GoldenGate Admin schema (ggadmin) is used.

     Example:

     ggadmin.ggs_backendtable.
