Installing the database and configuring connections to AppScan® Enterprise Server
AppScan® Source requires an solidDB® database server that you have installed with the AppScan Source installation wizard - or an existing Oracle database server that has AppScan Source schema and data applied by the AppScan Source installation wizard. The database persists AppScan Source Security Knowledgebase data, assessment data, and application/project inventory - and your options for database server installation and configuration are outlined in this topic.
Install to an existing Oracle database
This task topic describes the procedure for installing the AppScan® Source Database schema and data to an existing Oracle database. In order to create the Oracle schema, the AppScan Source installer must be run on the same machine on which the Oracle database is installed - or on a machine where the full Oracle client is installed (the installer must be able to access the Oracle sqlplus and sqlldr utilities).
Oracle TNS Alias configuration
When configuring the connection to an Oracle database during AppScan® Source installation, you can use a TNS Alias instead of an Oracle Connection String. Doing this requires AppScan Enterprise Server configuration, as outlined in this topic.
