Connecting PersonPB to a Database

Before you can work with PersonPB, you must establish a connection between PersonPB and your Oracle database. To connect to an Oracle database using OCI 7, start with step one. To connect to an Oracle database using OCI 8, start with step two.
  1. Launch the PersonPB V6 application for OCI 7 by clicking Start > Programs > Silk > Silk Performer <version number> > Sample Applications > Database Samples > PersonPB V6 - OCI7 Sample Application.
  2. Launch the PersonPB V7 application for OCI 8by clicking Start > Programs > Silk > Silk Performer <version number> > Sample Applications > Database Samples > PersonPB V7 - OCI8 Sample Application.
  3. On the Login dialog box, enter the connection string to access your Oracle database. A connection string is used to request a connection to a remote Oracle database. The SQL Net Easy Configuration tool, part of the Oracle client software, can be used to set up connection strings. For more information, refer to the documentation accompanying your Oracle software.
  4. Enter your user name and your password and click Login. The Customer OCI window displays.
