Since you are on Oracle I would suggest just creating a dbLink to the external Oracle. You can then create a View form thru the dbLink (although I prefer to create a local database view in the ARSYSTEM schema of the external database and then create my View Form off of that)
No Vendor plugin needed for a View form Fred From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jham36 Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2016 12:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Vendor Form to external Oracle Database ** ARS 9.1 windows 2008 oracle 11 External DB Oracle 11 I am trying to use ojdbc6.jar file from the oracle client installation to create a plugin to be used in a view form. I am trying to follow the limited instructions that BMC offers on how to do this, but everything is too generic. "create your plugin", "Add it to the Plugin Server Configuration", "Add anything else you need" That's not much help. I am sure someone has figured out how to do this. I would think a connection to an external oracle database would be fairly common. Common enough for BMC to provide better documentation. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? What needs to be provided when using the Plugin Server Config form? What user defined parameters are needed? What else is needed? Do I have to manually update pluginserver cong and ar.cfg?
