Database server support

Oracle® database server is no longer supported to host the Alfabet database.

Fields removed from the server alias configuration:

• Database Settings > Details tab:
  • Database Driver
  • Database Driver Type
  • Database Host
  • Database Port
  • Database Service Name
  • Direct Connection

Fields added to the server alias configuration: Database Settings > Details Database Access

For database servers not supporting a restricted mode, set this attribute to State . For all other databases it should be set to Restricted . The restricted mode is used during database maintenance activities like update of the meta-model or restore of a database from an ADBZ or ADB7 file to prevent any other activity on the database. If the database server does not support a restricted mode, a status information is set in the Alfabet database during database maintenance activities to inhibit access by other Alfabet components.
