Introduction
The wallet is a .zip file that contains credentials necessary to connect to the Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) instance associated with NetSuite Analytics Warehouse (NSAW). This blog post will guide you on how to use it effectively.
Downloading the Wallet
The wallet file is downloaded from the NSAW Console, under the Warehouse tile. The wallet.zip file will be downloaded to your local computer, ready for use.
Connecting to ADW in Oracle SQL Developer
The wallet file plays a crucial role in establishing a connection to the ADW instance in Oracle SQL Developer. Here are the steps:
- When creating a new connection in Oracle SQL Developer, set the connection type to "Cloud Wallet".
- Use the wallet.zip file as the Configuration File.
- The wallet file, along with the ADMIN user and the password set using Reset Credentials on the same screen in NSAW, are used to access ADW.
- When creating a new connection, select "Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse" as the connector type.
- Upload the wallet.zip file. The cwallet.sso file will be auto-populated from the wallet.
- Enter the admin password set using the Reset Credentials function in NSAW.
Connecting to ADW in OAC
To create a direct connection to the ADW instance from Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) within NSAW, the wallet.zip file is required. Follow these steps:
Security
The wallet file and the associated admin user/password provide access to the ADW instance, so it should be stored securely. It is important to share wallet files only with authorized users. If wallet files are transmitted in a way that might be accessed by unauthorized users, the wallet password should be transmitted separately and securely.
OAX_USER Connection
After the initial connection to the ADW with the wallet using the ADMIN user, it is necessary to set the password for the OAX_USER using the following SQL command: ALTER USER OAX_USER IDENTIFIED BY <new_password>. This will ensure that all tables will be created under the OAX_USER node and not under the ADMIN node when persisting the data into the data warehouse. The connection to the ADW in OAC can then be made using the OAX_USER credentials and the same wallet file.
