Configuring remote database connection

Set up a connection to the Fleet Tracker database from a computer that does not have the solution installed. This setup is required when using a tool to create reports, such as the PENTAHO® software Pentaho Report Designer.

1. During the Oracle database installation, depending on your configuration, set the Global Database Name and SID to orcl or xe.

2. During the Fleet Tracker installation, depending on your configuration, from the Oracle database connection settings, in the Database URL field, type either of the following:

   • IP:1521/orcl

   • IP:1521/xe

   Where IP is the IP address of the database server and 1521 is the listening port of the Oracle database.
