Setting inbound restrictions

Edit online

In a target environment, you can prevent the distribution and deployment of packages that come from restricted source environments. To accept packages that come only from an authorized source environment, set restrictions on all other environments.

Before you begin

Obtain the host names, database names, and database schema names of the restricted source environments from a system administrator.

About this task

For a database distribution, the application checks the target for any restrictions before distribution. If a restriction is found, the database is not distributed to the target. For a file distribution, restrictions are checked when a package file is selected for deployment.

Procedure

  1. In a target environment, start the Migration Manager application and click Select Action > Set Inbound Restrictions.
  2. In the Set Inbound Restrictions window, click New Row.
  3. In the Database Host field, specify the host name of the computer where the database is running. For example, if the fully qualified host name is xyz.usa.example.com, type xyz in the field.
  4. In the Database Name field, specify the database instance or the database identifier on the server where the database is running.
    For databases that use names longer than eight characters, such as Oracle databases, the first eight characters of the name must be unique so that inbound restrictions for different source environments are applied correctly.
  5. In the Database Schema field, specify the database schema in the database instance on the computer where the database is running.
  6. Click OK.
