Running the Configuration Wizard

You must launch and run the Configuration Wizard to configure IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot for Oracle. Navigate through each of the panels to configure the product or to reconfigure the profile in your Oracle environment. The Configuration Wizard is used to configure all Oracle instances, both multi-database environment and single user instances.

Before you begin

Tip: Use the Configuration Wizard to create as many CLIENT or CLONING sections that you need for your Oracle environment.
