## Additional installation

[Installing the RapidiConnector](https://myrapidi.com/wiki/installing_the_rapidiconnector.md)

  

If you want to transfer data to/from Oracle Data Sources, you have to do the following:

- Install "Oracle Call Interface" on the computer (is part of the Oracle Client).
- In the Oracle System environment you have to create a connection in the usual way for each database you want to transfer data to/from. In other words, you have to "open" a passage so that your program will be able to locate the Oracle database.

## Configuration

The fields of the Oracle Data Source Card are described as follows:

- **Description: ** Fill in a descriptive text.
- **Server Connect:** Here you specify the name of the connection you created during the additional installation. If the Oracle database is a local database you leave this field blank; but you have to specify a UserID and a Password.
- **UserID:** If the database needs a UserID, you specify it here.
- **Password:** If the database needs a Password, you specify it here.
- **Schema:** If you want to use a certain schema you can specify which one here.
- **Installation Path: ** Specify the name of the directory Oracle is placed in (where the OCIW32.DLL file is). If left blank, it tries to use the PATH from the environment.
