Configuring SUDO access

You may need to grant certain users authority to perform operations using sudo on the source database servers.

Note

Note: This topic is only applicable for Oracle migrations.

To configure sudo access for source database servers:

If the source database server is accessed through SSH, then configure sudo operations to run without prompting for a password for the database installed user and the root user.

For example, if database installed user is oracle, then run sudo su - oracle.

Note that the opc user is a standard Oracle cloud user that is used to access database servers, but you can use any privileged user that has sudo privileges.

For the root user run sudo su -.

Also, note that because the target database server is on the cloud only any sudo operations are configured already.
