Repository Database in Oracle

Data Source Solutions DSS allows you to create a repository database (schema) in Oracle. The repository database (schema) can be located inside an Oracle instance on the hub machine, or it can be located on another machine and connected using a TNS connection. The Repository Database section in Capabilities (6.1.0, 6.1.5) lists the supported Oracle versions that can be used as a repository database.
