Linking dSources from an encrypted Oracle database

This topic describes the behavior of the Delphix Engine when linking to a dSource based on an encrypted Oracle database.

This topic does not apply to vPDBs.

Beginning with version 10gR2, Oracle supports the encryption of permanent tablespaces using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). You can link dSources from databases using TDE by following the basic procedure described in Linking an Oracle Data Source. However, in order to provision a VDB from a dSource that is linked to an encrypted database, you must copy wallet files from the physical database in the source environment to the target environment. See Provisioning a VDB from an Encrypted Oracle Database for more information.
