Register Repositories

Prerequisites

• A database exists that can be registered as a repository
• ALTR sidecar is installed. Contact ALTR Support to get started

In ALTR, register each repository by providing a name for the repository and defining the hostname and port that sidecars can connect to the underlying database.

To register the database as a repository:

1. Log into ALTR via Okta.
2. Select Data ConfigurationData Sources in the Navigation menu.
3. Click Add Data Source .
4. Locate the data source card and click Select .
5. Enter a Repository Name to identify the repository in ALTR’s control plane. The repository name must be unique, use only lowercase letters and contain no spaces.
6. Enter the Hostname . The hostname must be in RFC 1123 format, which is a URL without http:// . Example: 123.dbhost.com
7. Enter the Port number of its configured listening port. This port is leveraged when ALTR’s sidecar connects to the repository. Example: 1521
8. Click Save .

Remove Repositories
