  • Backup Path (text box editor type) (type: string): the path where the backup file will be created. The path can be manually written or selected by clicking the  button.
  • BackupName (text box editor type) (type: string): the name of the backup file that will be created. Should be a .dmp extension file (E.G. XE.dmp, where XE is the name of the current database).
  • exp.exe Path (text box editor type) (type: string): the the path of exp.exe (the Oracle export utility), or select it with the File Browser. By default, exp.exe is located in C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin\ folder, where C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\ is also the value for the ORACLE_HOME environment variable.
  • Password (password editor type) (type: string): the password for the provided username. The password should be the same as the one given for the Connect to OracleSQL activity. The Backup Database activity creates a connection string based on the user provided at the connection activity and the password provided in the backup activity.
  • Password Binding (text box editor type) (type: string): bind to a variable containing the encrypted password for the Oracle server. (This parameter is used only when the user wants to send an encrypted password from outside the workflow, for example Flowster Portal).
  • SID (text box editor type) (type: string): the Oracle SID (Oracle System Identifier, which is used to distinguish Oracle database instances). By default it will be set to XE, which is also the Oracle's default database name.
