VDB Groups

Overview

VDB Groups introduce a new functionality that allows users to organize and manage VDBs in a comprehensive listing page, accessible under the Data tab in DCT version 20.0.0 and above.

New in DCT 21.0.0

  • VDB Group configuration management (add/remove VDBs and manage the order of execution)
    DCT can add/remove VDBs to/from the group and arrange the order from which bulk operations (like refresh) will be applied. This is particularly crucial for data sources like Oracle EBS, where application files and the underlying Oracle database need to be refreshed in a specific order.  

  • VDB Group bookmark creation support
    DCT can create a bookmark across one or more VDBs contained in the group, to provide a human–readable reference point for that specific point in time.  

  • VDB Group refresh support
    DCT can refresh one or more VDBs contained in the group based on a specific bookmark reference or to the latest snapshot on each VDBs' respective parent (VDB or dSource).  

Creating a VDB Group

The creation of a VDB Group is facilitated through a three-step wizard:

  1. Configuration

    • Add identifying details for the VDB group, including Name and Tags.

Viewing and managing VDB Groups

Users can select the View button from the group list to open the details page of the selected VDB Group.
