Well the domain field seems to be passing the database name to the launcher.

An improvement for the custom launcher would be able to define the parameters that it requries and when adding it to a template being able to match up the fields in the template to the parameters in the launcher.

The domain field is only if you are looking to launch the process as a specific identity (actually owning the Windows process). This is mostly for running tools or scripts as Service Accounts.

Glad you got it working! :-D

ah

hadn't realised there was a custom launcher.

I've built a SQl Plus launcher which works fine with anadditional field called Port.

$UserName/$Password@"(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = $Database)(PORT = $Port))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = $Database)))"

When I add the launcher to the Oracle template it offers me a field called domain (which doesn't exist in the Oracle template ) but I've mapped it to the database field and it all seems to work.

David,

You could use the Custom Launcher to configure TOAD to automatically launch.

Here is a KB article that walks through the steps for launching PuTTY with a custom port but should be similar for TOAD.
http://support.thycotic.com/KB/a198/how-can-i-run-putty-launcher-on-different-port-custom.aspx

Here is an example of passing in the arguments to TOAD (haven't test this...)

"C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad Beta\toad.exe" "OCIDLL=C:\Oracle\Ora8i\bin\oci.dll" -c scott/tiger@database

Please post back here if you try this out.

Thanks!

Hi

Are there any plans to add a launcher for Oracle such as Toad or SQL Developer?

thanks
