Re: [otrs] Back end customers from a read-only Oracle?

We're currently using MySQL for our internal database with OTRS.

However we have an existing Oracle database which contains our customers.

Is it possible to pull customer data from a read-only Oracle table? For example a customer calls in, gives us their CustomerID.  Our agents then enter that CustomerID into OTRS, and using our Oracle tables, it can pull the name and email address?

we have this setup and it works. On 18.03.10 14:37, Shane Presley wrote:

As a followup, I found section 12.1.1 in the manual, about external databases. I was just wondering if anyone had any more specific examples about Oracle. Do we need to install the Oracle client on the OTRS server?

for accessing oracle DB, you need oracle libraries, afaik. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
