From the NCS, obtain the following information:

• NCS ID, NCS server IP, MOS version, and MOS ID.

To use the Oracle database as a backend, obtain the following information:

• Oracle System Identifier (SID), username, password, and UTF-8 character encoding.

To use the Pilot Data Server as a backend, obtain the following information:

• Base URL and the port number for the Pilot Data Server: http://hostname:8177

If the Gateway is installed on another host than the Oracle database, the hostname of the database must be used in addition to the SID (<hostname>/<SID>). To test the database connection, try typing tnsping hostname/SID on the command-line.

Port numbers used in screen-shots in this document are standard port numbers used in the MOS Protocol. Other port numbers may be used.
