Configuring the database connection via the Basis tab is recommended for DB administrators. You cannot configure a failover cluster with these settings. Use the TNS tab for this, see Default connection configuration.

Server address

Enter the IP address or the host name of the database server.

Port

The DB server communicates via this port. Usually, you can keep the default port 1521. If a different port is required, you can enter this port here.

Service name/SID

The name of the Oracle service as it is configured in the Oracle server.

Use SID instead of service name

In some rare cases, the SID must be used. Refer to the Oracle documentation for the difference between SID and service name.
