Reconfigure "user" for use with Spotlight

(Available when a new version of Spotlight on Oracle has been installed.)

Use this option if you want to connect to an Oracle database as a user that was set up within a previous version of Spotlight on Oracle.

Note: This option is available only if Spotlight detects that the current user has been configured using an earlier version of Spotlight on Oracle.

Note: You should not use any system accounts as your Spotlight user account. We recommend creating a separate user for Spotlight or using a personal account.

Note: (Oracle 12c) As per Oracle guidelines, the Spotlight Oracle user needs to be of the form “c##<username>” when connecting to an Oracle 12c Container database.
