This wizard is launched when a new Oracle Database classification is added to a Policy.

The Oracle Database classification is used to define which databases are to be protected.

Note: When used in combination with a storage hardware backup operation, Protector will discover the underlying hardware paths at runtime. For Hitachi Block storage hardware based backups, all the paths must exist on the same block hardware device.
