Executables Used by the Delphix Connector in Windows Environments (KBA9344)
KBA
KBA# 9344
Introduction
This document lists utilities that may be called by the Delphix Connector during Windows Environment and SQL Server dSource/VDB operations.
It may be useful to use this document in conjunction with Delphix Environment Hosts and Anti-Virus / Endpoint Security Software (KBA8490) and the Microsoft document How to choose antivirus software to run on computers that are running SQL Server, to validate whether anti-virus or endpoint protection (and any relevant exceptions/exclusions) is appropriate for your Target Environments.
