   show parameter service_name

2. In the result, the VALUE column displays the Oracle SID.
   
   

The ‘config.txt’ file contains the configuration details to connect to the database and execute the schema scripts of Canvas Technology framework. It is essential that you provide the correct DBA user ID and password in the ‘config.txt’ file to connect to the Oracle database. The Canvas schema scripts are executed on the connected database.

It is because, by default the ‘run.bat’ file executes the schema scripts of CT ModelHouse, Expert Studio, and Wizard Studio. However, you can specify which scripts to be executed in the APP_LIST parameter in the 'config.txt' file by removing the unwanted schemas:

APP_LIST=ctmodelhouse, ctstudio/Expert, ctstudio/Wizard

# Here, ctmodelhouse is the schema for the sample application, ModelHouse, that is packaged with Canvas Framework.
# ctstudio/Expert is the schema for Canvas Expert Studio (Canvas Studio).
# ctstudio/Wizard is the schema for Canvas Wizard Studio.

4. Enter the schema username and password in the Username and Password fields respectively. For example, for Model schema, enter MODEL / MODEL (These values must be similar to the values given in the ‘config.txt’ file)
5. Ensure the correct Hostname, Port, and SID are given in the respective fields.
6. Click Test. If the credentials are correct the connection to the schema will be successful.
