About Database Support in Oracle BI Scheduler


Oracle BI Scheduler uses a single commercial back-end database to store pertinent information about a job, its instances, and its parameters. Oracle BI Scheduler works with all supported databases for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition. For information about supported databases, see Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition System Requirements and Supported Platforms.

The Scheduler service starts only if the back-end database satisfies the following conditions:

Back-End Database Requirement
Notes

Configured

There is a one-to-one relationship between the back-end database and Oracle BI Scheduler. Do not configure multiple Scheduler applications to use a single back-end database.

Operational

For information about the specific back-end databases supported by Oracle BI Scheduler, see System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle Business Intelligence Applications.

Mixed Authentication Mode

For example, if the database is SQL Server, then the security mode should be set to allow both SQL Server and Windows Authentication for logon.

Do not use operating system authentication for the back-end database login. If you do, the Scheduler service may not start in some cases.
