Installing and Readying Your Database Server

Preparing DB2

Prior to running the Oracle Identity Analytics installer, a blank database named rbacx and a user named rbacxsvc need to be created.

Note - If it is necessary to use a database name other than rbacx and a user name other than rbacxservice, open the schema creation script and replace all instances of the default database name and default user name with the names that you will be using instead. See Chapter 3, Installing Oracle Identity Analytics for more information.

To Create a Oracle Identity Analytics Database and Database User Account on DB2

Before You Begin - To create the database, you should have either sysadm or sysctrl privileges. Your DB2 database server should be installed and started.

1. Create the rbacxservice user on the target system as follows:

   Windows:

   Log in to the target system as an administrator, and type the following at a command prompt:

   C:\>net user rbacxservice rbacxservice /add

   UNIX:

   Log in to the target system as root or super user and type:

   # useradd rbacxservice

   # passwd rbacxservice

   When prompted, type rbacxservice as the password.

Preparing MySQL, MS SQL Server, and Oracle Database Server

Oracle Identity Analytics 11gR1 is preconfigured to use MySQL and MS SQL Server. No further steps are required to prepare MySQL or MS SQL Server for use with Oracle Identity Analytics.

For Oracle Database Server you may need to copy the JDBC driver JAR file (ojdbc5.jar or ojdbc6.jar, depending on which JDK you are using) into the appropriate location (WEB-INF/lib or your application server's global lib directory). See the next chapter for more information.
