Preparing to Configure the Oracle Self-Service E-Billing Database

Before running the Oracle Self-Service E-Billing database installation Ant script, you must complete the following steps.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring the Oracle Self-Service E-Billing Database.

To prepare to install the Oracle Self-Service E-Billing database

1. Make sure you have met the minimum system requirements.

   For details on system requirements, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

2. Confirm that you have sufficient space on your Oracle Self-Service E-Billing database server. For updated disk space requirements, see 1358365.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

   CAUTION:  Insufficient disk space can cause the Oracle Self-Service E-Billing database configuration to fail.

3. Upgrade your Oracle database server software as necessary. For distributed environments, make sure you have the required database client software installed on your application server and any other client computers of your Oracle Self-Service E-Billing database server.
4. Plan passwords with your system administrator, and have syspwd available.

Using Database Clustering

Note that your application server handles database clustering, not Oracle Self-Service E-Billing. For help with clustered installations, contact your Oracle sales representative to request assistance from Oracle's Professional Services.
