The following instructions describe how to register an Oracle Metadata Services (MDS) repository so you can deploy customizable applications that use the repository:

  1. Decide whether you need a file-based or database-based MDS Repository.

    In general, file-based repositories are used in the development environment and database-based repositories are used in your production environment.

  2. Create and register the file-based MDS repository. How?

    OR

    Create and register a database-based MDS repository:

    1. Use the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the MDS schema in the database. More

    2. Register the MDS repository with Fusion Middleware Control. How?

      Note: You must register the MDS repository with the Oracle WebLogic Server domain before you can deploy an application that uses this MDS repository.
