Oracle9i Warehouse Builder Configuration Guide Release 9.0.2 Part Number A95950-01 |
|
Before installing Warehouse Builder, you need to prepare your Oracle 8.1.7 or 9i database by setting the following configuration parameters.
The Warehouse Builder Repository database runs on standard Oracle8i/9i OLTP configuration parameters. To specify these parameters, modify the init.ora file in the directory [Drive:]\Oracle\admin\owbrepos\pfile\
.
Table A-1 lists the configuration parameters to use as an initial guide for improving performance.
To support the Warehouse Builder runtime component, you need to modify the Oracle8i/9i Enterprise Edition instance on the system where your data warehouse will reside. The Warehouse Builder Runtime Assistant creates a runtime schema with sufficient privileges to create materialized views and perform query rewrite.
In order for the materialized views to perform properly in the runtime, you must set the following initialization parameters for the Runtime Repository instance in its init.ora file, which is found in the directory [Drive:]\Oracle\admin\owbdw\pfile\
.
Note: Configure the Warehouse Builder Runtime instance to have at least one non-system rollback segment. Otherwise the seeded runtime packages will not compile. |
Table A-2 lists the initialization parameters.
To configure the Target Data File Path for Flat file Targets, you set this path in the init.ora file of the warehouse instance. Set the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter to the directory for the flat file targets so that the database has access to it.
For example, for the output file location D:\Data\FlatFiles\File1.dat, set the
UTL_FILE_DIR parameter in your init.ora to:
UTL_FILE_DIR = D:\Data\FlatFiles
For multiple valid file locations, such as both D:\Data\FlatFiles and
E:\OtherData, set the parameter in init.ora to:
UTL_FILE_DIR = D:\Data\FlatFiles
UTL_FILE_DIR = E:\OtherData
These lines must be consecutive in the init.ora file.
You can bypass this checking of directories by using the following:
UTL_FILE_DIR = *
Warehouse Builder Validation returns a warning that this parameter must be set in the init.ora file.
