Scripting the Studio Database

Run the database script as the Studio database user on the Studio database created above.

  1. Copy the <PT_HOME>\ptstudio\2.2\sql\MSSQLServer\cretbl.sql script from the Studio host machine to the Studio database host machine.
  2. To delete previous tables (if they exist) and create the tables required for the new portal components, run the <PT_HOME>\ptstudio\2.2\sql\MSSQLServer\cretbl.sql script.

Configuring an Oracle Database

This section describes how to create and configure the Oracle database for Studio. It describes the following basic steps:

  1. Set up your database environment. For details, see Setting Up Your Database Server Environment.
  2. Customize the database scripts provided by the Studio installer. For details, see Customizing the Oracle Database Scripts.
  3. Run the scripts to configure the Studio database. For details, see Creating and Configuring the Studio Database.

Setting Up Your Database Server Environment

You must use the same database vendor and version for your Studio database as you do for your portal database. For example, if your portal database runs on Oracle Server 9i, your Studio database must also run on Oracle Server 9i. Do not mix and match database types or versions within your system.

Before you create the Studio database:

Customizing the Oracle Database Scripts

The installation wizard installs database scripts for Oracle 9i databases in the following locations:

The database scripts for Oracle 10g databases are in the following locations:

Note: You should only customize and run the scripts needed for your installation. Check the Creating and Configuring the Studio Database section to determine if you are creating a new database or just the tablespace.

Customize the values specified in the scripts according to the following table.

Table 5-1 Database Scripts
File Name
Function
Change
CreateService.bat
(Windows only)
Creates an instance service for PTSTUDIO and sets the ORACLE_SID environment variable to ptstudio.
  • Replace the default password, welcome, for the sys user with a secure password.
  • Make sure the location of initplum.ora is correct. The default is
    C:\oracle\ora92\database\initptstudio.ora.

Note: You must manually copy this file to the correct location.
ShutdownPTStudio.bat
(Windows only)
Shuts down Studio.
  • Replace the default password, welcome, for the sys user with a secure password.
  • If necessary, change the SID.
create_studio_oracle.sql
Creates Studio schema and tablespaces.
  • If necessary, change the location of tmp1PTSTUDIO.dbf (the temporary tablespace) and data1PTSTUDIO.dbf (the Studio tablespaces).
  • If necessary, replace the default user, studioapp, with the user that will run the Studio database.
  • If necessary, replace the default password, studioapp, for the Studio database user with a secure password.
crdb1.sql
Creates the database.
  • If necessary, change the location of log1PTSTUDIO.dbf, log2PTSTUDIO.dbf, and log3PTSTUDIO.dbf (the log files) and systPTSTUDIO.dbf (the system tablespace files).
  • If necessary, change the SID.
crdb2.sql
Creates and configures the default Studio database tablespaces.
 
initptstudio.ora
Stores the database configuration settings
  • The Oracle DBA should review this script. The runtime settings default to a small database and need to be modified to fit your Studio system by a qualified Oracle DBA.
  • If necessary, change the SID.
RegisterSIDPTSTUDIO.reg
Registers the database
  • Replace the default password, welcome, for the sys user with a secure password.
  • If necessary, change the SID.
StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql

Creating and Configuring the Studio Database

This section describes how to create and configure an Oracle database for Studio. The topics in this section describe the following options:

You need to complete only one of these options to configure your Studio database.

Creating and Configuring the Studio Database on Windows

Complete the following steps:

  1. On the computer where the database resides:
    • Create the folder %ORACLE_HOME%\oradata\[ORACLE_SID],
      where [ORACLE_SID] is your SID, for example %ORACLE_HOME%\oradata\PTSTUDIO.
    • Create the folder %ORACLE_HOME%\ptstudioscripts.
    • Copy the Studio database scripts from the default Studio installation location into this folder. The default installation location is noted at the beginning of Customizing the Oracle Database Scripts.
  2. Copy initptstudio.ora from the ptstudioscripts folder to the database folder under %ORACLE_HOME%.
  3. From the ptstudioscripts folder, run RegisterSIDPTSTUDIO.reg to set PTSTUDIO as the default Oracle database in the registry.
  4. Run the CreateService.bat batch file from the ptstudioscripts folder to create an instance service for PTSTUDIO and to set the ORACLE_SID environment variable to PTSTUDIO.
  5. Use sql*plus to execute crdb1.sql within the script directory. This script creates the Studio database. Log in as the system user to execute this script.
    1. At the command prompt, type: sqlplus /nolog
    2. Type: connect system/<password> as sysdba. The default password is manager.
    3. Execute the script by typing: @crdb1.sql

      4. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full pathname. For example: @C:\oracle\ora9i\ptstudioscripts\crdb1.sql

      The output text appears. If the script finishes with “Statement processed with no errors,” then the crdb1.sql script succeeded. The output for this script can be found in 1-rdbms.lst.

  6. As the system user, execute crdb2.sql to create the required tablespaces and the Studio database user. Type: @crdb2.sql.

    7. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full path name. For example: @C:\oracle\ora9i\ptstudioscripts\crdb2.sql

    The output text appears. This script may take up to 40 minutes to complete. It is not as easy to determine if this script was successful. This is especially true since some errors are acceptable, such as “ORA-00942 table or view does not exist” or “ORA-1432/ORA-1434 public synonym to be dropped does not exist.” The output for this script can be found in 2rdbms.lst.

  7. Exit sql*plus.
  8. Log back in to sql*plus as the Studio user and execute StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql to create Studio schemas.
    1. At the command prompt, type:
      sqlplus <studio_user>/<password>@<SID>
    2. Type: @StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql.

      3. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full pathname. For example: @C:\oracle\ora9i\ptstudioscripts\
      StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql

  9. Exit sql*plus.
Creating and Configuring the Studio Database on UNIX and Linux

Complete the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Oracle Server computer as the owner of the Oracle system files.
  2. Create the folder $ORACLE_HOME/oradata/[ORACLE_SID],
    where [ORACLE_SID] is your SID, for example $ORACLE_HOME/oradata/PTSTUDIO.
  3. Create a .zip file called ptstudiosql.zip that includes all the SQL scripts in the appropriate installation directory. The installation location is noted at the beginning of Customizing the Oracle Database Scripts.
  4. FTP the ptstudiosql.zip file to the UNIX or Linux computer on which your database resides.
  5. On the UNIX or Linux computer on which the portal database resides:
    1. Log in as the Oracle user.
    2. Create the directory $ORACLE_HOME/ptstudioscripts.
    3. Unzip the ptstudiosql.zip file in the $ORACLE_HOME/ptstudioscripts directory.
  6. Make sure that the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables are set.

    7. In all the SQL script execution steps, replace ORACLE_SID with the SID or the TNS Alias (if it differs from the SID).

  7. From the ptstudioscripts folder, copy initptstudio.ora under the database directory (for example, to /opt/ora9i/database).
  8. Create an entry for the database PTSTUDIO in the /var/opt/oracle/oratab file. Add the following line to the end of the file: PTSTUDIO:$ORACLE_HOME:Y:
  9. Create an Oracle password file by executing the orapwd utility.
    1. Go to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory by typing the command:
      cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
    2. Then type: ./orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwPTSTUDIO
      password=<password>      , where <password> is the Oracle sysuser password.
  10. Use sql*plus to execute crdb1.sql within the script directory. This script creates the Studio database. Log in as the system user to execute this script.
    1. At the command prompt, type: sqlplus /nolog
    2. Type: connect system/<password> as sysdba. The default password is manager.
    3. Execute the script by typing: @crdb1.sql

      4. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full path name. For example: @/ora/ora9i/database/ptstudioscripts/crdb1.sql

      The output text appears. If the script finishes with “Statement processed with no errors,” then the crdb1.sql script succeeded. The output for this script can be found in 1-rdbms.lst.

  11. As the system user, execute crdb2.sql to create the required tablespaces and the Studio database user. Type: @crdb2.sql.

    12. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full pathname. For example: @/ora/ora9i/database/ptstudioscripts/crdb2.sql

    The output text appears. This script may take up to 40 minutes to complete. It is not as easy to determine if this script was successful. This is especially true since some errors are acceptable, such as “ORA-00942 table” or “view does not exist” or “ORA-1432/ORA-1434 public synonym to be dropped does not exist.” The output for this script can be found in 2rdbms.lst.

  12. Exit sql*plus.
  13. Log back in to sql*plus as the Studio user and execute StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql to create Studio schemas.
    1. At the command prompt, type:
      sqlplus <studio_user>/<password>@<SID>
    2. Type: @StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql.

      3. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full pathname. For example: @/ora/ora9i/database/ptstudioscripts/StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql

  14. Exit sql*plus.
  15. Configure the listener for this database and start the listener.
Creating a Studio Tablespace in an Existing Database on Windows

Complete the following steps:

  1. On the computer where the database resides create the folder %ORACLE_HOME%\ptstudioscripts. Copy the Studio database scripts from the default Studio installation location into the folder that you created in the previous step. The installation location is noted at the beginning of Customizing the Oracle Database Scripts.
  2. Use sql*plus to execute create_studio_oracle.sql within the script directory. This script creates the Studio database. Log in as the system user to execute this script.
    1. At the command prompt, type: sqlplus /nolog
    2. Type: connect system/<password> as sysdba. The default password is manager.
    3. Execute the script by typing: @create_studio_oracle.sql

      4. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full path name. For example: @C:\oracle\ora9i\ptstudioscripts\create_studio_oracle.sql

  3. Exit sql*plus.
  4. Log in to sql*plus as the Studio user and execute StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql to create Studio schemas.
    1. At the command prompt, type:
      sqlplus <studio_user>/<password>@<SID>
      SID is the database name.
    2. Type: @StudioServerCreateTables_oracle.sql.

      3. If you do not execute the script from the script directory, you must type the full path name. For example: @C:\oracle\ora9i\ptstudioscripts\
