3 Creating the dls User and Schema

This chapter describes how to create the dls user, install the R12 PIM Connector database schema, and associate the installed database schema with the dls user.

Note:

This chapter presents one EBS environment. Your EBS environment may be different so the computer responses will differ though the commands you execute do not.

Creating the dls User

The R12 PIM Connector API components are installed on the EBS using Oracle Database user account, dls. Create the dls user:

1. Log into your EBS database server as user, applmgr or the user installed the original EBS instance.

2. Ensure that your login user environment is sourced.

   Following is an example of how to source the applmgr environment file:

   . /d01/oracle/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/APPSVIS_system1.env

3. Check that the environment is set correctly:

   echo $TWO_TASK

   The return value should be the SID of the EBS database server.

4. Copy the dls_pim_connector_install.zip file that you extracted from the patch set to a temporary directory on your EBS database server.

5. Unzip dls_pim_connector_install.zip.

6. Change directories to the dls_pim_connector_install directory.

   For example, cd /tmp/dls_pim_connector_install

7. Create the R12 PIM Connector dls user in the EBS database server:

   sqlplus system/manager@VIS < dls_user_creation.sql

   Ensure that the dls user creation successfully completes and no errors are displayed.

Installing the Database Schema

The main installation script, dls_pim_connector_install.sh, installs tables, views, packages, etc. into the EBS dls database user. The necessary grants and privileges to the tables accessed by the Enterprise DQ for Product R12 PIM Connector are configured in the apps/apps schema.

• The installation script uses the existing Transaction tablespace and for the installation of the DLS tables in indexes such as the semantic key cache. This is consistent with current Oracle practice (see MetaLink note 248857.1 under the Product tablespaces link).

• The temporary tables used by the Enterprise DQ for Product will be written to the Interface tablespace (see MetaLink note 248857.1 under the Product tablespaces link).

• The installation script creates a new schema called dls that is granted quota on the Transaction and Interface table spaces.

1. While still logged into the EBS Server as applmgr and in the dls_pim_connector_install directory, change the file permissions of the R12 PIM Connector installation script:

   chmod +x *.sh

2. Install the database schema:

   ./dls_pim_connector_install.sh

   Note:

   You may have to change the file permissions to execute this script.

   Please enter Apps Schema Name for VIS:

3. Enter:

   apps

   Please enter Apps Password for VIS:

4. Enter:

   apps

   Please enter DLS Schema Name for VIS:

5. Enter:

   dls

   Please enter DLS Password for VIS:

6. Enter:

   dls

   The dls database schema has now been populated with the tables, views, packages, synonyms and triggers. The apps schema has also been populated with the grants and synonyms needed to run the Enterprise DQ for Product R12 PIM Connector.

   A log file is written to the tmp directory of the applmgr user.

7. Review the installation log file, dls_inst_####.log, and ensure that there were no errors.

   The following erroneous error message should be ignored:

   Warning: Package created with compilation errors.

   Errors for PACKAGE DLS_CONNECTOR_PVT:
