1 Introduction to Oracle Airlines Data Model Installation

This chapter describes how to install Oracle Airlines Data Model and other components you use to create an Oracle Airlines Data Model data warehouse:

Types of Installations Provided for Oracle Airlines Data Model

Using the Oracle Universal Installer you can perform two types of Oracle Airlines Data Model installation:

  • Installation of the Oracle Airlines Data Model component, itself. You must install this component to create an Oracle Airlines Data Model data warehouse.

  • Installation of sample reports (and schemas) that you can use for ideas about how to design your own reports. Installing these samples is optional.

    Note:

    The reports and dashboards that are used in examples and delivered with Oracle Airlines Data Model are provided only for demonstration purposes. They are not supported by Oracle.

Different items are installed depending on whether you install the database objects, or the sample reports and schemas.

Airlines Data Model Installation

When you perform an Airlines Data Model installation, the Oracle Universal Installer installs the Oracle Airlines Data Model component without data. Specifically, the installer creates the following schema in the target database:

  • oadm_sys which is the main schema for Oracle Airlines Data Model. This schema contains all the relational, mining, and OLAP components of Oracle Airlines Data Model, including the Oracle Airlines Data Model data mining results tables.

See:

For detailed information about all created objects in the OADM_SYS schema, see the Oracle Airlines Data Model Reference.

There is no data in this schema. You need to populate data into the schema.

Sample Reports Installation

When you perform a Sample Reports installation of the Oracle Airlines Data Model, the installer creates the Oracle Airlines Data Model sample schema in the target database, and copies and configures all the sample reports to your Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition server. Specifically, the installer installs:

  • The following file that provides the data for the sample reports:

    • oadm_sample.dmp.zip which is a dump file of the schemas that contain the sample data for the relational and data mining components of Oracle Airlines Data Model.

      Tip:

      The default user name for the schema is oadm_sample.

  • The following files that define and create the sample reports:

    • oadm.rpd

    • oadmwebcat.zip
