Preparing to Configure the Oracle Billing Insight Database

Before running the Oracle Billing Insight database installation Ant script, you must complete the following steps.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Configuring the Oracle Billing Insight Database.

To prepare to install the Oracle Billing Insight database

1. Make sure you have met the minimum system requirements.

   For details on system requirements, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

2. Confirm that you have sufficient space on your Oracle Billing Insight database server. For updated disk space requirements, see 1358365.1 (Article ID) on My Oracle Support.

   CAUTION:  Insufficient disk space can cause the Oracle Billing Insight database configuration to fail.

3. Upgrade your Oracle database server software as necessary. For distributed environments, make sure you have the required database client software installed on your application server and any other client computers of your Oracle Billing Insight database server.
4. Plan passwords with your system administrator, and have a sys account password available.

Using Database Clustering

Note that your application server handles database clustering, not Oracle Billing Insight. For help with clustered installations, contact your Oracle sales representative to request assistance from Oracle's Professional Services.
