Post-Installation Tasks

The following sections describe tasks you can perform after you install BDD, such as verifying your installation and increasing Linux file descriptors.

Verifying your installation
Once the installer completes, you can verify that each of the major BDD components were installed properly and are running.
Navigating the BDD directory structure
Your BDD installation consists of two main directories: $BDD_HOME and $DOMAIN_HOME.
Configuring load balancing
Studio and the Transform Service require load balancing when installed on multiple nodes.
Updating the DP CLI whitelist and blacklist
In order to create data sets from existing Hive tables, you must update the DP CLI white- and blacklists that define which tables are processed by Data Processing.
Signing in to Studio as an administrator
After you complete the BDD installation and deployment, you can sign in to Studio as an administrator, begin to create new users, explore data sets, re-configure Studio settings as necessary, and so on.
Backing up your cluster
Oracle recommends that you back up your BDD cluster immediately after deployment.
Replacing certificates
Enabling SSL for Studio activates WebLogic Server's default Demo Identity and Demo Trust Keystores. As their names suggest, these keystores are untrusted and meant for demo purposes only. After deployment, you should replace them with your own certificates.
Increasing Linux file descriptors
You should increase the number of file descriptors from the 1024 default.
Customizing the WebLogic JVM heap size
You can change the default JVM heap size to fit the needs of your deployment.
Configuring Studio database caching
All Studio instances are automatically configured to use synchronized database caching, so that information cached on one instance is available to the others.
