The Argus Insight Schema Creation Tool lets you create the Argus Insight data mart structure. It creates a link between source Argus database and new Argus Insight data mart. The Extract Transform and Load (ETL) process uses this link to transfer data from Argus Safety database to the Argus Insight data mart for reporting purposes.
During the schema creation process, you are required to create database users:
To login in to the Argus Insight application.
As schema owners.
To support private database links (DB Links).
This chapter includes the following topics:
Creating a Database Link from Argus Safety to Insight Database
Upgrading Database from Argus Insight 8.0 to Argus Insight 8.1
|
Note: The Argus Insight database must be created with the same character set as the Argus Safety database. Make sure you have installed the requisite software as explained in Section 1.2, "Software and Hardware Requirements". |
The GLOBAL_NAME and NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS database parameters must be configured properly in order for the Argus Insight Schema Creation Tool to run. You must check those settings before you run the Argus Insight Schema Creation Tool. If the parameters are not set properly, the Schema Creation Tool will fail.
To review and modify these database settings:
Contact your database administrator (DBA).
Verify that the database configuration file for the Argus Insight database defines the following database parameter values:
GLOBAL_NAME = FALSE
(This parameter must be set to FALSE for Argus Insight to be able to create the database links.)
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR
Restart the database instance to reflect the changes.
To create a DBA user:
If you want to use a different user than SYSTEM user to execute the Schema Creation Tool, then create a DBA user by executing the following .bat file:
ARGUS_INSIGHT_INSTALL_PATH/Database/Utils/ai_create_dba_user.bat
Besides creating the DBA user, this .bat file also provides minimum necessary privileges required for executing the Schema Creation Tool.
This section lists the required and recommended values for:
Database parameters
Database I/O configuration
RAM and CPU
Table 3-1 lists the database parameters and the values that must be set for Argus Insight.
For those parameters that require a numeric value, Table 3-1 lists the minimum value recommended. You may need to increase the value depending on your system configuration and the number of cases. It is the responsibility of the database administrator to monitor the system and adjust the database parameters as necessary.

The system checks that Argus Insight and Argus Safety use the same character set. How the system continues depends on the result:
Different Character Set — If the character set for the Argus Insight database (that is, the MART character set) is different from the character set for the Argus Safety database, the system displays a warning message and prompts for confirmation that you want to proceed.
Determine whether you want to continue with the schema creation.
If the Argus Safety database uses the UTF character set and the Argus Insight database uses the ISO character set, the ETL process may fail due to the different character sets. In this case, Oracle recommends that you click No, fix the character set issue, and restart the create schema process.
If the Argus Safety database uses the ISO character set and the Argus Insight database uses the UTF character set, then the system can proceed by ignoring the character set difference. In this case, you can click Yes.
Same Character Set — If the character set for the Argus Insight database is the same as the character set for the Argus Safety database, the following command prompt screen appears:
If you have remote access to the SYS user, enter the password for the SYS user, and press Enter.

Post-upgrade Steps
When you have upgraded the database from Argus Insight 8.0 to Argus Insight 8.1, you must:
Re-create the read-only user in the Argus Safety database using the steps given in Section 3.5.1, "Creating Users and Roles in the Argus Safety Database".
Re-create the database links.
Re-run the Initial ETL.
If Argus Insight and Argus Mart are running on the same database, execute the following:
Database\Utils\am_grants.bat
|
Note:
|
You can create a read-only schema in Argus Insight. This schema will have read-only (SELECT) access on all the tables and views of the APR_MART and APR_HIST schema. Besides, this read-only schema can also be used for customized reporting purpose.
To create Argus Insight Read-only user:
From the Utils folder, double click the AI_RO_USER.bat file.
Enter the following inputs:
Name of the Log file
Name of Argus Insight database
Password of the SYS user
Name of Argus Insight Mart schema user (for example, APR_MART)
Name of the History schema user (for example, APR_HIST)
Name of Argus Insight Read-only user that you want to create
Password of Argus Insight Read-only user
On successful connection to the SYS user, the script provides read-only access on objects of Argus Insight schema to the read-only user.
