Oracle Database Requirements

Specifies Oracle Database requirements for Oracle Utilities Data Model installation.

Oracle Utilities Data Model installation requires one of the following Oracle Database releases:

  • Oracle Database 12c Release 2 Enterprise Edition (12.2)

  • Oracle Database 12c Release 1 Enterprise Edition (12.1.0.2)

  • Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition (11.2.0.4)

    Note:

    For Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.4) on Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) with ASM storage option, Oracle Utilities Data Model install may fail with ORA-37162: OLAP error. To prevent this, perform the following steps before Oracle Utilities Data Model install on 11.2.0.4 on RAC with ASM storage option:

    1. Execute the following SQL on all nodes of RAC:

      ALTER system SET "_olap_parallel_update_server_num"=4 COMMENT='Sets OLAP Parallel Update Slaves per Session.' SID='*' SCOPE=spfile;
      
    2. Apply patch 25027309 containing OLAP E PATCH.

Tip:

When you install the Database ensure that the database character set is Unicode (AL32UTF8) to support multi-language installations since Oracle Utilities Data Model permits the installation of support for English and one other language.

Installation of the Oracle Utilities Data Model component requires the following options to the Database:

  • Oracle Partitioning

  • Oracle Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)

  • Oracle Advanced Analytics

After you download and install the Database, upgrade to the latest patch. Patches are available from support (My Oracle Support).
