1 Introduction to Oracle Utilities Data Model Installation

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

Types of Installations Provided for Oracle Utilities Data Model

Specifies details for the Utilities Data Model installation type and the Sample Reports installation type.

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

  • Installation of the Oracle Utilities Data Model component, itself. You must install this component to create an Oracle Utilities 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 Utilities Data Model are provided only for demonstration purposes.

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

Utilities Data Model Installation

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

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

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, the installer creates the Oracle Utilities Data Model sample schema in the target database and you copy and configures all the sample reports to your Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Extended Edition server. Specifically, the installer installs:

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

    • oudm_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 Utilities Data Model.

      Tip:

      The default user name for the schema is oudm_sample.

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

    • oudm.rpd

    • oudmwebcat.zip
