3 Deploying True Cache on Oracle Base Database Service

You can deploy True Cache on Oracle Base Database Service to run True Cache on virtual machines (VMs) in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

The following process creates the True Cache node on Oracle Base Database Service and configures True Cache using Oracle DBCA with the password file in a configuration BLOB file.

For other True Cache configuration options, see Configuring True Cache.

  1. Provision a database system (DB system) to use as the True Cache node.

    For storage, select the Logical Volume Manager option.

    For details, see Overview of Creating a DB System.

  2. Open port 1521 between the primary database and the True Cache node.

    For details, see Overview of Connecting to a DB System.

  3. Delete the database that was created on the True Cache node in step 1.

    Run the following command as the oracle user on the True Cache node: 

    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -deleteDatabase -sourceDB true_cache_sid -forceArchiveLogDeletion - silent

    Example:

    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -deleteDatabase -sourceDB DBD -forceArchiveLogDeletion -silent

  4. Create True Cache.

    For details, see Creating True Cache with DBCA.

  5. Create the True Cache service.

    For details, see Configuring True Cache Database Application Services with DBCA.
