2 Administering Oracle Spatial Studio

Administering Oracle Spatial Studio involves certain actions that must be performed before non-administrative users can work with spatial data.

If you are an administrative user of Spatial Studio, you must:

• Download the Oracle Spatial Studio application from Oracle Technical Resources (formerly called Oracle Technology Network) and install it.
• Set up a database schema to be the Spatial Studio schema, that is, to hold metadata for Spatial Studio.

  The Spatial Studio schema can be either an existing database schema in which Spatial Studio metadata will be added, or a newly created schema that will be used only for Spatial Studio.

• Configure the newly installed Spatial Studio application.

  When the installation and configuration actions are completed, users can connect to the database, start Spatial Studio, and use its features.

Note:

The Spatial Studio application can be downloaded in either of the following formats:

• Quick Start: A ready-to-run standalone application packaged in a zip file containing what you need to launch the Spatial Studio web application on your desktop. (Java JDK 11 (64-bit) or later required)

  Quick Start is well suited for personal and development use.

• If multiple end users will access the same Spatial Studio web application, use one of the following recommended installation and deployment methods:
  • A WLS-optimized EAR (Enterprise Application aRchive) file. This .ear file can be deployed to an existing WebLogic Server 15c (15.x) domain administered by an organization's WLS or middleware administrator.
  • A WAR file for deployment to Apache Tomcat 11.x.

A given person or database user can be both an administrative user and a non-administrative user, or can be only an administrative user or a non-administrative user.
