3 Plans

This chapter describes plans, their purpose, and why and how you use them. If you are installing a store for the first time, you can skip to the next chapter Configuring the KVStore.

You use plans to configure your Oracle NoSQL Database. A plan consists of multiple administrative operations. Plans can modify the state managed by the Admin service, and issue requests to kvstore components such as Storage Nodes and Replication Nodes. Some plans consist of simple state-changing operations, while others perform a set of tasks that affect every node in the store over time. For example, you use a plan to create a zone or Storage Node, or to reconfigure parameters on a Replication Node.
