Database server

You must collect information about the database server.

• TNSNAMES entry for the database.
• Service name and SID for the database.
• System and sys password for the database.
• Time zone setting of your database so you can set the Oracle WebLogic Server instance to the same time zone.
• The location of the data files for the instance, if you plan to create the tablespaces in the same location. For example: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/empcdb/signalpdb/'

For installations, be prepared to provide a password for the Oracle Empirica Signal database account that will be created in these steps. If you are installing Oracle Empirica Topics, also be prepared to provide a password for the topic_workflow database account that will be created.

Note:

The password must not contain a dollar sign symbol ($).

For upgrades, be prepared to provide the account name and passwords for the existing Oracle Empirica Signal database account and tablespace name used by the account. If you have Oracle Empirica Topics installed, also be prepared to provide the account name and password for the existing topic_workflow database account.
