Review Database Requirements and Recommendations
A TMS database can be installed on Windows, UNIX, Solaris, or Itanium. You must install the TMS Database Server (always on Windows on the Application Tier where TMS Front End will be installed) before installing a TMS database.
Before you install the TMS database component, review the following requirements and recommendations for each TMS database you plan to install.
- Start with a New Database Instance
- Accept Connections as a Service
- Check Required Tablespaces
- Use the Database Configuration Assistant
- Select Required Components
- Use Automatic Memory Management
- Set Initialization Parameters
Parent topic: Creating a TMS Database
Start with a New Database Instance
Oracle recommends that you set up a new database instance so that neither TMS nor its installation process interferes with other applications. However, you can install TMS on an existing database instance.

Accept Connections as a Service
Choose to configure the database to accept connections as a service instead of a SID. Service name requirements for Oracle Thesaurus Management System include:
-
The service name must be less than 15 characters long.
-
It must not include the domain.
-
It must be all lowercase.

Check Required Tablespaces
Table 4-1 lists the tablespaces, along with their minimum size, required for TMS. Make sure the database contains these tablespaces. The best practice is to create them with the Autoextend On option, to avoid running out of space.
In addition, you may need to increase the minimum sizes for your installation.
Table 4-1 Required Tablespaces and Sizes
Tablespace | Minimum Size |
---|---|
SYSTEM |
900 MB |
TEMP |
100 MB |
UNDOTBS1 |
700 MB |
USERS |
500 MB |
SYSAUX |
600 MB |
