Set up Oracle InForm customer-defined databases

  1. Export the customer-defined database.
  2. Copy the DMP file to the Oracle InForm database server and import it into the customer-defined database.
  3. To set up the customer-defined databases using the NoSchema option, use the following command and syntax: pfadmin setup CDD <RefName> <studyname> /db <oracle_connect_string> <DSN> [NoSchema] where:
    • RefName—RefName of the CDD
    • studyname—Name of the study you are defining
    • oracle_connect_string—String that the InForm server uses to connect to the Oracle Instance for the study
    • DSN—Data Source Name of the CDD
    • [NoSchema]—Indicates that no new CDD schema should be created during setup
    You are prompted for the following values:
    • uid— Owner of the study database schema
    • pid— Password for the owner of the study database schema

    You can also pass the parameters by using the /accountparams:"path_to_parameter_file" command option.

    When specified, this option includes the path to a text file that contains the values required to run the command. The format of the parameter file is parameter=value. There is a new line for each parameter, and there are no spaces on a line.

  4. Set the locale to use for the unit symbol translation stored in the CDD unit symbol column: pfadmin config cdd <studyname> <study_dsn> <study_locale>
  5. Make the CDD functionality transactional: pfadmin config cdd <studyname> <study_dsn> active
  6. Enable the CDD functionality: pfadmin config cdd <studyname> enable
