    If the service is still active (up and running), use the following command to stop it:

    sudo systemctl stop agentodi.service

  2. Navigate to the following directory:

    $MW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin

  3. Start the Configuration Wizard by running the following command:

    ./config.sh

  4. In the Create Domain screen, select Create a new domain and specify $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/odisac_domain in the Domain Location field. Click Next.
  5. In the Templates screen, select Oracle Data Integrator – Standalone Collocated Agent [odi]. This will automatically select other options. Click Next.
  6. In the Administrator Account screen, provide the following information and click Next:
    1. Name: By default, weblogic is specified.
    2. Password: Specify a password for the weblogic user.

    3. Port: Port where the database where the repository is stored is running (1521).
    4. Schema Owner: Login owner of all ODI schemas. Leave the default as DEV_STB.
    5. Schema password: Password for ODI schemas provided in previous steps.
  9. Click Get RCU Configuration. This will verify the connectivity to the database.
  10. Once connectivity has been successfully verified, click Next.
  11. In the Component Datasources screen, click Next.
