Database server
- TNSNAMES entry for the database.
- Service name and SID for the database.
Note: In Oracle database 12c, the service name might be for a pluggable 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.
Note: Oracle recommends using the UTC time zone for both servers.
- 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/<sid>/'
For installations, be prepared to provide passwords for the Empirica Signal and empirica_admin database accounts that will be created in these steps. If you are installing Topics, also be prepared to provide a password for the topic_workflow database account that will be created.
For an upgrade from 8.1.1 to 8.1.1.1, be prepared to provide the passwords for the sys account and the existing Empirica Signal database account.
