Selecting a Method of Schema Creation
Use the Create Repository screen to select a method to create and load component schemas into the database.
-
If you have the necessary permissions and privileges to perform DBA activities on your database, select System Load and Product Load. This procedure assumes that you have SYSDBA privileges.
-
If you do not have the necessary permissions or privileges to perform DBA activities in the database, you must select Prepare Scripts for System Load on this screen. This option generates a SQL script that you can give to your database administrator. See About System Load and Product Load in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.
-
If the DBA has already run the SQL script for System Load, select Perform Product Load.
Providing Database Connection Details
On the Database Connection Details screen, provide the database connection details for the RCU to connect to your database.
If you are unsure of the service name for your database, you can obtain it from the SERVICE_NAMES
parameter in the initialization parameter file of the database. If the initialization parameter file does not contain the SERVICE_NAMES
parameter, then the service name is the same as the global database name, which is specified in the DB_NAME
and DB_DOMAIN
parameters.
To provide the database connection details:
For information about specifying connection credentials when connecting to an Oracle database, see Connection Credentials for Oracle Databases and Oracle Databases with Edition-Based Redefinition.
Specifying a Custom Prefix and Selecting Schemas
Use the Database Connection Details screen to specify a product database schema with a custom prefix.
The custom prefix logically groups these schemas together for use in this domain only; you must create a unique set of schemas for each domain as schema sharing across domains is not supported. See, Understanding Custom Prefixes and Planning Your Schema Creation in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.
To specify custom prefix with schema:
Specifying Schema Passwords
On the Schema Passwords screen, specify how you want to set the schema passwords on your database, then enter and confirm your passwords.
You must make a note of the passwords you set on this screen; you will need them later on during the domain creation process.
Specifying Custom Variables
On the Custom Variables screen, specify the custom variables for the Master and Work Repository.
For more information about the options on this screen, see Custom Variables in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.
Completing Schema Creation
Navigate through the remaining RCU screens to complete schema creation.
On the Map Tablespaces screen, the Encrypt Tablespace check box appears only if you enabled Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in the database (Oracle or Oracle EBR) when you start the RCU. Select the Encrypt Tablespace check box if you want to encrypt all new tablespaces that the RCU creates.
When you reach the Completion Summary screen, click Close to dismiss the RCU.
