Exploring the Oracle Repository's taxonomy
The Repository installation is straightforward (three simple steps). The installation instruc-
tions are easily found on the Oracle site. Nevertheless, we should mention a few things
here. First, it's DB based, which is a positive feature because we want to change from the
initial file-based design (although MDS can also be DB-based); however, this also means
that close DBA attention will be necessary for this critical component (RMAN, RAC plan-
ning, and so on). You will create three tablespaces for data, indexes, and CLOB; please
place them wisely. The application is a JAR file and will be deployed on your WLS, so the
app server is the second prerequisite for the actual installation. Of course, OER can be in-
stalled not just on WLS (please see the complete list in the installation guide). Actually, the
same is valid for DB as well. During the installation, please give special attention to the
correctness of the value you put in the
Fully qualified server name
field (in local test
mode, it's just a localhost). A typical
.jar
installation has a script screen identical to that
in the following figure.
By the way, if something went wrong and you had to restart the installation, please do not
forget to recreate the tablespaces (the installation will not continue with the tables in place)
and purge the OER instance from the
Oracle_Home
inventory. It would be logical to cre-
ate a new WSL domain (
oer_domain
) separated from
soa_
and
osb_
. Do not forget to
add an admin server with the console as a feature. Start it in the regular fashion (first is the
Node Manager and then WLS, followed by the WLS console,
start oer_server1
)
and log in to
http://<localhost>:7101/oer/
using the default credentials. We
will not tell you which ones.
At the time of writing this, it was admin/admin. Yes, have fun with Oracle password con-
sistency. You will be prompted to change the password anyway. For further references,
