You can configure an external event database using Oracle
Database on a Linux, UNIX, or Windows system.
Before you begin
Before you configure an Oracle event database, you must first
create the database. The Oracle SID must already exist before you
run the event database configuration command. The default SID for
the event database is
event.
About this task
To configure an Oracle event database:
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin tool.
- Use the AdminTask object to run the configEventServiceOracleDB administrative
command in batch or interactive mode. The minimum required
parameters of the configEventServiceOracleDB command are as
follows:
- createDB
- Indicates whether the administrative command should create and
run the database configuration scripts. Specify true or false.
If this parameter is set to false, the scripts are
created but are not run. You must then run the database configuration
scripts to complete the database configuration.
- nodeName
- The name of the node that contains the server where the event
service data source should be created. If you specify a node name,
you must also specify a server name. You must specify one of the following:
- Node name and server name
- Cluster name
- serverName
- The name of the server where the event service data source should
be created.
- clusterName
- The name of the cluster where the event service data source should
be created. If you specify a cluster name, do not specify node and
server names.
- jdbcClassPath
- The path to the JDBC driver. Specify only the path to the driver
file; do not specify the file name.
- oracleHome
- The ORACLE_HOME directory. This parameter is required only if
you specified true for the createDB parameter.
- dbPassword
- The password to use for the schema user ID created during the
database configuration (the default user ID is ceiuser.
This password is used to authenticate the Oracle database connection.
- sysUser
- The Oracle SYSUSER user ID. This user ID must have SYSDBA privileges.
- sysPassword
- The password for the specified SYSUSER user ID.
Other parameters might be required for your environment.
For a complete list of parameters and usage information, refer to
the help for the configEventServiceOracleDB administrative
command.
Results
The administrative command creates the required data source
at the specified scope; if you specified true for
the createDB parameter, the command also runs the generated database
configuration script to create the database.
The generated database
configuration scripts are stored by default in the profile_root/databases/event/node/server/dbscripts/oracle
directory. (In a Network Deployment environment, these scripts are
stored under the deployment manager profile directory.) If you specified
a value for the optional outputScriptDir parameter, the scripts are
stored in that location instead. You can use these scripts to manually
configure the event database at any time.
