Installing Oracle

You must install Oracle on the Content Manager OnDemand library server.

About this task

After you verify the installation of the Oracle software on the library server, you must configure it to work with Content Manager OnDemand.

To configure Oracle to work with Content Manager OnDemand:

Configure login processing to run under the UID of the root user.
Create the Content Manager OnDemand database using the Oracle utilities. The name that you specify for the database should match the value that you specify for the SRVR_INSTANCE parameter in the ARS.INI file.
Create the user ID of the Content Manager OnDemand instance owner in Oracle.
This user will own all tables that Content Manager OnDemand creates. If you want to have a default Oracle table space for the user, specify the table space when you create the user.
To create the Content Manager OnDemand user in Oracle:
```
     CREATE USER root IDENTIFIED BY password ;
     GRANT dba to root ;
```
Where root and password are the user ID and password stored in the stash file
Specify the base Oracle installation directory on the ARS_ORACLE_HOME parameter in the ARS.CFG file. The default value is /oracle.
Specify Oracle as the database manager on the ARS_DB_ENGINE parameter in the ARS.CFG file.
Optional: Create a table space for the Content Manager OnDemand system tables.
If you plan to store the system tables in their own table space, specify the name of the table space on the ARS_DB_TABLESPACE parameter in the ARS.CFG file.
