Setting up an existing installation of Oracle database software

To prepare an existing Oracle database system for IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server, use scripts to create the metadata repository database and the associated staging area schema.

Before you begin

The database system must satisfy the following requirements:

  • It must be a supported version. See the system requirements at www.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/info-server/overview/requirements.html.
  • It must be located on a computer that is accessible by the computers where the services tier and engine tiers are installed.
  • For an Oracle 12c database, CDB is supported in InfoSphere Information Server release 11.5.0.2 and later versions. CDB is not supported in InfoSphere Information Server releases prior to 11.5.0.2.

Before you proceed, complete all tasks that are listed in Setting up the tier computers.

Refer to the Oracle database documentation for information on how to install your database.
