Creating and configuring an Oracle database for recording data

To record data to an Oracle database, create the database tables and configure an ODBC definition. Configure your integration node so that it can connect to the database.

1. Use the script that is provided with IBM® Integration Bus to create and configure the Oracle database tables in the default table space, which is where your recorded data will be stored. Note that the script creates some tables that are not currently used, and are reserved for future use, such as WMB_EVENT_FIELDS and WMB_EVENT_TYPES.
   1. Locate the script for your operating system:
      • Windows: install_dir\server\ddl\oracle\DataCaptureSchema.sql
      • Linux® or UNIX: install_dir/server/ddl/oracle/DataCaptureSchema.sql

      install_dir is the location of your IBM Integration Bus installation.
   2. On Oracle, enter the following command to run the script:

      sqlplus user/password @DataCaptureSchema.sql

2. Create an ODBC definition for the database.

   If you used the supplied script to create your database without modifications, create an ODBC definition for the database called MBRECORD, with MBRECORD as the data source name (DSN). For more information, see Enabling ODBC connections to the databases.

3. Use the mqsisetdbparms command to set a user identifier and password for the integration node to use when connecting to the database; for example:

   mqsisetdbparms integrationNodeName -n dataSourceName -u userID -p password

   • integrationNodeName is the name of your integration node
   • dataSourceName identifies the database to which you want to record data
   • userID and password specify the user identifier and the password that the integration node uses to connect to the database
4. To ensure that the changes to the mqsisetdbparms command take effect, restart the integration node.
   For more information, see Starting and stopping an integration node.
5. Test the connection to your database by using the mqsicvp command.
   For more information, see mqsicvp command.
