Configuring for an Oracle database

About this task

Actions taken on HCL Workload Automation engine:

For Oracle, the IT administrator, or the HCL Workload Automation IT administrator, or both working together, do the following:

Use the TWS Oracle user specified during the master domain manager installation or perform the following steps to create a new user:
1. Create a database user authorized to access the database and specify a password.
2. Launch the following script:
```
<TWA_home>/TWS/dbtools/Oracle/scripts/dbgrant.bat/.sh 
	<ID_of_user_to_be_granted> 
	<database_name> 
	<database_admin_user> <password>
```
  where the variables are as follows:
  
  <TWA_home>
  
  The HCL Workload Automation instance directory
  
  <ID_of_user_to_be_granted>
  
  The ID of the user created in step 1.a, who is going to be granted the access to the reports
  
  <database_name>
  
  The name of the database, as created when the master domain manager was installed
  
  <database_schema_owner> <password>
  
  The user ID and password of the database schema owner.
Define a valid connection string to the database:
1. Browse to the following path:
  
  On Windows operating systems
  
  <TWA_home>\usr\servers\engineServer\resources\properties
  
  On UNIX operating systems
  
  <TWA_DATA_DIR>/usr/servers/engineServer/resources/properties
2. Ensure that the following property is set in the TWSConfig.properties file to point to the Oracle JDBC URL:
```
com.ibm.tws.webui.oracleJdbcURL
```
  For example:
```
com.ibm.tws.webui.oracleJdbcURL=
                    jdbc:oracle:thin:@//9.132.235.7:1521/orcl 
```
  The Oracle JDBC URL is also to be specified in the PARAM_DataSourceUrl property in the .\config\common.properties file. The common.properties file is required when setting up for command line reporting.
