Creating the database for Oracle for the Dynamic Workload Console

Before you begin

Ensure the required tablespace for Dynamic Workload Console data has been already created on the Oracle database server which hosts the Dynamic Workload Console database.

About this task

This picture describes the steps required for installing the master domain manager. You are now at step 3: creating and populating the Dynamic Workload Console database

You can perform a typical database procedure, as described in the following scenarios, or you can customize the database parameters, as described in FAQ - Database customizations.

You can run the configureDb command specifying a typical set of parameters. In this case, default values are used for all remaining parameters.

For more information about all parameters and supported values of the configureDb command, see Database configuration - configureDB script.

Default values are stored in the configureDbOracledatabase_vendor.properties file, located in image_location. If you need to modify any of the default values, edit the configureDbOracledatabase_vendor.properties file, but do not modify the configureDbOracle.template file located in the same path.

To create and populate the Dynamic Workload Console database, perform the following steps:

Procedure

On the server where you plan to install the Dynamic Workload Console, extract the Dynamic Workload Console package to a directory of your choice.
Browse to the directory where you extracted the package.
Type the following command to populate the Dynamic Workload Console database with typical settings:
On Windows operating systems
```
cscript configureDb.vbs --rdbmstype ORACLE --dbname service_name 
-–dbuser db_user --dbpassword DB_password --dbhostname DB_hostname 
--dbadminuser DB_administrator --dbadminuserpw DB_administrator_password
--iwstsname USERS 
```
On UNIX operating systems
```
./configureDb.sh --rdbmstype ORACLE --dbname service_name 
-–dbuser db_user --dbpassword DB_password --dbhostname DB_hostname 
--dbadminuser DB_administrator --dbadminuserpw DB_administrator_password 
--iwstsname USERS
```
where:

--rdbmstype

The database vendor.
