# 3 Installation of Oracle Communications Data Model

This chapter describes how to install Oracle Communications Data Model:

- Pre-installation Tasks

- Installer Execution

- Silent Installation

- Post-Installation Tasks

## Pre-installation Tasks

Before you install the Oracle Communications Data Model, perform the following tasks:

- Back up the Oracle Database.

- Ensure that the software required for Oracle Communications Data Model is installed, as described in "Ensuring that Required Software is Installed".

- Set the maximum processes initialization parameter, as described in "Changing the Default Value for the Maximum Processes Initialization Parameter".

- Increase the maximum number of data files, as described in "Changing the Maximum Data Files Option".

- If you are using the Database Vault Option, disable the option, as described in"Disabling the Data Vault Option on the Database".

- If you are installing Oracle Communications Data Model on one of the AIX platforms listed in "Supported Platforms", change an Oracle Database parameter as described in "AIX Platform: Changing the Database Parameter".

- Ensure that the tnsnames.ora file includes a value for SERVICE_NAME, as described in "Ensuring That a Value is Set for the Service Name".

### Ensuring that Required Software is Installed

As discussed in "Software Requirements", you must have certain software installed before you can successfully install the Oracle Communications Data Model component or the Oracle Communications Data Model sample data and reports.

Take the following steps to ensure that for each type of installation, the required software is installed:

- Before you install Oracle Communications Data Model:

  - Confirm that the required Database options are installed by following the steps outlined in "Confirming that Oracle Data Mining and OLAP Options are Installed".

  - Confirm that Oracle Warehouse Builder is installed by following the steps outlined in "Confirming that the OWBSYS Schema Exists".

- Before you install the sample data and reports for Oracle Communications Data Model, confirm that Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is installed as described in "Confirming that Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is Installed".

#### Confirming that Oracle Data Mining and OLAP Options are Installed

To check that the Oracle Data Mining and OLAP options are installed, log in as SYS and enter the following SQL queries:

    SELECT VALUE FROM V$OPTION WHERE PARAMETER ='Data Mining';
    SELECT VALUE FROM V$OPTION WHERE PARAMETER ='OLAP';

If these queries return `TRUE`, the options are installed.

#### Confirming that the OWBSYS Schema Exists

To check that OWBSYS schema exists, log in to the Database as DBA and issue the following statements:

    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM DBA_USERS WHERE USERNAME='OWBSYS';

If this query returns a value larger than zero (0), OWBSYS schema exists.

If the OWBSYS schema does not exist, take the following steps:

1. Go to the `$ORACLE_HOME/owb/UnifiedRepos` directory.

2. Login to the Database as SYSDBA.

3. Execute the following SQL statement.

       @cat_owb.sql

4. When prompted to enter a tablespace name, input `USERS`

#### Confirming that Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is Installed

To test that Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is installed, open the following link in a browser. (Note that the 9704 value in the link is the value of the default Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition port; if you specified a different port when you installed Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition, use the value for that port.)

    http://hostname:9704/analytics

The sample Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition login window is displayed.

If Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is not installed, see "Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition".

### Changing the Default Value for the Maximum Processes Initialization Parameter

Oracle Communications Data Model requires that the initial value for the PROCESSES initialization parameter be set to a value greater than the default database installation value.

How to determine the current value for the PROCESSES parameter

To determine the current value for the maximum processes parameter, log in as DB with DBA account, and then execute the following SQL statement:

    show parameter processes;

How to change the value for the maximum processes

To change the value for the maximum processes, issue the following statements. Depending on your database options, the value specified for processes should be set to a minimum value greater than or equal to 250.

    alter system set processes=250 scope=spfile;
    shutdown immediate
    startup

### Changing the Maximum Data Files Option

Oracle Communications Data Model supports the partition of transaction-related fact tables according to your data volume estimation. You can specify the start year, end year and then the transaction related fact tables are partitioned by the date as one partition for each month.

In order to support the partition of transaction-related fact tables, you might need a different value for the maximum number of data files that is presently specified for the Database.

How to determine the value for maximum number of data files

Use the following formula to determine the value that you need for the maximum number of data files:

    Maximum Datafiles = Default Value + 300 + ((End year) - (Start year) + 1) * 12

How to determine the current value for the maximum number of data files

To determine the current value for the maximum number of data files, log in as DB with DBA account, and then execute the following SQL statement.

    show parameter db_files

In the results for this statement, the `value` column shows the current maximum number of data files.

How to change the value for the maximum number of data files

To change the value for the maximum number of data files, issue the following statements where `new_number` is the new value that you want to specify.

    alter system set db_files = new_number scope = spfile;
    shutdown immediate
    startup

### Disabling the Data Vault Option on the Database

The Oracle Communications Data Model installer requires additional steps on a Vault-enabled database. For an Oracle Database with the Vault option on, take the following steps to disable the Vault option before you install Oracle Communications Data Model.

To find out if the Oracle Database is Vault-enabled, do the following:

    SELECT * FROM V$OPTION WHERE PARAMETER = 'Oracle Database Vault';

If this command returns true, then the Vault option is enabled.

To disable the Vault option, do the following:

1. On Unix systems, ensure that the environment variables, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and PATH are correctly set.

2. Log in to SQL*Plus as user SYS with the SYSOPER privilege.

3. Shut down the Database.

4. From the command line, stop the Database Control console process and the listener. For example:

       sqlplus sys as sysoper
       Enter password: password
       SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
       SQL> EXIT
       $ emctl stop dbconsole
       $ lsnrctl stop listener_name

   For Oracle RAC installations, shut down each database instance as follows:

       $ srvctl stop database -d db_name

5. Disable the Oracle Database Vault option with the following commands (this is a UNIX system example):

       cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
       make -f ins_rdbms.mk dv_off
       cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
       relink all

   For Oracle RAC installations, run these commands on all nodes.

6. Startup the Database, Database Control console process, and listener. For example, on UNIX, Log in to SQL*Plus as user SYS with the SYSOPER privilege and restart the database. Then from the command line, restart the Database Control console process and listener. For example:

       sqlplus sys as sysoper
       Enter password: password
       SQL> STARTUP
       SQL> EXIT
       $ emctl start dbconsole
       $ lsnrctl start listener_name

   For Oracle RAC installations, restart each database instance as follows:

       $ srvctl start database -d db_name

Once you have installed Oracle Communications Data Model, you re-enable the Vault, as described in "Re-Enabling the Vault Option on the Database".

### AIX Platform: Changing the Database Parameter

If you are installing Oracle Communications Data Model on AIX, apply the following Oracle Database parameter change:

1. Login to the Database with DBA account.

2. Execute the following statement:

       alter system set "_olap_parallel_update_small_threshold"=2147483647 scope=spfile;

3. Restart the Database.

### Ensuring That a Value is Set for the Service Name

Ensure that in tnsname.ora, the service name is provided. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the directory: `$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin`.

2. Edit tnsnames.ora to make sure the "SERVICE_NAME" value is provided. For example:

       orcl11g =
       (DESCRIPTION =
       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server1.us.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
       (CONNECT_DATA =
       (SERVER = DEDICATED)
       (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
       )
       )

## Installer Execution

Before you install Oracle Communications Data Model, perform the necessary pre-installation tasks described in "Pre-installation Tasks".

Note:

You must install Oracle Communications Data Model on the "localhost" where the database server is located. You can determine the value of your "localhost" by issuing the following command where `db-name` is the name of your Oracle database.

    tnsname db-name

Follow these steps to install Oracle Communications Data Model:

1. Log in using the user id that you plan to use to run the installation. You should use the same user id to install Oracle Communications Data Model as used to install the Oracle Database and Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition.

2. Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to the location of the Database on which to install Oracle Communications Data Model.

   For example, suppose that Oracle Home is in the directory `/loc/app/oracle/product/11.2.4/`

   In a Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell, use these commands to set ORACLE_HOME:

       $ ORACLE_HOME=/loc/app/oracle/product/11.2.4/
       $ export ORACLE_HOME

   In a C shell, use this command to set ORACLE_HOME

       % setenv ORACLE_HOME /loc/app/oracle/product/11.2.4/

3. Start the installer from the directory that contains the Oracle Communications Data Model installation files:

       cd directory-containing-OCDM_installation-files
       ./runInstaller

4. The Welcome page is displayed. Click Next.

5. In the Select Installation Type page, select the type of Oracle Communications Data Model installation that you want to perform:

   - If you want to install the Oracle Communications Data Model component, select Communications Data Model. Making this selection performs the installation described in "Communications Data Model Installation".

   - If you want to install the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports and sample data, select Sample Reports. Making this selection performs the installation described in "Sample Reports Installation".

   - If you want to install the Oracle Communications Data Model Adapters, select Application Adapters. Making this selection performs the installation described in "Application Adapters Installation".

   - Enter the Password for SYSTEM user of the Oracle Database where Oracle Communications Data Model will be installed.

   Click Next.

9. The Specify Real Time Feed Information page shows in the Application Adapters install type. Use this page to choose whether you want to use a real-time feed with Oracle GoldenGate.

   If you select Yes, then you also need to specify the Oracle GoldenGate staging details.

   With Staging on Other selected, enter:

   - Source (Remote) Host Name: Specify the host name for the source machine where Oracle GoldenGate is installed. This is the remote host name.

   - Source (Remote) Port Number: Specify the port number of Oracle GoldenGate manager port (for the source machine), on which Oracle GoldenGate manager is configured and running. This is port number of the remote host.

   - Other (Remote) Host Name: Provide the host name for the target machine where Oracle GoldenGate is installed. This is a remote host name other than the system the where Oracle Communications Data Model is installed.

   - Other (Remote) Port Number: Provide the port number for the target machine where Oracle GoldenGate is installed. This is a remote port number on a system other than the system the where Oracle Communications Data Model is installed.

   With Staging on Target selected, enter:

   - Source (Remote) Host Name: Specify the host name for the source machine where Oracle GoldenGate is installed. This is the remote host name.

   - Source (Remote) Port Number: Specify the port number of Oracle GoldenGate manager port (for the source machine), on which Oracle GoldenGate manager is configured and running. This is port number of the remote host.

   - Target (Local) Host Name: This is the local host where Oracle Communications Data Model is being installed. The value is pre-populated and is a non-editable field.

   - Target (Local) Port Number: Provide the port number of Oracle GoldenGate manager port, on which Oracle GoldenGate manager is configured and running. This is the port number of the local host where Oracle GoldenGate manager is running and Oracle Communications Data Model is being installed.

   Click Next.

10. The Specify OCDM Schema Information page shows when you select to install the component, Communications Data Model. In this dialog specify where all of the data files that correspond to the Oracle Communications Data Model tablespace should reside:

    - If you do not want to use the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature in Oracle Database, but instead want to explicitly specify a folder name, select File System and enter a folder name. You can click Browse to navigate to any valid local data file path.

      Click Next.

    - If you have stored your Oracle database files using the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature, and you also want store Oracle Communications Data Model data files using ASM, select Automatic Storage Management (ASM).

      Click Next.

      In the Select ASM Disk Group page, select the disk group in which you want to install the Oracle Communications Data Model data files.

      Click Next.

11. The Specify OCDM Sample Schema Information page shows when you select to install the Sample Reports. In this dialog you specify where all of the data files that correspond to the Oracle Communications Data Model sample schemas should reside:

    - If you do not want to use the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature in Oracle Database, but instead want to explicitly specify a folder name, select File System and enter a folder name. You can click Browse to navigate to any valid local data file path.

      Click Next.

    - If you have stored your Oracle database files using the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) feature, and you also want store Oracle Communications Data Model data files using ASM, select Automatic Storage Management (ASM).

      Click Next.

      In the Select ASM Disk Group page, select the disk group in which you want to install the Oracle Communications Data Model data files.

      Click Next. When you install the sample reports, the next page shows the installer Summary that summarizes the information that you specified, as shown in step 15.

12. In the Specify Calendar Date Range page, specify the calendar date range by providing values for Start Date and Number of Years. The installer uses this information to populate the calendar data. A recommended Number of Years value is 15 years. Specifying larger Number of Years values proportionally increases the time it takes to implement the partitioning portion of Oracle Communications Data Model install activity. The start year specified with Start Date should be the lowest possible dates from your historical data load (lowest possible CDR date typically). There is no easy method to incrementally extend the time dimension, so your initial choice for Number of Years should be specified to meet your needs for a reasonably long time.

    Start Date must be in the format `YYYY-MM-DD`; for example, 2011-01-01 stands for January 1, 2011. Number of Years must be a whole number.

    Note:

    These calendar dates have nothing to do with the number of years you will effectively keep the data. The calendar as such is totally independent of the Information Lifecycle Management process you may use.

    Click Next.

13. In the Specify Partitions for reference and base tables page, specify the number of Second Level hash partitions for each entity, Organization, Company, Access Method, Account, and Contract. Specify a value for each field. If you enter an invalid value the installer shows a dialog displaying the valid values. For each value you specify, you should choose a value that is a power of 2 (for example: 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on).

    Click Next.

14. In the Specify Adapter Information page, which shows in the Application Adapter install type, select the application adapter name, either Billing and Revenue Management System (BRM) or Network Charging Control (NCC).

    Click Next.

15. The installer summarizes the information that you specified. Check that this information is correct. If necessary, click Back to return to previous screens and make corrections. When you are satisfied with the information, click Install.

16. The Oracle Communications Data Model component or sample reports are installed. If there are any problems, messages are displayed. After the installation finishes, the end of installation screen appears. Click Exit to end the installer.

After you exit the installer, perform any necessary post-installation tasks described in "Post-Installation Tasks". Then install the other components that you need to create an Oracle Communications Data Model warehouse, as described in Chapter 4, "Installation of Additional Components."

## Silent Installation

A silent installation has no graphical output and no input by the user. It is accomplished by supplying Oracle Universal Installer with a response file and specifying the `-silent` flag on the command line. Use silent installation when you want the same installation parameter on more than one computer.

### Selecting a Response File

Before performing a silent installation, you must provide information specific to your installation in a response file. The installer will fail if you attempt an installation using a response file that is not configured correctly. Response files are text files that you can create or edit in a text editor. The response file (`cdm.rsp`) is located in the `/response` directory in the directory that contains the Oracle Communications Data Model installation files. Edit the response file according to your requirements for silent installation. To use a response file, first copy it to your system.

Note:

You must install Oracle Communications Data Model on the "localhost" where the database server is located. You can determine the value of your "localhost" by issuing the following command where `db-name` is the name of your Oracle database.

    tnsname db-name

### Editing the Response File

Use any text editor to edit the response file to include information specific to your system. You must specify values for variables in your response file. Each variable listed in the response file is associated with a comment, which identifies the variable type. For example:

    string = "Sample Value"
    Boolean = True or False
    Number = 1000
    StringList = {"StringValue 1", "String Value 2"}

The values that are given as `<``Value` `Required>` must be specified for silent installation. Remove the comment from the variable values in the response file before starting the Oracle Communications Data Model installation.

### Specifying a Response File and Starting the Installation

Before you specify a response file, ensure that all values in the response file are correct. To make Oracle Universal Installer use the response file at installation time, specify the location of the response file as a parameter when starting Oracle Universal Installer. To perform a silent installation, use the `-silent` parameter as follows:

    ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile absolute_path_and_filename

Caution:

During installation, response files may be copied to subdirectories in the Oracle home. If you have provided passwords or other sensitive information in your response files, then for security purposes you should delete them after completing and verifying the installation.

### Silent Installation Log Files

The success or failure of silent installations is logged in the `installActions.log` file. Additionally, the silent installation creates the `silentInstall.log` file. The log files are created in the `/oraInventory/logs` directory. The `silentInstall` `Date_Time``.log` file contains the following line if the installation was successful:

    The installation of Oracle Communications Data Model was successful.

The corresponding `installActions` `Date_Time``.log` file contains specific information regarding installation.

### Security Tips for Silent Installations

The response file contains the installation password in clear text. To minimize security issues, follow these guidelines:

- Set the permissions on the response files so that they are readable only by the operating system user performing the silent installation.

- If possible, remove the response files from the system after the silent installation is completed.

### Error Handling

Values for variables that are of the wrong context, format, or type are treated as if no value were specified. Variables that are outside any section are ignored. If you attempt a silent installation with an incorrect or incomplete response file, or if Oracle Universal Installer encounters an error, such as insufficient disk space, then the installation will fail.

## Post-Installation Tasks

Once you have executed the Installer take the following steps to perform post-installation steps, cleanup, and configuration:

1. After you install Oracle Communications Data Model, obtain the IP Patch. The IP Patch includes additional documentation. To obtain the IP Patch and for the latest information about Oracle Communications Data Model patch sets, go to My Oracle Support at `https://support.oracle.com`.

2. Unlock the OCDM_SYS and OCDM_MINING accounts, as described in "Unlocking the OCDM_SYS and OCDM_MINING Accounts".

3. If you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports, unlock the OCDM_SAMPLE account, as described in "Unlocking the OCDM_SAMPLE Account".

4. If you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports, then recompile the OLAP Views, as described in "Recompiling OLAP Views".

5. If you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports and you do not want users to make changes to the schemas, grant only select privileges to those users as described in "Limiting User Privileges When You have Installed the Sample Reports".

6. Assign Grants to OCDM_MINING, as described in "Assigning Grants to OCDM_MINING".

7. Configure the OLAP working environment, as described in "Configuring the Working OLAP Environment".

8. If you want to use the Database Vault Option and disabled it before installation re-enable the options, as described in "Re-Enabling the Vault Option on the Database".

9. Ensure that the Oracle Communications Data Model objects are valid, as described in "Ensuring That Oracle Communications Data Model Objects Are Valid".

10. If necessary, change the values specified for PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY, as described in"Ensuring That PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is Set to the Proper Value".

11. If you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports, install the BIEE 11g rpd and WebCat, as described in "Installing RPD and WebCat for Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition".

12. If you installed Application Adapters, perform the additional installation and configuration steps as described in Appendix A, "NCC Adapter Installation and Configuration" to complete the installation and configuration of the NCC Adapter.

After performing these tasks, install the other components that you need to create an Oracle Communications Data Model warehouse, as described in Chapter 4, "Installation of Additional Components."

### Unlocking the OCDM_SYS and OCDM_MINING Accounts

At the end of the installation, the OCDM_SYS and OCDM_MINING accounts are locked. To unlock these accounts:

1. Log in the Database with a DBA id and password.

   Note:

   The password is case sensitive.

2. Unlock the accounts by issuing the following SQL statements.

       alter user ocdm_sys account unlock;
       alter user ocdm_mining account unlock;

### Unlocking the OCDM_SAMPLE Account

At the end of the installation of the Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports, the OCDM_SAMPLE account is locked. To unlock this account:

1. Log in the Database with a DBA id and password.

   Note:

   The password is case sensitive.

2. Unlock the account by issuing the following SQL statement.

       alter user ocdm_sample account unlock identified by <password>;

### Recompiling OLAP Views

After you unlock the ocdm_sample account, login with this account and execute the following statements to recompile the OLAP views in the sample schema:

    ALTER VIEW CUST_RVN_VIEW_OLAPC COMPILE;
    ALTER VIEW CUST_RVN_VIEW_FIN COMPILE;

### Limiting User Privileges When You have Installed the Sample Reports

By default, when you perform a Sample Reports type of Oracle Communications Data Model installation, the sample reports connect to OCDM_SYS schema directly. For security reason, you may want to grant only select privileges to users who will be working with these reports. To grant only select privileges, take the following steps:

1. Create a dedicated reporting user (for example, OCDM_Report).

2. Grant select privilege for all Oracle Communications Data Model tables required for reporting to the user you created in Step 1. The easy way is to grant the select privilege for all Oracle Communications Data Model tables, which start with one of the following prefixes: DWA, DWB, DWD, DWR, DWL.

3. Create a view (or synonym) in OCDM_Report schema, pointing to the OCDM_SYS tables.

4. In the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition repository, change the connection information to point to the new schema.

### Assigning Grants to OCDM_MINING

Log in to the database using an ID that has been granted the system privilege with the ADMIN OPTION or that has been granted the GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE system privilege.

### Configuring the Working OLAP Environment

To set up a working OLAP environment for an Oracle Communications Data Model warehouse, configure the database with the following parameter and configuration settings:

- Set `sga_target` to 35% of available memory.

- Set `pga_aggregate_target` to `35%` of available memory

- Set `olap_page_pool_size=0`. (This specifies dynamic page pool.)

- Set _`olap_page_pool_hi=30` (that is, lower than default of `50`).

- Set `_olap_parallel_update_threshold` and `_olap_parallel_update_small_threshold` to a high value (for example, `~2Gb.. 2147483647`). These settings turn off parallel update for the analytic workspace.

- Set `memory_max_target` to value greater than SGA and PGA settings. This is maximum amount of memory used for both SGA and PGA. The SGA and PGA settings specified are the minimum settings. (Note that failure to set `memory_max_target` leads to failure of instance startup (the next time these settings are validated which occurs if spfile had an older and distinct setting for `memory_max_target`).

The following statements illustrate changing these settings.

    alter system set sga_target=1365M scope=spfile;
    alter system set pga_aggregate_target=1365M scope=spfile;
    alter system set memory_max_target=3030M scope=spfile;
    alter system set olap_page_pool_size=0 scope=spfile;
    alter system set "_olap_parallel_update_small_threshold"=2147483647 scope=spfile;
    alter system set "_olap_page_pool_hi"=30 scope=spfile;
    alter system set job_queue_processes=5 scope=spfile;
    shutdown immediate;
    startup;

### Re-Enabling the Vault Option on the Database

If you are using the Database Vault Option and disabled it before installation as described in "Disabling the Data Vault Option on the Database", re-enable the Vault option by taking the following steps:

1. Shutdown the Database, Database Control console process, and listener. For example on UNIX, ensure that the environment variables, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and PATH are correctly set. Log in to SQL*Plus as user SYS with the SYSOPER privilege and shut down the database. Then from the command line, stop the Database Control console process and listener. For example:

       sqlplus sys as sysoper
       Enter password: password
       SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
       SQL> EXIT
       $ emctl stop dbconsole
       $ lsnrctl stop listener_name

   For Oracle RAC installations, shut down each database instance as follows:

       $ srvctl stop database -d db_name

2. Enable the Oracle Database Vault option.

       cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
       make -f ins_rdbms.mk dv_on
       make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

3. Startup the Database, Database Control console process, and listener. For example, on UNIX, Log in to SQL*Plus as user SYS with the SYSOPER privilege and restart the database. Then from the command line, restart the Database Control console process and listener. For example:

       sqlplus sys as sysoper
       Enter password: password
       SQL> STARTUP
       SQL> EXIT
       $ emctl start dbconsole
       $ lsnrctl start listener_name

   For Oracle RAC installations, restart each database instance as follows:

       $ srvctl start database -d db_name

4. For Oracle RAC installations, repeat these steps for each node on which the database is installed.

### Ensuring That Oracle Communications Data Model Objects Are Valid

To ensure that all Oracle Communications Data Model objects are valid, log in to the database with a DBA id and password and recompile all objects in OCDM_SYS and OCDM_MINING by issuing the following SQL statements:

    exec utl_recomp.recomp_serial('OCDM_SYS');
    exec utl_recomp.recomp_serial('OCDM_MINING');

### Ensuring That PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is Set to the Proper Value

For good performance, you need to ensure that the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET is set to the proper value which depends on the physical RAM of your Database Server. You also need to ensure that the WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY parameter is set to AUTO.

See:

For information on tuning the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET initialization parameter, see Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.

Note:

Setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to a nonzero value has the effect of automatically setting the WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY parameter to AUTO.

### Installing Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Catalog for Oracle Communications Data Model

Once Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is installed, follow these steps to install an Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition catalog for Oracle Communications Data Model:

Tip:

In these directions, replace BIEE_HOME with the name of the directory where Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is installed, and replace BIEE_DATA_HOME with the name of the directory where Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition data is stored.

1. Add a definition for `ocdm_db` for the Oracle Communications Data Model repository to use when connecting to the database. Add this definition to the file `$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora`:

       ocdm_db =
       (DESCRIPTION =
       (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname.domain)(PORT = port-number))
       (CONNECT_DATA =
       (SERVER = DEDICATED)

   Tip:

   Be careful to split these commands properly when you add them to the file; for example, do not add them as one long concatenated line of code.

   Note:

   If you want to use another database name, you must change the `tnsname` in the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition repository. See the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition documentation for directions for defining a database connection in repository.

### Installing RPD and WebCat for Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition

If you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model Oracle sample reports, you need to deploy the Oracle Communications Data Model RPD and webcat on the Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition 11g instance. For more information on deploying RPD and webcat in BIEE, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

After you use the installer to install the sample reports you can find the rpd file and the webcat file in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/ocdm/report, in the following files:

ocdm.rpd

ocdmwebcat.zip

Before you deploy the webcat, you need to unzip ocdmwebcat.zip.
