Installing the ETL utility

1. In a command shell, set your current directory to the location where you unpacked the installation ZIP file, Healthcare-CDM4_ETL_xxx.zip, where xxx refers to the build number.

   For example:

   $ cd /u01/stage/cdm4etl

2. In the command shell, log in to the Empirica Healthcare Analysis database using a privileged user, such as sys or system. The user must have privileges to create a user and grant privileges to the user.

   For example:

   $ sqlplus <privileged_user_name>@<connect_string>

   You are prompted to type a password for the user.

3. Type a password, and press Enter.
4. In SQL*Plus, execute the installation script, install_etl.sql. This file is in the installation kit.

   SQL>@install_etl.sql

   If you set properties so that you import using a database link, the installation prompts you to provide and confirm the passwords for the data and vocabulary accounts in the source database.

   For all installations, the installation prompts you to create a password for the destination account. Remember this value for later when you check whether the installation was successful and execute the ETL utility.

   Executing the installation script writes a log file, install_etl.log, in the current directory.

If you stop the installation, you can change the etl.properties file, if needed, drop the destination account, and install again. For more information, see Editing the etl.properties file and installing the ETL utility again.
