Creating the Oracle schema

To create the Oracle database schema, you must first run the leap_schema.sql script located in the <netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn/sql/oracle directory. This file must be loaded into the database using any client, for example the SQL*Plus tool provided by Oracle.

To create the schema:

1.You must log in as an appropriate user with the permissions needed to create new tables in the database. See your Oracle documentation for Oracle user information.

Run Oracle SQL*Plus to load the schema by entering:

$ sqlplus [user/password options]

SQL> @<netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn/sql/oracle/ncim.sql;

SQL> @<netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn/sql/oracle/leap_schema.sql;

Note: If you are already running Netcool/Precision TN with Netcool/Precision IP or Netcool for Asset Management which are already using the NCIM schema, do not execute the ncim.sql file.

2.If the tables have been successfully created in the Oracle database, you see output similar to:

SQL> @<netcool_install_dir>/etc/precisiontn/sql/oracle/leap_schema.sql

Table created. Table created. Table created. Table created. Table created. Table created. Table created. Table created. Table created.

Configuring advanced Oracle features

The server can take advantage of such Oracle features as parallel servers, redundant databases, and connection concentration. These advanced features of the Oracle database are transparently available to the server through the use of the included OCI JDBC driver, in conjunction with additional database configuration steps.

This document is not meant as a full tutorial on the deployment of these features. Oracle databases are complicated products -- please consult an experienced database administrator before you employ these techniques.
