This paragraph contains important information on the data that are required for creating an Oracle database for BPMone. Steps Follow the steps below to install BPMone with an Oracle database. Step Action 1 Install the Oracle RDBMS software. 2 Create the Oracle database. 3 Create the required tablespaces in the Oracle database. 4 Install an Oracle client on the BPMone application server. 5 Create a database user in the Oracle database and set the tablespaces. 6 Configure the Oracle listener and check the connection using SQL Plus. 7 Install BPMone Server. 8 Configure the extra waiting time to start the Oracle Service. Step 1: Install RDBMS-software You must install the RDBMS-software before installation of BPMone Server. If the Oracle database and BPMone Server are installed on the same machine, the RDBMS software must be installed on that machine. If the Oracle database and BPMone Server are installed on different machines ('remote database') the RDBMS software must be installed on the machine on which the Oracle database is installed. An Oracle Client must be installed on the server machine on which BPMone will be installed. (See step 4). Step 2: Create Oracle database To ensure correct functioning of BPMone it is necessary to set the code page of the database to AL32UTF8 when creating the database. If this code page is not available, for example as in Oracle 9, we advise you to use a UTF code page anyway. When creating an Oracle database for BPMone you must specify the desired sizes for the database. The database sizes strongly depends on the environment in which BPMone will be used. The size of the shared memory (SGA), for example, depends on the amount of physical available RAM memory. If you set the SGA too large, your computer will not perform optimally. If you set the value too small, BPMone will not perform properly P e rce p tiv e So ftw a re

The table below gives an overview of the different Oracle database settings that are relevant for creation of an Oracle database for use with BPMone. Setting Shared memory size (SGA) System table size Auxiliary table size Temporary segment size Tabel size Index size Rollback segment size Sorting table size Log file size per file Block size Number of database blocks Number of processes Description The size of the shared memory that is used by Oracle. The initial size in megabytes if the Oracle system tables. The initial size in megabytes of the auxiliary Oracle system tables. The size of the temporary data segment in megabytes (temp, sort etc.). The initial size in megabytes of the complete database (wfd). The maximum size in megabytes of all index files in the database. The size of the rollback segment in megabytes, which enables to undo the latest unconfirmed database transactions. A file for the sorting tablespace, for temporary use by Oracle. The maximum size of the Oracle log files. The I/O block size in bytes that Oracle must use. The value for Block size is platform dependent and must be set to an optimal value to ensure maximal system performance. The number of database blocks that Oracle may have in memory at a certain moment. The number of processes that Oracle is allowed to start simultaneously for BPMone P e rce p tiv e So ftw a re 5

6 C re a ting a n O ra cle d a ta b a se fo r B P Mo ne Step 3: Create tablespaces To ensure correct functioning of BPMone you must create two tablespaces in the Oracle database with the following names: WFD_DATA WFD_INDEX. The tablespace wfd_data is used for the storage of the BPMone tables. Both tablespaces must be at least 100Mb and must be configured to grow automatically (QUOTA UNLIMITED). For big BPMone production environments the tablespaces must be calculated on beforehand. Step 4: Install Oracle client If the Oracle database and BPMone Server are installed on different machines ('remote database') an Oracle client must be installed on the server machine on which BPMone will be installed. With the installation of Oracle client, at least the following components must be installed. SQL Plus Oracle ODBC Driver Oracle Call Interface (OCI) Oracle Net If the Oracle Home variable is not set automatically during the installation of Oracle client, we recommend that you set this variable manually. Follow the steps below. Step Action 1 Open the Windows Start menu and select All Programs, followed by Accessories. 2 Select Command Prompt. A c om m and prom pt w indow is displayed. 3 Enter the following command: set ORACLE_HOME=<path> <path> is the path to the oracle home, which you can find in the Windows Registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\Oracleversie\ORACLE_HOME Example set ORACLE_HOME=C:\Oracle\product\ P e rce p tiv e So ftw a re

7 O ra cle d a ta b a se fo r use w ith B P Mo ne Step 5: Create Database user and set tablespaces A user must be created in the database. We recommend to use bpmone as the database user. The name of this user will be asked during the configuration of BPMone. Run the following script (for example with SQLplus) to give the user the necessary Oracle grants for creating a database. CREATE USER bpmone IDENTIFIED BY "password" PROFILE DEFAULT; GRANT ALTER ANY INDEX TO bpmone; GRANT ALTER ANY PROCEDURE TO bpmone; GRANT ALTER ANY SEQUENCE TO bpmone; GRANT ALTER ANY TABLE TO bpmone; GRANT ALTER ANY TRIGGER TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE ANY INDEX TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE ANY PROCEDURE TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE ANY SEQUENCE TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE ANY TABLE TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE ANY TRIGGER TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE ANY VIEW TO bpmone; GRANT DROP ANY INDEX TO bpmone; GRANT DROP ANY PROCEDURE TO bpmone; GRANT DROP ANY SEQUENCE TO bpmone; GRANT DROP ANY TABLE TO bpmone; GRANT DROP ANY TRIGGER TO bpmone; GRANT DROP ANY VIEW TO bpmone; GRANT CREATE SESSION to bpmone; GRANT "CONNECT" TO bpmone; ALTER USER BPMONE QUOTA UNLIMITED ON WFD_DATA; ALTER USER BPMONE QUOTA UNLIMITED ON WFD_INDEX; ALTER USER BPMONE DEFAULT TABLESPACE "WFD_DATA"; (The default tablespace for the database user must be WFD_DATA.) The Oracle database is now ready. You can now start the Installation of BPMone. During the installation and migration of BPMone, the Oracle database cannot be in the archive mode! Step 6: Configure the Oracle listener and check the connection using SQL Plus You can check the connection with the following sqlplus command: 2012 P e rce p tiv e So ftw a re 7

During the installation and migration of BPMone, the Oracle database cannot be in the archive mode! Step 8: Configure extra waiting time to start the Oracle Service To ensure that the Oracle Service has been started after a system restart, you can specify the time in seconds that BPMone Server must wait before start up, in the Windows Registry key of type DWORD: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WaveFront\BPMone Server\1 \Oracle\WAIT4RDBMS Because BPMone Server depends on the Oracle Service, during the start up of your system BPMone Server will be started after the Oracle Service has been started P e rce p tiv e So ftw a re 9
