5 About this documet Both Oracle7 ad Oracle8 ca be used with BaaERP as the database server. This documet describes how to istall ad prepare either versio of Oracle to use with BaaERP. It also describes how to istall the BaaERP software whe usig Oracle as database server. This documet ca be used by all persos who wat to perform a fresh istallatio of Oracle to be used as RDBMS for a BaaERP eviromet o a UNIX server. However, elemetary kowledge of UNIX ad Oracle is required. This guide is divided ito the followig ie chapters: Chapter 1 describes the the preparatios that must be made before you istall Oracle ad BaaERP. Chapter 2 describes how to istall the Oracle versio 7.3 software. Chapter 3 describes how to istall the Oracle versio 8.0 software. Chapter 4 describes how to cofigure the Oracle eviromet. Chapter 5 describes how to istall the BaaERP software. Chapter 6 describes how to cofigure BaaERP ad how to set up the demo database. Chapter 7 describes the files i $BSE/lib/ora. Chapter 8 describes the differet Oracle modes. Appedix A describes the Database Admiistrators (DBA) module. This documet describes a istallatio of Oracle for a sigle UNIX server. The examples ad descriptios of actios o the UNIX prompt assume the use of the kor-shell (ksh). UNIX keywords, variables, path ames ad so o are prited bold (casesesitive). Examples: the cpio commad, chage directories to $BSE/bi. Variables of ay kid are i italics, for example, create the directory pathame/baa. iii

6 About this documet iv

7 1 Istallatio preparatios There are several tasks that must be performed before you istall BaaERP o a UNIX system usig the Oracle7 database server. This chapter describes how to perform these tasks. The followig topics are covered i this chapter: Hardware ad software requiremets Terms ad defiitios Tuig the kerel Testig TCP/IP Allocatig disk space Creatig the required UNIX directories, groups, users, ad files Settig eviromet variables Hardware ad software requiremets There are several hardware cofiguratios that ca be used to istall BaaERP with Oracle7 or Oracle8. The followig are the miimum requiremets to istall both BaaERP ad Oracle o the same server. Oracle7 versio 7.3 or Oracle8 versio 8.0 A UNIX system TCP/IP software istalled, cofigured, ad ruig A CD-ROM drive if the distributio medium for Oracle is CD-ROM A 4 millimeter tape drive for the BAAN distributio A miimum of 700 MB hard disk space for the Oracle software A miimum of 250 MB hard disk space for the BAAN software eviromet (BSE) A miimum of 2.3 gigabytes (GB) hard disk space for the database Hard disk space equivalet to 2.5 to 3 times the size of the iteral memory for the UNIX swap space A etwork adapter 1-1

8 Istallatio preparatios Terms ad defiitios The followig is a list of terms used by Oracle that affect the BAAN istallatio. Block Multiple physical file blocks that are allocated from a existig data file. Extet A set of adjacet database blocks. Segmet A set of oe or multiple extets; cotais all data for a specific tablespace structure. Tablespace A logical storage space for physically grouped data. File A physical data file belogig to a sigle tablespace. Database A logical collectio of shared data stored i tablespaces. Tuig the kerel The kerel of the UNIX machie must be tued to accommodate the projected umber of BAAN users. Before tuig the kerel for Oracle, refer to the preistallatio tasks i the Oracle documet Oracle Istallatio ad Cofiguratio Guide. 1-2

9 Istallatio preparatios Testig TCP/IP To start the licese daemo, TCP/IP must be cofigured correctly. Verify that pig hostame the commad produces a correct respose. The respose time for this commad must be o loger tha 20 ms. For example: O the IBM host sheliak, the pig sheliak 65 7 commad produces the followig output: sheliak> pig sheliak 65 7 PING sheliak.baan.l ( ): 65 data bytes 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1 ms 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1 ms 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=1 ms 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=1 ms 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=1 ms 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=1 ms 73 bytes from : icmp_seq=6 ttl=255 time=1 ms --- sheliak.baan.l pig statistics packets trasmitted, 7 packets received, 0% packet loss roud-trip mi/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms Allocatig disk space To set up the Oracle eviromet well, you must carefully cosider the hard disk cofiguratio. Oce the hard disks have bee partitioed ad assiged, it is time cosumig to reassig them. Of course, factors such as disk capacity, umber of cocurret users, umber of compaies, ad expected disk space usage are also importat to prevet performace problems. The examples i this documet are based o tablespaces i the UNIX file systems. The followig are the stadard ames of the Oracle tablespaces: Oracle tablespaces Tablespace ame System Temp Rbsspace Datspace Idxspace Fuctio System tables Temporary tablespace Rollback segmets BAAN tables BAAN idexes The data file ames are a combiatio of the short versio of the tablespace ame, followed by a sequece umber for that tablespace, followed by the Oracle istace ame, with the suffix.dbf. For example, the datafile of the system tablespace is amed system1baa.dbf. 1-3

10 Istallatio preparatios Below are estimated disk space requiremets for the Oracle istallatio ad the tablespaces. These guidelies are for approximately 100 users: Estimated tablespace requiremets for 100 users dbspace Disk space Descriptio system 128 MB Stores iformatio about all tables. The size depeds o the umber of compaies. redolog 3 x 50 MB Space for roll forward data. rbsspace 100 MB Space for ucompleted trasactios. temp 100 MB Space for tasks such as sortig. This tablespace will ot require too much space whe you use Level 1. If you decide to use Level 2, more space is required. datspace 1 GB Tablespace for tables. The size depeds o the amout of data ad umber of compaies. idxspace 1 GB Tablespace for idices. The size depeds o the amout of data ad umber of compaies. It is useful to distribute the tablespaces over differet disks. For example, if you have four hard disks available for Oracle ad the databases, the followig cofiguratio is a good iitial choice: Disk 1 Oracle, system tablespace, ad temp dataspace Disk 2 Dat space Disk 3 Idex space Disk 4 Redolog files Creatig the required UNIX directories, groups, users, ad files Before you istall Oracle ad BaaERP, three UNIX directories must be created. I additio, several UNIX users ad groups must be created. Before you istall Oracle, three UNIX files ad oe directory must be created. The followig sectios specify the directories, groups, users, ad files that you must create. 1-4

11 Istallatio preparatios Creatig UNIX directories You will eed to create a home directory both for the Oracle products ad for BaaERP, ad a directory for the Oracle documetatio. To create these directories, do the followig: 1 Create a directory for the Oracle product. Later, you will set a eviromet variable called ORACLE_HOME that will cotai the path to this directory. 2 Set the permissios of the ORACLE directory to read, write, ad carry out. 3 Create a directory for the Oracle documetatio files. Later, you will set a eviromet variable called ORACLE_DOC that will cotai the path to this directory. 4 Create a directory for BaaERP. Later, you will create a eviromet variable called BSE (BAAN Software Eviromet) that will cotai the path to this directory. 5 Set the permissios for the BSE directory to read, write, ad carry out. Creatig UNIX groups You will eed the UNIX group accouts dba, bsp, ad baa before you ca istall Oracle ad BaaERP. You ca use a stadard system admiistratio utility to add these groups. The followig describes each of these groups. dba The dba group icludes those users who are give system admiistratio privileges for the Oracle database. bsp The bsp group icludes those users who are give system admiistratio privileges for the BAAN database. The group bsp must be give the UNIX group id 125. baa The baa group icludes all those users who are give user access to the BAAN database. 1-5

12 Istallatio preparatios Creatig UNIX users Several UNIX users are required for both the Oracle ad the BAAN istallatios. You ca use a stadard system admiistratio tool to create the required users. The followig table gives details of these users. UNIX users ad groups Logo ID Oracle Baa Bsp Demo Tools applic Primary group dba baa bsp bsp bsp bsp Whe you create these users, ote the followig: The bsp user must be assiged a user ID of 125. The home directory of the oracle user must be the same as the ORACLE_HOME directory. NOTE Creatig iitial UNIX files for Oracle The Oracle istallatio process assumes the availability of a umber of files. O some systems these files are created automatically, o others they must be created maually. The files are: /etc/oratab /etc/tsames.ora /etc/listeer.ora To create these files, log o as oracle ad eter the followig commads to create these files ad the correct permissios: $ touch /etc/oratab $ touch /etc/tsames.ora $ touch /etc/listeer.ora $ chmod 644 /etc/oratab /etc/tsames.ora /etc/listeer.ora The directory where these files reside is system depedat. O several systems (like SUN ad SNI) these files are located i /var/opt/oracle. Please refer to your Oracle Istallatio ad SQL*Net or Net8 documetatio to verify the locatio of these files. 1-6

13 Istallatio preparatios Settig eviromet variables Several eviromet variables must be set both for Oracle ad for BaaERP. This sectio describes the variables that must be set before the software is istalled. Oracle eviromet variables Four eviromet variables must be set i the.profile of the oracle user before Oracle ca be istalled. The followig describes these ad the values to which they must be set. Eviromet variable settigs Eviromet variable Settig ORACLE_HOME The complete path to the Oracle istallatio directory, for example, /usr1/oracle ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM ORACLE_DOC ORACLE_LINK The ame of the Oracle istace that will be created durig the BAAN istallatio, for example, baa Defies the Oracle termial driver, for example, vt100 Defies the path ame of the directory where the documetatio is stored Defies the CD-ROM lik directory Note that Oracle must ever be istalled o the root disk. To make the eviromet variables easily available, they must be set i a startup script for the oracle user. To create a startup script, log o as oracle ad place the eviromet variables i the.profile file as follows: ORACLE_HOME=Oracle software directory ORACLE_SID=istace ame ORACLE_TERM=termial variable ORACLE_DOC=documetatio directory ORACLE_LINK=lik directory PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bi export ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID ORACLE_TERM ORACLE_DOC ORACLE_LINK PATH Note that ORACLE_LINK is ot always ecessary. 1-7

14 Istallatio preparatios BAAN eviromet variables After you istall BaaERP, you ca defie the $BSE variables i the user s.profile files istead of i the systemwide /etc/profile. If you pla to istall BaaERP i a directory that previously existed, there may already be directories i the $BSE/home directory. If so, remove ay.profile files from these directories. The BaaERP istallatio script creates.profile files for the directories of $BSE/home, but will ot overwrite ay files that already exist. 1-8

15 2 Istallig Oracle versio 7.3 NOTE This chapter describes how to istall the Oracle software. BaaERP ca be istalled with Oracle7. Oracle istallatios are versio ad system depedat. The istallatio procedures give i this chapter are merely examples. Please check your Oracle documetatio for the istallatio procedure for the Oracle versio that you are istallig. This documetatio is titled: Oracle Server Istallatio Guide or Oracle Server Istallatio ad Cofiguratio Guide. The Oracle Istallatio Guide describes the procedures to create the Oracle istallatio eviromet ad to ru the Oracle Istaller for your operatig system ad media type. The Oracle Istaller script is described i detail here to provide the required settigs for BAAN. This chapter outlies several media-specific hits ad poits of attetio to create the Oracle istallatio eviromet. There is a differece betwee istallig from tape ad istallig from CD-ROM. Both methods are addressed i this chapter. Istallig Oracle requires the followig three steps: 1 Create the Oracle istallatio eviromet from tape or CD-ROM 2 Ru the Oracle Istaller 3 Set the permissios (root.sh) If you istall Oracle from tape, begi with the followig sectio below, Istallig from tape. If you istall from CD-ROM, begi with the sectio Istallig from CD-ROM o Page 2-2. Istallig from tape Usig a Oracle distributio tape, perform the followig steps before you start the istallatio process. 1 Log o as user oracle. Type the followig commads to read the istaller software from tape: $ mt -t /dev/tape_device $ cpio -icdvb < /dev/tape_device 2-1

29 4 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet This chapter describes the Oracle cofiguratio tasks that you must perform after you istall Oracle. The tasks described are: Set permissios Create a Oracle istace Modify the iitoracle_sid.ora file Modify the oratab file Modify the rollback segmets Settig permissios After you istall Oracle, you must set the appropriate permissios before you ca ru the Oracle server. To set these permissios ad to cofigure the Oracle eviromet, you must ru the root.sh shell script (you ca fid the root.sh script i $ORACLE_HOME/oraist). Before you ca ru root.sh, you must set several eviromet variables. The values that you set for these eviromet variables depeds o your istallatio. Please refer to the appropriate Oracle mauals prior to ruig root.sh. Creatig a Oracle istace If you followed the steps i the previous chapter to istall Oracle, you have already created a Oracle istace. If Oracle was previously istalled, but a istace for BAAN is ot yet available, you will still eed to follow the steps i the previous chapter, Istallig Oracle Versio 7.3. Modifyig the iitoracle_sid.ora file After you create a stadard istace, the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/iitORACLE_SID.ora file must be modified before Oracle ca ru properly. The chages to be performed i these files are described i the sectios below (ote that you must be logged o as user oracle). The iitoracle_sid.ora file i the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory cotais some Oracle parameters. Every istace has its ow file with the ame iitoracle_sid.ora. For example, for the ORACLE_SID baa, the file is amed iitbaa.ora. 4-1

30 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet NOTE NOTE The iitoracle_sid.ora file cotais a umber of optios whose SMALL value is eabled by default, ad whose MEDIUM ad LARGE values are disabled. You must chage these optios i the circumstaces listed below: With more tha 25 users, eable the MEDIUM value ad disable the other values. With more tha 75 users, eable the LARGE value ad disable the other values. For all remaiig tuig tasks you must verify that the kerel o your system ca hadle the umber of users that you specify. See also the chapter o preistallatio tasks i the Oracle Istallatio ad Cofiguratio Guide. If you chage ay parameters i the iitoracle_sid.ora file, you must be logged o as oracle. Close dow ad start up ORACLE7 by usig the dbshut ad dbstart commads to effect the chages. All the values for the parameters that have bee discussed are good startig values. Your system may eed additioal tuig later o, ad some of these parameters ca be chaged i that process. It is difficult to give the best values i this maual, because of customizig ad differeces i Baa istallatios. The followig variables ad the idicated values must be added to or chaged i the iitoracle_sid.ora file: db_files port specific (but ormally 32 or 64). If you set this value too small or too large it ca have a egative impact o the Oracle Buffer Cache performace. db_file_multiblock_read_cout The default is 8, set it to 64. As a rule of thumb: make sure that sort_read_fac is equal to db_file_multiblock_read_cout. This parameter will help with full ad rage scas. Settig of this parameter has a impact o the optimizer. The optimizer ca cost full or rage scas cheaper if this value is larger. db_block_buffers Refer to the sectio The db_block_buffers ad shared_pool_size parameters (later i this chapter) for a descriptio of this parameter. shared_pool_size Refer to the sectio The db_block_buffers ad shared_pool_size parameters (later i this chapter) for a descriptio of this parameter. 4-2

31 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet log_checkpoit_iterval For istalls we ca suggest a value of Basically let the size of the redo log files decide the checkpoit frequecy. The default value is 10000, a larger value will help to speed up migratios or istalls. If the value is really large ad you have large redo log files, the startup of a database (that was ot clealy shutdow) ca take loger (scaig the larger log files). log_buffer The default is 8K (8192). For the migratios/istalls a larger value is eeded. Normally the size of the log_buffer ca be determied with the followig formula: 3/2 * (avg. redo size per TX * cocurret TX) It is ot urealistic to set a value of 1M or 2M. ope_cursors Icrease this value to sort_read_fac Icrease this value to 64. If sorts go to disk because a large sort is doe or the sort_area_size is small, this parameter idicates the umber of blocks that will be read back from the temporary segmet. cursor_space_for_time Set this value to TRUE This will help to reduce the latch cotetio o the library cache latches. The side effect of this parameter is that potetially a larger shared spool (shared_pool_size) ca be eeded (so, settig this parameter to TRUE is oly useful o larger system cofiguratios). Note that, if the size of your shared_pool_size parameter is less tha 100M, you may eed to set cursor_space_for_time parameter to FALSE. If you get the Oracle error Ora-4031, it ca be a idicatio that you have to switch the cursor_space_for_time parameter back to FALSE. db_block_size The default is 2K (2048), however it may be a better choice to go to a larger blocksize like (4K, 8K or eve 16K). The value must be equal to or a multiple of the page size of your operatig system. This parameter ca really help with tables that have very large rows, so that the row ca fit ito oe block istead of ito multiple blocks (row chaiig). 4-3

32 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet sort_area_size The default is 64K (65536). A larger value ca help to reduce the umber of sorts to disk or the umber of times a sort must go to disk. However settig a larger value has a impact o all Oracle processes ad ca impact your memory requiremets for the database server. Normally sorts will go through the Oracle buffer cache, with sort_direct_writes=auto, the writes ca go directly to disk. timed_statistics The default is FALSE. If you set this to TRUE, it will have a small egative performace impact (1 to 3%, platform specific), but it will provide detailed timig iformatio that ca guide you later i case you have performace problems. Otherwise, the database istace must be restarted to eable it. asyc I/O The ame of this parameter is portspecific, so is the default value. Basically, you wat to eable the asyc I/O o each platform. Look i the portspecific Oracle documetatio for the ame ad the default value for this parameter. You wat to eable the asychroous writes (which are still syc ed to disk) for the DBWR process. db_file_simultaeous_writes The default is 4. This parameter ad the db_files determie the write batch for the DBWR with the followig formula: ((db_files * db_file_simultaeous_writes)/2)/db_block_lru_latches Note that the correct settig for db_block_lru_latches, db_files ad db_file_simultaeous_writes ca be determied with the followig rule: If the outcome of the above formula is betwee 32 ad 64, you have the best iitial settigs. db_block_lru_latches The default value is portspecific. This parameter determies the umber of buffer cache LRUs i your system. A good rage of values is 2 to 4. If you set this value too large, it ca have a egative impact o the Oracle Buffer Cache performace. db_block_checkpoit_batch The default is 8. A better value is probably aroud 32 to 64. This idicates the umber of buffers that the DBWR process will write out i the ormal DBWR write batch for a checkpoit. If checkpoits take a log time to complete, it ca help to set a larger value. 4-4

33 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet The db_block_buffers ad shared_pool_size parameters The ext two parameters (db_block_buffers ad shared_pool_size) have a big impact o memory cosumptio o your machie. There for some sizig eeds to be doe, depedig o the umber of compaies, istallatio type, umber of processes ad iteral memory. The values calculated must be viewed as the values for larger istallatios. Smaller istallatios ca (ot eeded) reduce some of these values. (The termiology ad required data has bee copied from the BAAN IV sizig guide P3004F, but this data ca also be used for BaaERP iitial Oracle sizig.) The formula for computig is as follows: db_block_buffers = (0.50 * Ir)/db_block_size shared_pool_size = (0.25 * Ir) Ir = Im - Ib - (P * Ig) Ir = Iteral memory that remais free Im = Iteral memory of the machie Ib = Base amout of memory Ig = Amout of memory per GUI user P = Number of cocurret Baa users 32-bits OS Hostmode Oracle C/S DB Server Ib Ig Ib Ig Oracle (raw) 64 Mb 11 Mb 64 Mb 3.5 Mb Oracle (UFS) 64 Mb 12 Mb 64 Mb 5 Mb 64-bits OS Hostmode Oracle C/S DB Server Ib Ig Ib Ig Oracle (raw) 80 Mb 12 Mb 80 Mb 3.5 Mb Oracle (UFS) 80 Mb 13 Mb 80 Mb 5 Mb NOTE It is also good to uderstad that Ir must be a certai value. Ir must be a miimum of 30-40% of Im. As a rule of thumb: the remaiig amout of memory ca be divided like this: 50 percet for the Oracle buffer cache (db_block_buffers) ad 25 percet for the Oracle shared pool (shared_pool_size). 4-5

34 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet Example 1: Apply the rules of thumb as metioed o the previous page to compute the parameters for the followig cofiguratio: Host mode 1 Gb iteral memory 32-bit OS raw Oracle I/0 50 cocurret Baa users db_block_size set to 4k. Ir = Im - Ib - (P * Ig) Ir = 1024Mb 64 Mb ( 50 * 11 Mb ) = 410 Mb db_block_buffers = (0.5 * Ir)/db_block_size shared_pool_size = (0.25 * Ir) db_block_buffers = (0.5 * 410Mb) / 4k = shared_pool_size = (0.25 * 410Mb) = Example 2: Oracle C/S mode 256Mb iteral memory 32-bit OS raw Oracle I/0 50 cocurret Baa users db_block_size set to 4k. Ir = Im - Ib - (P * Ig) Ir = 256Mb 64 Mb ( 50 * 3.5 Mb ) = 17 Mb db_block_buffers = (0.5 * Ir)/db_block_size shared_pool_size = (0.25 * Ir) db_block_buffers = (0.5 * 17Mb) / 4k = 2150 shared_pool_size = (0.25 * 17Mb) = Note that i this last example Ir is oly 5% of Im, so this sizig will probably give tremedous performace problems. If you look at the formulas, you ca easily see that this system caot be tued well for fifty users. 4-6

35 Cofigurig the Oracle eviromet Adjustig the oratab file While you carry out the root.sh script described i the sectio, Settig permissios above, the Oracle cofiguratio file /etc/oratab is created. O some systems this file is located i aother directory: /var/opt/oracle/oratab. This file cotais the real path of the Oracle7 istallatio directory. For baa the istace, the /etc/oratab file cotais, for example, the followig default etry: baa:/usr1/app/oracle/product/ :n You must read this etry as follows: The first field is the system idetifier (ORACLE_SID) of the database. The secod field is the home directory (ORACLE_HOME) of the database. The third field idicates whether the database must (Y), or must ot (N) be brought up at systemboot time. You must chage the value of the third field from N to Y. Adjustig the rollback segmets Select the umber of rollback segmets from the followig table: Number of users Number of rollback segmets required rollback segmet for each 4 users rollback segmet for each 6 users More tha 61 1 rollback segmet for each 8 users These values are oly iitial values. If they prove to be usatisfactory, you ca chag them at ay time. To view, create, or remove rollback segmets, use SQL*Plus.

This meas that five rollback segmets with optimal size of 40M eed a rollback tablespace size of at least 200Mb. If this was the size of the created rollback tablespace durig the istallatio, o rollback segmet will be able to use additioal extets.

43 5 Istallig BaaERP To istall BaaERP there are two major steps: Load the software from tape The software ca be loaded either locally or remotely. A local istallatio meas that the tape streamer is coected to the system o which the software is beig istalled. A remote istallatio meas that the istallatio is doe o a local system from a tape loaded o a remote system i the etwork. A local istallatio is described i the sectio below Loadig the software locally; a remote istallatio is described i the sectio Loadig the software remotely o Page 5-3. Istall the software This step is described i the sectio, Istallig the software o Page 5-7. The master-tape shipmet ca iclude a secod tape, called a patch tape. Use the same master tape procedure to read the patch tape ito a separate, empty directory. If a patch tape is icluded, see the maual eclosed with it for istallatio istructios. CAUTION Loadig the software locally This sectio describes how to load the BAAN software from a local tape device that is attached to the UNIX server. If you load the software from a remote tape device, skip to the sectio Loadig the software remotely o Page 5-3. To load the software locally, follow the steps described below: 1 Log o as user root ad create the directory i which to load the BAAN software, for example, /usr2/tape. Never load the software ito a directory i a existig BSE eviromet or ito a directory that cotais existig BAAN tables. If you do so, the istallatio script will crash. 2 Chage directories to the directory that was created i Step 1 ad make sure that the tape is positioed at the begiig of the tape. You ca use oe of the followig commads to rewid the tape: # < local rewid device # mt -t local device rewid 5-1

75 7 Files i $BSE/lib/ora The $BSE/lib/ora directory cotais (amog other thigs) three files that are eeded to coect BaaERP ad Oracle. These files are ora_users, ora_groups, ad ora_storage. The ora_users file The DBA module processes the database calls from BAAN to Oracle. The ora_users file cotrols the way this server will call Oracle. The file cotet must be as follows: Baa User:Oracle User:Oracle User Password:User Group The fields of a etry i the ora_users file are listed below: BAAN User This is the ame by which the user is kow to BAAN. Oracle User This is the ame by which the user i kow to Oracle. A user ca also access the Oracle database by usig aother perso s UNIX logi. Oracle User Password This is the Oracle password of the Oracle user. The password is stored i ecrypted form. User Group This is the group to which the user belogs. This must be a valid Oracle logi ame. A example of a lie i the ora_users file is: bsp:bsp:putchnb!4tkeq=8>w=&;;uk\db@+f?:baa The ora_groups file The ora_groups file cotais the groups ad the associated ecrypted passwords. The sytax of a etry i the ora_groups file is: Group Name:Group Password 7-1

76 Files i $BSE/lib/ora These groups are the groups as they ca appear i the last colum of the ora_users file. The password is the ecrypted Oracle password. A example of a etry i the ora_groups file is: baa:5tt "I*/qm;7cORtYP:8*Hksop*9 g6 The ora_storage file The ora_storage file is used to specify various object parameters for the Oracle driver. This file is usually referred to as the storage file. The Oracle driver refers to this file for the creatio of objects as well as durig data maipulatio. The simplest format of each lie i the file is as follows: Table Name:Compay:Object:Ower Type:Idex Optimizatio:Refresh Time:[Storage Specificatios] The fields of a etry i the ora_storage file are listed below: Table Name This is the table ame, wildcards are allowed. Compay This is the compay, wildcards are allowed. Object This is the table [T] or idex [I]. The idex ca be followed by the idex umber. Wildcards are allowed. Ower Type This field defies whether the ower type is group or private. Idex Optimizatio 011 for Level 1ad 0214 for Level 2. Refresh Time This field is used to set the validity period of a table set. Refresh time is meaigful oly for tables; for idexes it is igored. The refresh time is i umber of secods. If oe is specified, the default value is zero. Storage Specificatios The Oracle driver provides a facility to cotrol various parameters to create tables. A example of a lie i the ora_storage file is show below. tfgld106:004:t:group:0214:5:pctfree 5 TABLESPACE datspace INITRANS 3 STORAGE (INITIAL K NEXT K PCTINCREASE 0) For more details, see the Oracle server documetatio. 7-2

77 8 Oracle modes Like ay other database, Oracle must first be started (brought olie) before it ca be used. Afterwards (or, for example, for a reboot of the system) it must be stopped (take offlie). Oracle has the followig states: State Shutdow Nomout Mout Ope Descriptio No part of the istace is ruig iitoracle_sid.ora file is beig read; shared memory is beig started Cotrol files are beig opeed ad the presece of the database files is beig checked.
