This chapter describes how to install Oracle Communications Data Model and other components you use to create an Oracle Communications Data Model data warehouse:
Using the Oracle Universal Installer you can perform two types of Oracle Communications Data Model installation:
Installation of the Oracle Communications Data Model component, itself. You must install this component to create an Oracle Communications Data Model data warehouse.
Installation of reports (and schemas) that you can use for ideas about how to design your own reports. Installing the reports is optional.
Installation of the Oracle Communications Data Model Application Adapters.
Different items are installed depending on whether you install the database objects, the reports and schemas, or the adapters.
Communications Data Model Installation
When you perform a Communications Data Model installation of Oracle Communications Data Model, the Oracle Universal Installer installs the Oracle Communications Data Model component without data. Specifically, the installer creates the following schemas in the target database:
ocdm_sys which is the main schema for Oracle Communications Data Model. This schema contains all the relational and OLAP components of Oracle Communications Data Model, including the Oracle Communications Data Model data mining results tables.
ocdm_mining which is the data mining schema of Oracle Communications Data Model. This schema contains all the mining components of Oracle Communications Data Model except the data mining results tables.
|
See: For detailed information about all created objects in the OCDM_SYS and OCDM_MINING schemas, see the Oracle Communications Data Model Reference. |
There is no data in these two schemas. You need to populate data into the schema.
Sample Reports Installation
When you perform a Sample Reports installation of the Oracle Communications Data Model, the installer creates the Oracle Communications Data Model sample schema in the target database. Specifically, the installer installs:
The following files that provide the data for the reports:
ocdm_sample.dmp.zip which is a dump file of the schemas that contain the sample data for the relational and data mining components of Oracle Communications Data Model.
|
Tip: The default user name for the schema isocdm_sample_sys. |
ocdm_sample.eif which is a dump file containing sample data for the Oracle Communications Data Model analytic workspace (that is, the OLAP cubes).
The following files that define and create the sample reports:
ocdm.rpd
ocdmwebcat.zip
Application Adapters Installation
When you perform an Application Adapters installation, the installer creates the adapter schema in the target database and adds the adapter related files to Oracle Communications Data Model home directory.
|
Note: To complete the installation and configuration with the NCC Adapter and Application Adapters type installation, you need to perform additional steps after running the installer, as described in Appendix A, "NCC Adapter Installation and Configuration". |
The NCC Adapter that is installed with the Application Adapters type installation feeds pre-paid billing data from the Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control application to the Oracle Communications Data Model. The NCC Adapter includes an option to feed data in real-time using Oracle GoldenGate to the Oracle Communications Data Model staging layer, or to extract, load and transform the data in batch mode.
Specifically, the installer creates and installs:
adapters directory and files which contains the Application Adapters files required for Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control Adapter for Oracle Communications Data Model.
Oracle Communications Data Model Home Directory Structure
The installation image contains the following directories under ORACLE_HOME/ocdm:
adapters: which contains the Application Adapters files required for Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control Adapter for Oracle Communications Data Model installation (placed in the ncc directory).
report: which contains the sample report files required for Oracle Communications Data Model installation.
pdm: which contains the physical schema dump, creation script, and lookup value population as listed in the following table.
| Subdirectory | Description |
|---|---|
relational | Relational schema installation scripts and relational related files |
relational/calendar | Calendar data population package |
relational/ddl | Relational schema installation scripts |
relational/intra_etl | Intra-ETL Oracle Warehouse Builder dump and related files |
relational/lookup_value | Lookup data population script |
relational/sample_schema | Physical sample schema |
mining | Data mining scripts and related files |
olap | OLAP scripts and related files |
Installation of Oracle Communications Data Model requires the following tasks:
Read Oracle Communications Data Model Release Notes to identify any last minute changes.
Verify that your system is one of the supported platforms and that it satisfies the hardware and software requirements as described in Chapter 1, "Hardware and Software Requirements."
Identify and perform any necessary pre-installation tasks, as described in "Pre-installation Tasks".
Install the Oracle Communications Data Model component, the Oracle Communications Data Model reports, or Application Adapters as described in "Installer Execution".
Identify and perform any necessary post-installation tasks, as described in "Post-Installation Tasks".
Install the additional components that you need to create an Oracle Communications Data Model data warehouse or run the reports, as described in Chapter 4, "Installation of Additional Components."
|
Note 1: To deinstall Oracle Communications Data Model, you do not simply run the Oracle Universal Installer in deinstall mode. To deinstall Oracle Communications Data Model, follow the directions in Chapter 5, "Backup, Recovery, and Deinstallation of Oracle Communications Data Model." |
|
Note 2: You must deinstall Oracle Communications Data Model before you re-install it over an existing version of Oracle Communications Data Model. |
This chapter describes how to install Oracle components that you did not need to install before you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model component or sample reports, but that you will use when you are creating an Oracle Communications Data Model data warehouse:
There are two ways to execute the Oracle Communications Data Model intra-ETL:
Without using Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow. In this case, you execute the following file:
$Oracle_Home/ocdm/pdm/relational/intra_etl/owb_exec/ocdm_execute_wf.sh
In this case, you do not need to install and configure Workflow as explained in this topic.
Using Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow. The Intra-ETL provided in Oracle Communications Data Model that populates your Oracle Communications Data Model data warehouse uses a process flow designed using the Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow component.
In this case, before you can execute that intra-ETL you must perform the following tasks:
Install Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow, as described in "Installing Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow".
Import the Oracle Communications Data Model intra-ETL into Workflow, as described in "Importing Oracle Communications Data Model Intra-ETL into Workflow".
Configure Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow to work with Oracle Communications Data Model, as described in "Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder Workflow".
To install Oracle Warehouse Builder workflow, take the following steps:
Go to $ORACLE_HOME/owb/wf/install
Execute wfinstall.csh
The Oracle Workflow Configuration Assistant opens.
Enter values for the Workflow account, Workflow, SYS password, and TNS Connect Descriptor.
For TNS Connect Descriptor, use the following syntax where you replace local-host, port-number, and service-name with the appropriate values.
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST=local-host)(PORT = port-number))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = service-name))
Click Submit.
To import the Oracle Communications Data Model intra-ETL into Workflow, take the following steps:
Log into the Design Center of Oracle Warehouse Builder.
Select File, then Import, and then Warehouse Builder Metadata.
For file, specify the following value:
$ORACLE_HOME/ocdm/pdm/relational/intra_etl/owb/OCDM_Intra_ETL.mdl
Select Import selected objects from file, then click Select Object.
Select OLAP _PFLW, then click > (Continue).
Click OK.
Click Import.
After the import, you can see OLAP_PFLW under OCDM_INTRA_ETL project of Oracle Workflow.
To configure Oracle Warehouse Builder workflow to work with Oracle Communications Data Model, take the following steps:
In the Design Center of Oracle Warehouse Builder, select View, and then Location Navigator.
Expand Locations, then Process Flow and Schedules, then Oracle Workflow.
Right click OWF_LOCATION, select Open.
Edit the connection information.
Click Test Connection to test the connection; if successful, click OK.
The sample reports provided with Oracle Communications Data Model are created using the Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition. In order to modify these reports or to use them as the basis for creating new reports you must have installed Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition and have created an Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition catalog for Oracle Communications Data Model.
Installing Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition
If you installed Oracle Communications Data Model sample reports, you installed Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition as a pre-installation step before you ran the installer. If you installed the Oracle Communications Data Model component rather than the sample reports, then install Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition by following the instructions given in "Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition".
You also need to create a catalog. For more information, see "Installing Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Catalog for Oracle Communications Data Model".
|
Tip: To check that Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is installed, follow the instructions in "Confirming that Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition is Installed". |
Although not required before you install Oracle Communications Data Model, you need to install the Analytic Workspace Manager to view and modify Oracle Communications Data Model OLAP cubes. Analytic Workspace Manager 11g is installed as a standalone product. The latest version of Analytic Workspace Manager is available at the Oracle OLAP home page at
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/options/olap/index.html
Installation instructions are included in the documentation.
The Oracle Communications Data Model Installation Guide describes how to install and configure Oracle Communications Data Model.
This guide is intended for anyone responsible for installing Oracle Communications Data Model on a supported operating system platform.
Installation of Oracle Communications Data Model requires basic knowledge of Oracle Database, Oracle OLAP, Oracle Data Mining, Oracle Warehouse Builder, and Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition.
