Question

Oracle Details:-

• tnsnames.ora file:-

  GLOBALDB = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vmxp1)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = globaldb) ) )

  EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = PLSExtProc) (PRESENTATION = RO) ) )

  -Listener

  SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST = (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc) (ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_3) (PROGRAM = extproc) ) )

  LISTENER = (DESCRIPTION_LIST = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.17.132)(PORT = 1521)) ) ) )

How to configure Oracle database for inf repository service.

Answer 1

That happens because you need at least two database accounts to host this repository :

Power_Repository for the repository DB -

Power_Domain for the domain Configuration DB -

For Oracle, you MUST perform the following instruction:

Connect to DB:

Go to Start-> Run-> Type 'cmd'->Then put the same steps listed below:

Introduzca el nombre de usuario: system
Introduzca la contrase±a:

Conectado a:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

SQL> CREATE USER Power_Repository IDENTIFIED BY Power_Repository
  2  DEFAULT tablespace users
  3  TEMPORARY tablespace temp
  4  quota unlimited ON users;

Usuario creado.

Then confirm the connection:

GRANT CONNECT, resource, CREATE VIEW TO Power_Repository;

Now the same steps for Power_Domain., and is done.
