Configure oracle software

Configure oracle software

Configure oracle net

1. Teamcenter uses Oracle Net protocols to communicate with an Oracle database.
2. These protocols require that you run a listener process (OracleTNSListener) on the Oracle server to listen for remote connect requests and that all clients can translate the service alias identifying the server and database.

Configure oracle listener

1. Start oracle net manager.
2. Start→All Programs→Oracle -instance-name→Configuration and Migration Tools→Net Manager.
3. Or search for Net Manager.

Create a listener.ora file

• Expand Local icon.
• select Listener folder and choose Edit→Create.
• Accept the default listener name (LISTENER) and click OK.
• Click the Add Address button.
• Specify the port number.
• In the Local tree, click Profile.
• In the Naming list (to the right of the Oracle Net Configuration tree), choose General.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• In the TNS Time Out Value box, type 10.
• Save the listener information, choose File→Save Network Configuration.

Oracle Net Manager saves the listener information and creates the network\admin\listener.ora and network\admin\sqlnet.ora files in the Oracle home directory.

Exit Oracle Net Manager, choose File→Exit.

In a command prompt, create and start the listener service:

cd ORACLE_HOME\bin lsnrctl start LISTENER

Replace ORACLE_HOME with the path to the directory where you installed the Oracle server, for example, d:\app\infodba\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1. This command creates and starts the service if it does not exist. If the service exists, the command starts it.

Do you Know :

⏩For the first listener, Siemens PLM Software recommends accepting the default port number (1521).

⏩Record the number of the port used by the Oracle database server listener for an entry during corporate server installation. Teamcenter Environment Manager requires this port number.

⏩This step sets the Oracle server-side SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME parameter. This value determines how often the Oracle server checks for aborted client connections. Teamcenter requires that this parameter be set to a nonzero value and the recommended value is 10 (10 minutes).

• exit

Backup of oracle installation

1. Before upgrading a new version of oracle backup an existing version of the oracle.
2. Back up the following :
1. The Oracle home directory on each installed workstation.
2. The directories containing database files for each configured database.
3. The Oracle Net listener.ora and tnsnames.ora configuration files.

Upgrading oracle :

there are two ways to upgrade the oracle server and database:

1. Oracle installer.
2. Uninstalling/reinstalling Oracle.

Using oracle installer :

1. Launch oracle installer.
2. When the Oracle installer prompts you to upgrade existing databases, enter the required information about the databases you want to upgrade.

Using  uninstalling and reinstalling

1. Remove existing Oracle databases.
2. Uninstall all existing Oracle server software.
3. Install oracle server then Configure oracle and create an Oracle database.
4. After completing the installation, import your Teamcenter database from the oracle dump file into a new oracle database.

ORACLE_HOME\bin\imp db-user/password fromuser=db-user touser=db-user file=file-name.dmp log=import.log

 

replace a user and password with your system administrator password.

Do you Know :

The sys user must be in the Oracle sysdba group for the Oracle system identifier (SID) used by Teamcenter. To connect as internal (without a password), the account must be part of the ORA_DBA local group in Windows.

Upgrade oracle installation

Do you know

⏩The operating system user account under which you install the Oracle database server

⏩must have system administrator privileges. Siemens recommends you create a system user account named oracle to use during Oracle installation. When you use the oracle account to install Oracle, this account is automatically added to the Windows ORA_DBA local group, giving it SYSDBA privileges.

⏩Do not install a later version of Oracle into an existing Oracle home directory that contains an earlier version.

What is teamcenter Administrator account ?

What is the Teamcenter Administrator account?

Administrative privileges are required to manage Teamcenter administrative data like organization, access rules, and workflows. Administration accounts have powerful access to data and must be controlled and managed with caution.

Important Points :

• The infodba account has all the Teamcenter system-level privileges.
• The Bypass administrative setting supersedes other privileges.
• Members of the dba group with the DBA role have a complete system privileges.

For each group :

• Create at least one member who acts as the administrator for that group. Group administrators can assign other group administrators in their group.
• Create a DBA role to manage roles for that group and assign the group administrator. The DBA role for a user in a non-dba group has no additional privileges over any other group member.

What are the Characteristics of the infodba account?

The infodba account has all the Teamcenter system-level privileges, including a bypass switch to override access protections. The infodba account has special access permissions applied to the data they create.
