How to Install and Configure the MDB for Oracle on Linux
This section explains how to install and configure the CA Management
Database (MDB) for Oracle on a Linux computer. This support is introduced
with Unicenter Service Management r11.2 SP1 Cumulative Fix Pack 2 (FP2).
The MDB is the common, shared database for one or more CA products. The
MDB provides the database schema required by Unicenter Service
Management and other CA products. If you plan to use Oracle on Linux as
your DBMS for Unicenter Service Management r11.2 SP1 FP2, perform these
tasks to install and configure the MDB:
1.
Review the Management Database documentation, which is supplied with
other documents on the Unicenter Service Management installation media.
Note the most applicable information for your implementation plans, and
keep it on hand for reference.
2.
Ensure that Oracle is installed and running.
Apply all Oracle patches and other maintenance.
For details, see your Oracle documentation.
3.
If the MDB is installed already in your environment, verify your MDB
version by checking the MDB table in your Oracle database. For assistance,
see your Oracle documentation.
Unicenter Service Management r11.2 SP1 supplies and supports MDB
r1.0.4.
If you have this MDB version installed already, skip the steps for installing
the MDB but complete the later steps to configure the MDB for use with
Unicenter Service Management.
4.
Install and configure the MDB manually in Linux, as follows:
a.
Download and copy the hot fix named QO99806 from
//ca.com/support, copy it to a temporary location on the Windows
computer.
b.
Install the MDB manually.
c.
Configure the MDB manually.
For instructions, see the sections that follow.
5.
Install Unicenter Service Management r11.2 SP1. For instructions, see its
Implementation Guide, which is available at //ca.com/support.
6.
Install Cumulative Fix Pack 2 (FP2) for Unicenter Service Management
r11.2 SP1. Instructions are supplied with the fixpack. Both are available at
//ca.com/support.
1
Download and Copy the Hot-Fix
Downloading and copying the hot fix is the first required procedure for
installing and configuring the MDB.
To download and copy the hot fix
1.
Download the hot fix named QO99806 at //ca.com/support and copy it to
a temporary location on the Windows computer.
2.
Navigate to the location where you copied the hot fix (for example \tmp)
and enter the following command:
cazipxp –u QO99806.caz
The hot fix contains the r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux.tar file.
3.
Ftp r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux.tar file to the temporary location on the
Linux computer where Oracle is installed.
4.
Navigate to the location where you copied the hot fix (/tmp/QO99806) and
enter the following command
tar -xvf r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux.tar
This action creates the folder named r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux.tar.
5.
Change the owner of the MDB source directory to the Oracle database
owner (for example, oracle) and group (for an example, oinstall, a group
owner of Oracle files), using the following sample command as a model:
Chown -R oracle:oinstall /tmp/QO99806/r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux/
The remainder of this document uses the convention $fixpack_home to
refer to the directory /tmp/QO99806/r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux/.
Record the exact value of $fixpack_home on your computer, for use in
later steps.
In addition, the following file sets are extracted to the new directory from
the r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux file:
■
MDB script with installation patch
setup_mdb\
mdb-unix-ora-1.0.4-030o.tar.gz
ora_mdb030_manual_16847144.tar.gz
■
MDB Post–installation patch; you apply this patch after you have
installed the MDB
–
ora_mdb030_15875618.tar.gz
–
ora_mdb030_16291505.tar.gz

Install the MDB for Oracle on Linux Manually
Important! If you have already installed the MDB for Oracle on Linux, skip
this section. Otherwise, follow these steps to install the MDB.
To install the MDB for Oracle on Linux manually
1.
Navigate to $fixpack_home, for example,
/tmp/QO99806/r11.2.1_mdb_oracle_linux/.
2.
Navigate to the setup_mdb directory.
3.
Enter the following commands:
tar –zxvf mdb-unix-ora-1.0.4-030o.tar.gz
tar –zxvf ora_mdb030_manual_16847144.tar.gz
For further details, see the readme files for the mdb-unix-ora-1.0.4-030o
or ora_mdb030_manual_16847144 packages.
4.
Navigate to the directory named ora_mdb030_manual_16847144, and
enter the following command to apply the installation fix patches:
./copyInstallFiles -TARGET_PATH=$fixpack_home/mdb-unix-ora-1.0.4-030o
5.
If the MDB target directory does not exist already, enter the following
command to create it:
mkdir -p /opt/mdb1.0.4
6.
Change the owner of the MDB target directory to the Oracle database
owner (for example, oracle) and group (for an example, oinstall, a group
owner of Oracle files), using the following sample commands as a model:
chown oracle:oinstall /opt/mdb1.0.4
chmod –R 755 $fixpack_home/setup_mdb/mdb-unix-ora-1.0.4-030o
Note: This document uses “oracle” throughout as the name of the Oracle
database owner. If your value is different, use your value instead.
7.
Log in as the Oracle database owner (oracle) and navigate to the mdbunix-ora-1.0.4-030o directory:
su – oracle
cd $fixpack_home/setup_mdb/mdb-unix-ora-1.0.4-030o
3
8.
If the MDB schema does not already exist, run the following command to
create it. For further details, see the setupmdb script file.
./setupmdb -ORA_CONNECT_ID={connectionID|global database name}
-ORA_SYS_PSWD=systemuserpassword
-ORA_TBLSPACE_PATH=tablespacepath
-MDB_ADMIN_PSWD=mdbadminpassword
-MDB_TARGET_DIR=directory
where:
-ORA_CONNECT_ID={connectionID|global database name}This parameter
is required; specify either the connectionID or the global database name,
as follows:
■
If the global database name and the SID are the same, specify the
Oracle service name (such as “orcl”) as the connectionID. The global
database name is the name of the Oracle database that was specified
during the Oracle installation.
■
If the global database name and the SID are different, specify the
global database name.
-ORA_SYS_PSWD=systemuserpassword is the Oracle system user ID
password and is required.
-ORA_TBLSPACE_PATH-=tablespacepath is the directory path where
tablespaces will be created and is required.
-MDB_ADMIN_PSWD=mdbadminpassword is the password to be
established for the table owner “mdbadmin” and is required.
For example, the following command will create the MDB in the
“/opt/oracle/oradata/orcl” tablespace path using the default size using a
“sys” admin password of “mysyspswd” and establishes the password for
the mdbadmin table owner as “mymdbadminpswd”.
./setupmdb -ORA_CONNECT_ID=orcl -ORA_SYS_PSWD=ca
-ORA_TBLSPACE_PATH=/opt/oracle/oradata/orcl -MDB_ADMIN_PSWD=ca
-MDB_TARGET_DIR=/opt/mdb1.0.4
You are now ready to configure the MDB for Oracle manually.

Configure the MDB for Oracle on Linux Manually
After installing the MDB, you must configure it.
To configure the MDB for Oracle on Linux manually
1.
On the Oracle server, open a command window, navigate to
$fixpack_home and enter the following commands:
tar –zxvf mdb030_15875618.tar.gz
tar –zxvf ora_mdb030_16291505.tar.gz
For further details, see the readme files for the patch set files.
2.
Change mode and log in as the oracle db owner user, using the following
sample commands as a model:
chmod –R 755 $fixpack_home/ora_mdb030_15875618
chmod –R 755 $fixpack_home/ora_mdb030_16291505
su – oracle
3.
Navigate to the $fixpack_home/ora_mdb030_15875618/mdb15875618/
directory and enter the following command to apply the CA Workflow-MDB
patch manually:
./patchMdb -ORA_CONNECT_ID=orcl -MDB_NAME=mdb -MDB_ADMIN_PSWD=ca
-ORA_INDEX_TBLSPACE_NAME=mdb_index -MDB_PATCH=15875618
4.
Navigate to the $fixpack_home/ora_mdb030_16291505/mdb16291505/
directory and run the following command to apply the MDB patch
manually:
./patchMdb -ORA_CONNECT_ID=orcl -MDB_NAME=mdb -MDB_ADMIN_PSWD=ca
-ORA_BACKUP=no -ORA_INDEX_TBLSPACE_NAME=mdb_index -MDB_PATCH=16291505
Note: For more information about the patch mdb command, enter the
following command at the command prompt:
./PatchMDB -?

5.
Navigate to the $fixpack_home directory and run the following command
to upgrade the MDB schema and configure the MDB:
./configureOracleMDB.sh -USM_USER=username
-USM_USER_PSWD=password
-ORA_CONNECT_ID={connectionID|global database name}
-ORA_SYS_USER=systemuser
-ORA_SYS_PSWD=systemuserpassword
where:
-USM_USER=username is the user ID to be established for use by the
Unicenter Service Management products when accessing the database
(default if omitted is “usmuser”)
-USM_USER_PSWD=password is the password for the username specified
in USM_USER
-ORA_CONNECT_ID={connectionID|global database name} This
parameter is required; specify either the connectionID or the global
database name, as follows:
■
If the global database name and the SID are the same, specify the
Oracle service name (such as “orcl”) as the connectionID. The global
database name is the name of the Oracle database that was specified
during the Oracle installation.
■
If the global database name and the SID are different, specify the
global database name.
-ORA_SYS_USER=systemuser is the Oracle system user ID (default if
omitted is “sys”).
-ORA_SYS_PSWD=systemuserpassword is the Oracle system user ID
password and is required.
For example, the following command will establish the database user ID as
“usmuser” and the password as “caadmin1!” using a connection ID of
“orcl” and an Oracle system user “sys” password of “mysyspswd”.
./configureOracleMDB.sh –USM_USER=usmuser –USM_USER_PSWD=caadmin1!
-ORA_CONNECT_ID=orcl -ORA_SYS_USER=sys -ORA_SYS_PSWD=mysyspswd
Installation log files are located in $fixpack_home/configureOracleMDB.log.
