Database Configuration Type

You can use this screen to specify the information for connecting to the database to retrieve schema information that will be used to populate the schema fields on subsequent component schema screens (JDBC Component Schema, GridLink Oracle RAC Component Schema, or Oracle RAC Multi Data Source Component Schema). You also have the option to skip this step and manually configure each component schema on the component schema screen.

Select one of the following options.

Field Description

RCU Data

Select this option if you want to connect to the database to retrieve schema information for all schemas that are defined in the templates you selected on the Templates screen. If you select this option, the fields on this screen are activated. Fill in each field, using the connection information that you specified for the Service Table component in the Repository Creation Utility (RCU). When done, click Get RCU Configuration to retrieve the schema information.

After successfully retrieving the schema information, click Next to continue.

Note: The only JDBC connections that are supported are the Oracle service type JDBC connections that are supported by RCU.

Embedded Database (JavaDB)

This option is available and selected by default only if you are creating a compact domain and you selected the Oracle JRF template on the Templates screen.

If you select this option, the component schema that has a corresponding <dev-database /> entry (with apply-defaults=true) in database.xml will use the pre-seeded JavaDB database, and these component schemas will not be displayed in the next JDBC Component Schema screen. Any other component schemas that do not have a <dev-database /> entry in database.xml will be displayed for configuration on that screen and you must configure them.

After selecting this option, click Next to continue.

Manual Configuration

If you select this option, you must manually configure the settings for each schema. Note that some of the fields in the schema table on the component schema screen are populated with the default Java database values, for example, Host Name is set to dbhost.example for all schemas.

After selecting this option, click Next to continue.


Complete the following fields for the Use RCU Parameters option, and then click Get RCU Configuration. More

Field Description

Vendor

Select the database vendor.

Driver

Select the JDBC driver that is configured for the database. The list includes common JDBC drivers for the selected database vendor.

DBMS/Service

Enter the database DBMS name, or service name if you selected a service type driver.

Host Name

Enter the name of the server hosting the database.

Port

Enter the port number to be used to connect to the server that hosts the database.

Schema Owner

Schema Password

Enter the username and password for connecting to the database's service table schema. This is the schema username and password that was specified for the Service Table component on the "Schema Passwords" screen of the Repository Creation Utility (RCU). The default username is prefix_STB, where prefix is the prefix that you defined in RCU. More
