Installing MobileFirst Platform Server v7.1 on WAS ND - Step 2

ORACLE DATABASE

For simplicity, I made the decision to do all of the database interaction in one go. You can do it at separate times, but as this task is usually done by a DBA on a different environment, it's just easier to do it all in one go (as they would).

Here, all we are doing is creating the Oracle users that are needed, granting them the correct access rights and then running the scripts that are needed to create the sequences, tables etc ... for those specific users.

Now, I will point out that I did have some "fun" with Oracle sqlplus. It just refused to let me execute the .sql files in their original locations. In the end I move the 3 .sql files to the / tmp folder and started the sqlplus command line from there and just executed them. There is probably a better way / proper way of doing this, but you'll get the same end result. As I say, the DBA would usually be doing this anyway, so all you have to be aware of is, these tasks are done and completed BEFORE you move onto the next steps.
