2.3. Oracle setup

2.3.1. Script to configure QL database

From now on, we can follow this guide or run a script which will create tablespaces, the application user, will set up all parameters not affecting memory and will back up the startup files before and after the changes. In case you run this script to configure the database in your installation, you can follow this manual in section 2.9.2. Importing a database.

Create a file named cfgql.bat as shown below:

The content of the file cfgql.sql below is valid for computers with Oracle 11g installed, and four hard drive units named c (for system), d (for data), e (for indexes and log) and f (for backup).


Page 66 of 81

Copy all this text into a file named cfgql.sql:

2.4. DATAMG, IDXMG and LOGMG tablespace creation

The purpose of the following sections is showing how to manually manage Oracle configuration.

THESE SECTIONS CAN BE SKIPPED IF THE SCRIPT ABOVE HAS BEEN RUN.

GO DIRECTLY TO SECTION 2.6.2. Importing a database.

This section explains how to create the required tablespaces using the database control website (Enterprise Manager).

A tablespace is a logical storage structure containing all application segments (tables, views, sequences, indexes…). Each tablespace has some datafiles linked, which are physical files in the disk. Tablespace definition varies on each project, but we should at least create following:

Data Tablespace Index Tablespace Logs Tablespace

Some time ago, to improve performance, data files related with these tablespaces where allocated in different disk units. Nowadays in RAC configurations with ASM, ASM itself manages and optimizes disk loads, so, if we do not have enough volumes in a rack, we can have files from different tablespaces in a single ASM disk.

We are now about to create the tablespaces required for our application: DATAMG (configure as default), IDXMG and LOGMG

Launch the Database Control Tool from the Start Menu Oracle – OraDb11g_home1:

Log in Oracle Enterprise Manager tool:


Page 68 of 81

This will open the EM main screen:


Page 69 of 81

From SERVER tab, choose Tablespaces in the Storage section.

This will open the Tablespace management screen:


Page 70 of 81

Click ‘Create’ and fill in the following information:

Tablespace name: type in the name of the tablespace to be created.

Extent Management: Locally managed

Type: Permanent. Only DATAMG is set as default permanent tablespace.

Status: Read/Write


Page 71 of 81

Now click ‘Add’ to add a new datafile:

Usually, and following Oracle recommendations for a standard installation, we will create four 1 GB Datafiles, increment 512Mb and with 5 GB maximum file size. We should study initial file size, its growing rate and let someone manage and supervise these files.

Click ‘Continue’ to create the data file with the selected parameters.

File name: DATAMG01.DBF

File Directory: C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\QL\DATAFILE

File Size: 1 GB

Automatically extend datafile when full (AUTOEXTEND): Select

Increment: 512 MB

Maximum File Size: Check ‘Value’ and select 5 GB

Repeat this operation for all datafiles: DATAMG01.DBF, DATAMG02.DBF, DATAMG03.DBF and DATAMG04.DBF.

We have to do the same for Tablespaces IDXMG, used for indexes (4 datafiles IDXMG01.DBF, IDXMG02.DBF, IDXMG03.DBF, and IDXMG04.DBF) and apply the same size policy.

We do also create Tablespace LOGMG, used for LOG storage (one datafile LOGMG01.DBF) and apply the same size policy.


Page 72 of 81

2.5. Create user QL

From tab SERVER, under SECURITY section, click ‘Users’.

Click button ‘Create’, and fill in the required information:

User name: ql Profile: Default Authentication: Password Password: ql Default Tablespace: DATAMG Temporary Tablespace: TEMP Status: Unlocked


Page 73 of 81

User ql/ql needs some special rights.

Go to ‘Roles’ tab.

Click ‘Edit List’ and add RESOURCE Role

Click ‘Ok’ when the role has been added.

To modify user privileges, go to ‘SYSTEM PRIVILEGES’ and click ‘Edit List’ to add UNLIMITED TABLESPACE privilege:


Page 74 of 81

Add the required privilege, and click ‘Ok’ when it has been correctly added:


Page 75 of 81

2.6. DATABASE FOR DMS

2.6.1. Setup Directory Objects

NOTICE: This step can be skipped if the database configuration script was run. Go directly to section 2.6.2. Importing a database.

The tools used in previous Oracle versions to import/export databases are now considered obsolete: they are available in the installation package, but they are no longer the recommended way to create exports and imports of database schemas. They are supposed to disappear from Oracle in some time.

To do these tasks, there are two new tools, named impdp and expdp (Import Data Pump / Export Data Pump). Benefits of these new tools are:

Recommended by Oracle

More reliability and better support than the older ones.

Exported files use up less space: files need 20% to 30% less disk space

Export / Import processes are faster

There are more configuration options, that, sometimes, might be useful

First of all, we need to prepare our Oracle installation to use them (to import as well as export). This consists of configuring a folder to create the exports/imports in Oracle.

Go to Enterprise Manager ‘Schema’ ‘Directory Objects’

Once there, a new directory must be created. Click ‘Create’:


Page 76 of 81

Assign a name to the directory and a path in the file system. If the selected path does not exist in the hard drive, it has to be created there too. The values proposed are:

Name: QL_EXP F:\QL_dmp\ in systems with several hard drive units or C:\QL_dmp\ for systems with one hard drive

only.

Clicking on ‘Test File System’ will check the availability of the selected path for the new directory. Oracle will ask the user name and password of the operating system (host computer) to access the path. A summary screen is shown after the test process:

Click ‘Return’ to go back to the directory creation screen, and click ‘Ok’ to confirm the directory creation:


Page 77 of 81

Now the directory required for export/import tasks has been successfully created:

2.6.2. Importing a database

Once Oracle 11g has been successfully installed and configured, a new database instance has to be created. To do this, a clean database will be imported, which will be used as a base to configure the application software.

It is important to know the following details of the exported database:

Application version of the exported database. Name of the exported database User who created the export

The required file must have been created using the ‘Expdp’ method. To import it into our database, the following script must be entered in a command prompt window:

impdp system/werfen DIRECTORY=QL_EXP DUMPFILE=inova_ql_2105.expdp

REMAP_SCHEMA=inova:ql

This will import the file ‘inova_ql_2105.expdp’ (data owned by user ql in the database where the data was exported), located in directory ‘c:\QL_dmp’ into user ‘ql’.


Page 78 of 81

2.6.3. Export a schema database

To export a database we already have configured or to back it up, we will make an export.

Is advisable that no users are connected to the database when we are about to create the export.

The following script must be typed in a command prompt window:

expdp system/werfen DIRECTORY=QL_EXP DUMPFILE=inova_ql_2105.expdp SCHEMAS=ql

This will export the schema of user ‘ql’ into the file ‘inova_ql_2105.expdp’ located in directory ‘c:\QL_dmp’.

2.6.4. Export file naming convention

To be able to identify correctly exportation files, it’s advised to use following naming for export files:

InstallName_user _Application_version.expdp

Where InstallName is a short name identifying the Hospital this database belongs to.

Application_version is the database and/or application version of the system where the export was made from.

User is the database user who makes the exports.

For example, if we export a database installed in Hospital St. Paul, Application software version 2.1.04, exported by user QL, the proponed name following this guideline would be: StPaul_ql _2104.expdp


Page 79 of 81

ANEX I. Database backup

Backup files are made using a backup command, rman, an Oracle tool, which we shall copy to F:\Backup (in case we have only one disk unit, copy it in c:\oracle\backup). Inside we will find the necessary scripts to make a backup (from the command line or batch file configured in the oracle database schedule)

Use of Rman command to backup:

Create a new scheduled task in Windows. To do so:

If you use a specific program on a regular basis, you can use the Task Scheduler wizard to create a task that opens the program for you automatically according to the schedule you choose. For example, if you use a financial program on a certain day each month, you can schedule a task that opens the program automatically to avoid the risk of forgetting to open it yourself.

1. Open Task Scheduler by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Task

Scheduler. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2. Click the Action menu, and then click Create Basic Task.

3. Type a name for the task and an optional description, and then click Next.

4. Do one of the following:

To select a schedule based on the calendar, click Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or One time, click Next; specify the schedule you want to use, and then click Next.

To select a schedule based on common recurring events, click When the computer starts or When I log on, and then click Next.

To select a schedule based on specific events, click When a specific event is logged, click Next; specify the event log and other information using the drop-down lists, and then click Next.

5. To schedule a program to start automatically, click Start a program, and then click Next. Select the daily_copy.bat created following the instructions in this document.
