Using the Repository Creation Utility

Set up Repository Creation Utility (RCU) schemas for configuring Oracle Forms and Reports.

Note:

Running RCU is not required for domains that will be based on the Oracle Forms Development template.

After you install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and create your Oracle home, start RCU from the ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/bin directory and set up schemas.

Run $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/bin/rcu.sh (rcu.bat on MS Windows).. Unless otherwise noted, click Next to continue to the next screen.

Screen	Description
Welcome	This screen introduces you to RCU.
Create Repository	Select Create Repository, then select System Load and Product Load (default). Database `sysdba` privileges are required.

The Checking Prerequisites dialog appears showing the progress of prerequisites checking. When the database checking has completed without errors, click OK to close the dialog and go to the next screen. Note: You may be see a warning that explains the possible impact of not enabling the database "editions" option. If you are not familiar with this option, refer to Using Edition-Based Redefinition in the Oracle Database Development Guide for details.

It is recommended that you write down these values. Select Oracle AS Repository Components to select all components. The Checking Prerequisites dialog appears showing the progress of prerequisites checking. When it completes, click OK to close the dialog and go to the next screen.

If you would like to choose a different password for each of schema, choose one of the other options and enter the requested passwords. Note: Remember the passwords you enter on this screen. You will need this information during the configuration phase of the product installation.

When done, click Next. The Repository Creation Utility dialog appears prompting you to confirm that you want to create these tablespaces. Click OK to close the dialog and proceed. The Creating Tablespaces dialog appears showing the progress of tablespace creation. After the tablespaces are created, click OK to close this dialog and go to the next screen.
