Creating the RCU Schemas

7.1.1 Creating the RCU Schemas

In this section you create the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) schemas in the Oracle Database.

Note:

Before following the steps below, make sure that the Oracle Database and Listener are up and running, and you can connect to the database via SQL*Plus or other client tool.

Run the following command to create a helper pod to run RCU:

If using Oracle Container Registry or your own container registry for the Oracle Access Management (OAM) container image:

kubectl run --image=<image_name-from-registry>:<tag> \
--image-pull-policy="IfNotPresent" \
--overrides='{"apiVersion": "v1", "spec":{"imagePullSecrets": [{"name": "orclcred"}]}}' \
helper -n <domain_namespace> \
-- sleep infinity

For example:

kubectl run --image=container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/oam_cpu:14.1.2.1.0-jdk17-ol8-<YYMMDD> \
--image-pull-policy="IfNotPresent" \
--overrides='{"apiVersion": "v1","spec":{"imagePullSecrets": [{"name": "orclcred"}]}}' \
helper -n oamns \
-- sleep infinity

If you are not using a container registry and have loaded the image on each of the worker nodes, run the following command:
```
kubectl run helper --image <image>:<tag> -n oamns -- sleep infinity
```
For example:
```
kubectl run helper --image oracle/oam_cpu:14.1.2.1.0-jdk17-ol8-<YYMMDD> -n oamns -- sleep infinity
```

The output will look similar to the following:

pod/helper created

Run the following command to check the pod is running:
```
kubectl get pods -n <domain_namespace>
```
For example:
```
kubectl get pods -n oamns
```
The output will look similar to the following:
```
NAME     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
helper   1/1     Running   0          3m
```
Note:
If you are pulling the image from a container registry it may take several minutes before the pod has a READY status of 1\1. While the pod is starting you can check the status of the pod, by running the following command:
```
kubectl describe pod helper -n oamns
```
Run the following command to start a bash shell in the helper pod:
```
kubectl exec -it helper -n <domain_namespace> -- /bin/bash
```
For example:
```
kubectl exec -it helper -n oamns -- /bin/bash
```
This will take you into a bash shell in the running helper pod:
```
[oracle@helper ~]$
```
In the helper bash shell run the following commands to set the environment:
```
export CONNECTION_STRING=<db_host.domain>:<db_port>/<service_name>
```
```
export RCUPREFIX=<rcu_schema_prefix>
```
```
echo -e <db_pwd>"\n"<rcu_schema_pwd> > /tmp/pwd.txt
```
```
cat /tmp/pwd.txt
```
Where:
- <db_host.domain>:<db_port>/<service_name> is your database connect string.
- <rcu_schema_prefix> is the RCU schema prefix you want to set.
- <db_pwd> is the SYS password for the database.
- <rcu_schema_pwd> is the password you want to set for the <rcu_schema_prefix>
For example:
```
export CONNECTION_STRING=mydatabasehost.example.com:1521/orcl.example.com
```
```
export RCUPREFIX=OAMK8S
```
```
echo -e <password>"\n"<password> > /tmp/pwd.txt
```
```
cat /tmp/pwd.txt
```
Ensure the cat /tmp/pwd.txt command shows the correct passwords.

In the helper bash shell, run the following command to create the RCU schemas in the database:

/u01/oracle/oracle_common/bin/rcu -silent -createRepository -databaseType ORACLE -connectString \
$CONNECTION_STRING -dbUser sys -dbRole sysdba -useSamePasswordForAllSchemaUsers true \
-selectDependentsForComponents true -schemaPrefix $RCUPREFIX -component MDS -component IAU \
-component IAU_APPEND -component IAU_VIEWER -component OPSS -component WLS -component STB -component OAM -f < /tmp/pwd.txt

The output will look similar to the following:

RCU Logfile: /tmp/RCU<DATE>/logs/rcu.log
