Oracle SOA Suite components require schemas that must be installed in the Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database. You create and load these schemas in your database with the Repository Creation Utility (RCU). For information about installing and configuring your schemas, see Installing and Configuring Oracle SOA Suite and Business Process Management and Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

If you use the Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start installation in a development environment, the schema is automatically created in the Java database for you. For more information, see Installing SOA Suite and Business Process Management Suite Quick Start for Developers.
