6 Configuring the Domain for a Standalone Agent

To begin domain configuration, navigate to the ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin directory and start the WebLogic Server Configuration Wizard.

On UNIX operating systems:

./config.sh

On Microsoft Windows operating systems:

config.cmd

To create and configure the domain for the topology:

1. On the Configuration Type screen, select Create a New Domain.

   In the Domain Location field, specify your Domain home directory.

   It is recommended that you locate your Domain home in accordance with the directory structure summarized in Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure, where the Domain home is located outside the Oracle home directory. This directory structure will help you avoid issues when you need to upgrade or reinstall your software.

   Tip:

   More information about the Domain home directory can be found in Choosing a Domain Home.

   More information about the other options on this screen can be found in Configuration Type.

2. On the Templates screen, select the following template:

   Oracle Data Integrator - Standalone Agent

3. On the JDK Selection screen, select the JDK on your system that is certified for use with Oracle Fusion Middleware.

4. Select RCU Data to activate the fields on this screen. The RCU Data option instructs the Configuration Wizard to connect to the database and Service Table (STB) schema to automatically retrieve schema information for the schemas needed to configure the domain.

   Note:

   If you choose to select Manual Configuration on this screen, you will have to manually fill in the parameters for your schema on the JDBC Component Schema screen.

   After selecting RCU Data, fill in the following fields:

   Field	Description
   DBMS/Service	Enter the database DBMS name, or service name if you selected a service type driver.
   Host Name	Enter the name of the server hosting the database.
   Port	Enter the port number on which the database listens.
   Schema Owner Schema Password	Enter the user name and password for connecting to the database's Service Table schema. This is the schema user name and password that was specified for the Service Table component on the "Schema Passwords" screen in RCU (see Creating the Database Schema). The default user name is prefix_STB, where prefix is the custom prefix that you defined in RCU.

   Click RCU Data when you are finished specifying the database connection information. The following output in the Connection Result Log indicates that the operation succeeded:

   Connecting to the database server...OK
   Retrieving schema data from database server...OK
   Binding local schema components with retrieved data...OK
   
   Successfully Done.
   

   Tip:

   More information about the RCU Data option can be found in Understanding the Service Table Schema.

   More information about the other options on this screen can be found in Datasource Defaults.

5. Verify that the values on the JDBC Component Schema screen are correct for all schemas. If you selected RCU Data on the previous screen, the schema table should already be populated appropriately.

   Tip:

   For high availability environments, see the following sections in High Availability Guide for additional information on configuring data sources for Oracle RAC databases:

   • Configuring GridLink Data Sources with Oracle RAC

   • Configuring Multi Data Sources

   More information about the other options on this screen can be found in JDBC Component Schema.

6. Use the JDBC Component Schema Test screen to test the datasource connections you have just configured.

   A green check mark in the Status column indicates a successful test. If you encounter any issues, see the error message in the Connection Result Log section of the screen, fix the problem, then try to test the connection again.

   Tip:

   More information about the other options on this screen can be found in Test Component Schema.

7. Use the System Component screen to create a new ODI system component. Click Add and do the following:

   1. Under System Component, you can either use the default ODI component (OracleDIAgent1) name, or specify a name of your choice.

   2. Under Component Type, ensure that ODI is selected from the drop-down list.

   Tip:

   More information about the options on this screen can be found in System Components in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

8. Use the ODI Server Configuration screen to configure access to your ODI server:

   Field	Description
   System Component	Select the ODI system component (OracleDIAgent1).
   Server Listen Address	Specify the IP address of the server where the ODI server should listen. Do not use "localhost."
   Server Listen Port	Enter the port number on which ODI server listens.
   Supervisor Username	Specify SUPERVISOR as the user name.
   Supervisor Password	Specify the Supervisor user password, as specified during schema creation.
   Preferred Datasource	Use the default OdiMasterRepository; do not change this field.

   Tip:

   More information about the options on this screen can be found in ODI Server Configuration.

9. The Node Manager screen can be used to select the type of Node Manager you want to configure, along with the Node Manager credentials.

   Select Per Domain as the Node Manager type, then specify the Node Manager credentials. You will be asked for these credentials when starting your system component with the startComponent command.

   Tip:

   More information about the options on this screen can be found in Node Manager.

   More information about the types of Node Manager can be found in Node Manager Overview.

10. The Configuration Summary screen contains the detailed configuration information for the domain you are about to create. Review the details of each item on the screen and verify that the information is correct.

    You can go back to any previous screen if you need to make any changes, either by using the Back button or by selecting the screen in the navigation pane.

    Domain creation will not begin until you click Create.

    Tip:

    More information about the options on this screen can be found in Configuration Summary.

    Click Finish to terminate the Configuration Wizard.

To start your domain Node Manager, go to the DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory.

On UNIX operating systems, start the Node Manager using nohup and nm.out as an example output file:

nohup ./startNodeManager.sh > nm.out&

On Windows operating systems, run:

startNodeManager.cmd

For information about additional Node Manager configuration options, see Administering Node Manager for Oracle WebLogic Server.

To start an ODI standalone agent when using Node Manager:

1. Go to the DOMAIN_HOME/bin directory.

2. Start the agent:

   • (UNIX) ./startComponent.sh OracleDIAgent1

   • (Windows) startComponent.cmd OracleDIAgent1

3. At the prompt, enter the Administrator password for the domain.

To verify that your agent was started successfully, go to the following URL in your browser:
