| Change type | Description |
|---|---|
| Updated in version 6.2 | Added information about how Install Metabase automatically configures XStream Out when XStream Out is enabled. |
Before you can install the metabase, you must have already defined a server. The Install Metabase process prompts you for information to connect to your Oracle server and, depending on the status of the metabase that it detects, lets you create the metabase database and objects, or upgrade the metabase objects.
The metabase objects are stored in a tablespace on your source. You designate an existing tablespace, or the Install Metabase process can create a tablespace for you.
If no copy of the metabase already exists at this source, have the ID and password for a system administrator available for this instance.
During a metabase install, Connect CDC Director creates the following:
-
Replication database
-
The replication user (if not already created) and grants privileges
-
Required tables, indexes and procedures
XStream Out
When Enable XStream Out is selected on the server, running Install Metabase sets up the XStream Out configuration automatically. No additional steps are required beyond running Install Metabase.
For setup steps, see Enable XStream Out for an Oracle server.
