How to Run Repository Creation Utility

(RCU) and Create a Repository


Introduction
The Repository Creation Utility (RCU) is a tool used to create and manage database schemas
for Oracle Fusion Middleware components. This document explains the detailed steps to
run RCU and create a repository, along with explanations of all the options available in the
tool.

1. Download and Install RCU


RCU is included in the Oracle Fusion Middleware installation package. You can download
the RCU from the Oracle website if needed.
Once downloaded, unzip the package and navigate to the 'rcuHome/bin' directory.

2. Launch RCU
Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the RCU directory, and use the following
commands to launch RCU:
- For Linux/Unix: ./rcu
- For Windows: rcu.bat

3. Select Operation
Upon launching RCU, you will be prompted to select the operation:
- Create Repository: To create a new repository (schemas).
- Drop Repository: To delete an existing repository from the database.
Select 'Create Repository' and click 'Next'.

4. Database Connection Details


Enter the details of the database where the repository will be created:
- Database Type: Select Oracle Database.
- Host Name: Enter the database host machine's name or IP address.
- Port: Default is 1521, but change if needed.
- Service Name: The database service name (e.g., 'orcl').
- Username: Database admin user (e.g., 'SYS' or 'SYSTEM').
- Password: Admin password.
- Role: Set to 'SYSDBA'.
Click 'Next' to test the connection.
5. Select Components
RCU will retrieve metadata from the database, and you will be prompted to select the
components to install. Components include:
- AS Common Schemas
- Metadata Services (MDS)
- WebLogic Services
Select the required components based on your Oracle product configuration.

6. Schema Passwords
Each component will require one or more schemas. You can either set the same password
for all schemas or define individual passwords:
- Use Same Password for All Schemas: One password for all schemas.
- Custom Passwords: Define separate passwords for each schema.
Once done, click 'Next'.

7. Map Tablespaces
Schemas need tablespaces for data storage. You can either let RCU create the required
tablespaces automatically, or you can map schemas to existing ones:
- Default Tablespace: Displays the tablespace used for schema storage.
- Temp Tablespace: Temporary tablespace for schema operations.
You can modify the tablespace names or sizes, or proceed with the defaults.

8. Summary
The Summary page displays a review of all your selections, including the selected
components, schema names, and tablespace mappings. Review everything carefully, and if
correct, click 'Create' to begin the repository creation process.

9. Create Repository
RCU will now create the repository in the database. The process may take a few minutes
depending on the components you selected.

10. Completion
Once the repository creation is complete, you will see a confirmation message. Click 'Close'
to exit the RCU.
Options in Repository Creation Utility (RCU)
Here are the common options available in RCU:
- Create Repository: Used to create a new repository of schemas.
- Drop Repository: Deletes an existing repository.
- Component Selection: Allows selection of individual components such as Metadata
Services, WebLogic Services, etc.
- Schema Passwords: Set the same or custom passwords for all schemas.
- Tablespace Mapping: Automatically creates or maps schemas to tablespaces.
- Summary Page: Provides a review of your settings before repository creation.
