Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA 7.9.6.3) overview

Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) are complete, prebuilt BI solutions that deliver intuitive, role-based intelligence for everyone in an organization from front line employees to senior management that enable better decisions, actions, and business processes. Designed for heterogeneous environments, these solutions enable organizations to gain insight from a range of data sources and applications including Siebel, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and third party systems such as SAP.

Oracle BI Applications are built on the Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition, a comprehensive, innovative, and leading BI platform. This enables organizations to realize the value of a packaged BI Application, such as rapid deployment, lower TCO, and built-in best practices, while also being able to very easily extend those solutions to meet their specific needs, or build completely custom BI applications, all on one common BI architecture.

Oracle BI Applications includes the following:
■ Oracle Financial Analytics
■ Oracle Human Resources Analytics
■ Oracle Supply Chain and Order Management Analytics
■ Oracle Procurement and Spend Analytics
■ Oracle Project Analytics
■ Oracle Sales Analytics
■ Oracle Service Analytics
■ Oracle Contact Center Telephony Analytics
■ Oracle Marketing Analytics
■ Oracle Loyalty Analytics
■ Oracle Price Analytics
and more

Oracle BI Applications is a prebuilt business intelligence solution.
Oracle BI Applications supports Oracle sources, such as Oracle E-Business Suite Applications, Oracle's Siebel Applications, Oracle's PeopleSoft Applications, Oracle's JD Edwards Applications, and non-Oracle sources, such as SAP Applications. If you already own one of the above applications, you can purchase Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and Oracle BI Applications to work with the application.
Oracle BI Applications also provides complete support for enterprise data, including financial, supply chain, workforce, and procurement and spend sources. These enterprise applications typically source from both Oracle data sources, such as Oracle EBS and PeopleSoft and non-Oracle data sources, such as SAP


Topology for an Oracle BI Applications Deployment

Oracle BI Applications and Informatica PowerCenter can be deployed flexibly across a wide range of topologies on different platforms and combinations of platforms.



Machine A (Windows-only)
Machine A is a machine that has installed Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, on which you run the Oracle BI Applications installer to install the Oracle BI Applications files.
Note: The instance of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition does not need to be the functional version of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition that you will use to deploy dashboards in your live system. This instance is only required to enable the Oracle BI Applications installer to install the Oracle BI Applications files on a machine
After the Oracle BI Applications files have been installed on Machine A, the DAC Client is installed on Machine B, and the DAC Server is installed on Machine C.
In addition, the following files are copied from the installation machine (Machine A) to the Business Intelligence Deployment Tier (Machine Group F) as follows:
- The OracleBI\Server\Repository\OracleBIAnalyticsApps.rpd file is copied from Machine A to the machine that runs the BI Server in Machine Group F.
- The OracleBIData\Web\Catalog\EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics\*.* files are copied from Machine A to the machine that runs the BI Presentation Services Catalog in Machine Group F.


• ETL Tier (Functional)
o Machine B (Windows-only)
Runs the DAC Client and Informatica PowerCenter Client Tools.
o Machine C (Windows, UNIX, Linux)
Runs the DAC Server and Informatica PowerCenter Services.
o Machine D (Windows, UNIX, Linux)
Hosts the transactional (OLTP) database.
o Machine E (Windows, UNIX, Linux)
Hosts the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse database


• BI Deployment Tier (Functional)
The BI Deployment tier is used to deploy the business intelligence dashboards.
o Machine Group F (Windows, UNIX, Linux)
Machine Group F is a group of machines that runs the Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition components. For example, one machine might run the BI Server and another machine might run the BI Presentation Services


Oracle Business Analytics warehouse architecture when deployed with Informatica PowerCenter and DAC

High-level analytical queries, like those commonly used in Oracle Business Intelligence, scan and analyze large volumes of data using complex formulas. This process can take a long time when querying a transactional database, which impacts overall system performance.
For this reason, the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse was constructed using dimensional modeling techniques to allow for fast access to information required for decision making. The Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse derives its data from operational applications and uses Informatica PowerCenter to extract, transform, and load data from various supported transactional database systems (OLTP) into the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse.



• The Client tier contains the Informatica PowerCenter client tools and the Oracle BI Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC). DAC is a command and control interface for the data warehouse to allow for set up, configuration, administration, and monitoring of data warehouse processes.

• The Server tier contains the following:
o DAC Server. Executes the instructions from the DAC Client. The DAC Server manages data warehouse processes, including scheduling, loading of the ETL, and configuring the subject areas to be loaded. It dynamically adjusts its actions based on information in the DAC Repository. Depending on your business needs, you might incrementally refresh the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse once a day, once a week, once a month, or on another similar schedule.
o DAC Repository. Stores the metadata (semantics of the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse) that represents the data warehouse processes.
o Informatica PowerCenter Services:
 Integration Services - The Integration Service reads workflow information from the repository. The Integration Service connects to the repository through the Repository Service to fetch metadata from the repository.
 Repository Services - The Repository Service manages connections to the PowerCenter Repository from client applications. The Repository Service is a separate, multi-threaded process that retrieves, inserts, and updates metadata in the repository database tables.
o Informatica Repository. Stores the metadata related to Informatica workflows.
• The Database tier contains the OLTP and OLAP databases.


The Informatica Repository stores all of the Informatica object definitions for the ETL mappings that populate the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse. It is a series of repository tables that are stored in a database, which can be a transactional, analytical, or separate database

Oracle BI Applications Components (with Informatica/DAC)




Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse Overview
The Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse is a unified data repository for all customer-centric data, which supports the analytical requirements of the supported source systems.
The Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse includes the following:
• A complete relational enterprise data warehouse data model with numerous prebuilt star schemas encompassing many conformed dimensions and several hundred fact tables.

• An open architecture to allow organizations to use third-party analytical tools in conjunction with the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse using the Oracle Business Intelligence Server

• A set of ETL (extract-transform-load) processes that takes data from a wide range of source systems and creates the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse tables.

• The Oracle Business Intelligence Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC), a centralized console for the set up, configuration, administration, loading, and monitoring of the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse

Important points

The metadata for a source system is held in a container
The PowerCenter Services can be installed on UNIX or on Windows.

The PowerCenter Client Tools must be installed on Windows.
You must co-locate the DAC Client with the Informatica PowerCenter Client Tools.
■ You must co-locate the DAC Server with Informatica PowerCenter Services.
DAC produces parameter files that are used by Informatica. If an execution plan
fails in DAC and you want to debug the workflow by running it directly from
Informatica, then the parameter file produced by DAC should be visible to
Informatica. This is one reason for the requirement to co-locate the DAC and
Informatica components as stated above
The DAC installer installs the DAC Client and DAC Server on Windows.

DAC Client only runs on Windows.
DAC Servers runs on Windows, UNIX, and Linux.
The DAC Server can run on Linux, but it must first be installed on a Windows
machine, then copied over to a Linux machine. Oracle does not provides an installer
for DAC on UNIX

The DAC Client can only be installed and run on Windows.
■ The DAC Client must be installed on the machine where Informatica PowerCenter
Client Tools was installed.
■ The DAC Server must be installed on the machine where Informatica PowerCenter
Services was installed.
■ You must install Informatica PowerCenter Services before you install DAC.
■ The correct version of the JDK is installed by the DAC installer.
■ The DAC installer installs DAC in the DAC_HOME\bifoundation\dac directory.


The DAC Client uses the Informatica pmrep and pmcmd command line programs
when communicating with Informatica PowerCenter. The DAC Client uses pmrep to
synchronize DAC tasks with Informatica workflows and to keep the DAC task source
and target tables information up to date.
In order for the DAC Client to be able to use the pmrep and pmcmd programs, the
path of the Informatica Domain file 'domains.infa' must be defined in the environment
variables on the DAC Client machine.
When you install DAC using the DAC installer, the Informatica Domain file is defined
in the environment variables on the DAC Client machine.

INFA_DOMAINS_FILE
C:\Informatica\9.0.1\clients\PowerCenterClient\domains.infa
The DAC Server uses the following command line programs to communicate with
Informatica PowerCenter:
■ pmrep is used to communicate with PowerCenter Repository Services.
■ pmcmd is used to communicate with PowerCenter Integration Services to run the
Informatica workflows.

The pmrep and pmcmd programs are installed during the PowerCenter Services
installation in the INFA_HOME\server\bin directory on the Informatica PowerCenter
Services machine


Oracle Business Intelligence Applications V7.9.6.3 requires Oracle Business
Intelligence Enterprise Edition V11.1.1.5.0.
■ Oracle Business Intelligence Applications V7.9.6.3 requires Informatica
PowerCenter V9.0.1. Hotfix 2.
■ Oracle Business Intelligence Applications V7.9.6.3 requires Oracle Data Warehouse
Console V10.1.3.4.1.

The OBIEE server uses the metadata to generate the SQL queries. It is stored in the
Repository or often referred to as .rpd. The repository has three layer as shown below, the physical layer, logical layer and the presentation layer.

Metadata maps the OBAW physical tables to a generic business model and includes more than 100 presentation catalogs (aka subject areas) to allow queries using Oracle BI clients such as Answers, Dashboards




High Level Data Flow
• Source – eBS (Raw Data)
• ETL – Extraction Transform and Load (Informatica – PowerCenter or
ODI)
• OBAW - Business Analytics Warehouse
• OBIEE Metadata
• OBIEE Content – Reports and Dashboards




• A prebuilt Informatica repository which includes mappings (wrapped in workflows) to extract data from the supported source systems (various versions of standard applications such as Siebel CRM - yes it was first - , Oracle eBusiness Suite, Peoplesoft, JDEdwards and SAP (BI Apps version 7.8.4) ) and load the data into the Oracle Business Analysis Warehouse. (Note: Oracle BI Applications version 7.9.5.2 includes a repository for the Oracle Data Integrator instead of Informatica but supports only Oracle Financials).


• The Oracle Business Analysis Warehouse (OBAW), a prebuilt schema (stars that is) which serves as a turnkey data warehouse including dozens of stars and accompanying indexes, aggregates, time dimensions and slowly changing dimension handling (and yes, it can be optimized).
• A prebuilt repository for the Data Warehouse Administration Console (DAC) server which is the orchestration engine behind the ETL process. The DAC client and server were included until version 7.9.5. Since then it is a separate installer.
• A prebuilt Oracle BI Server repository (rpd file) which maps the OBAW physical tables to a generic business model and includes more than 100 presentation catalogs (aka subject areas) to allow queries and segmentation using Oracle BI clients such as Answers, Dashboards and Segment Designer. Did I mention that it also takes care of authentication and data security?
• A prebuilt presentation catalog (repository) containing hundreds of requests and ready-to-use dashboards which enable tight integration between the source applications and the BI infrastructure (example: Click the Service Analytics screen in Siebel CRM, work with the dashboard data, drill down to details and click an action button to navigate back to the Siebel CRM record).

Oracle BI EE 10g is the successor of Siebel Analytics and Oracle BI Applications is the successor of Siebel Analytics Applications.


Detailed Data flow



First, the DAC scheduler kicks off jobs to loadrefresh the OBAW at regular intervals or alternatively, these jobs could be kicked off manually from the DAC client.
The DAC server uses the object and configuration data stored in the DAC repository to issue commands to the informatica Server.
The informatica server executes the commands issued from DAC, and uses the objects and configuration data stored in the informatica repository.
Then the data are extracted, transferred and loaded from the transactional databases into the OBAW target tables.
After the ETL is complete and OBAW is online, an OBIEE end user runs a dashboard or report in the Answers or Interactive dashboard.
The request comes through the web server and interacts with the presentation server.
The presentation server interacts with OBI Server and OBI server will understand the requests and hits the OBAW if it’s not cashed and extracts the data and provides it to the presentation server.
The presentation server formats the data into the required format and through web server, the request is presented to the end user



ETL process




ETL mappings are split into two main mappings, SDE mappings and SIL mappings.
2 SDE mappings load the staging tables,then SIL mappings (SILOS, SIL_Vert, PLP) load the final physical warehouse tables
3 SILOS SIL mappings are for all sources except Siebel Verticals. SIL_Vert SIL mappings are for Siebel Verticals only
4 Staging tables are suffixed with S, so W_AP_XACTS_F is the final table and the staging table is W_AP_XACTS_FS

To edit window registry
regedit (on run prompt)


To view a Linux desktop remotely
1. SSH to Linux server
2. Start the VNC server by typing 'vncserver' at the command line. Remember the display number.
3. Connect to the VNC server using a VNC viewer. Enter host name, display number, and VNC password for the user who started the session.
4. When finished, don't log out of Linux, just close the VNC viewer window.
5. If you wish, kill the VNC server session when finished. Or keep it running and use it next time you need to connect.



To use VNC to control or view a computer behind a firewall
The official VNC FAQ has a good explanation of using VNC through a firewall
at http://www.realvnc.com/faq.html#firewall. You must either open port 5900+N where N equals the VNC port assigned when you created a connection, or you must use SSH tunneling to channel the VNC traffic through ports that normally allow traffic through a firewall.
More detailed information is available at the link above.

To check if package/rpm is installed
rpm –qa grep {rpm_name} (From root)
eg: rpm -q binutils
To install package/rpm
rpm –ivh {rpm_name} (From root)

If you execute rpm with the -qa options (q for query mode, a for all installed packages) you will see the following if it is installed:

[oravis@myserver~]$ rpm -qa | grep libstdc++-devellibstdc++-devel-3.4.6-10
If your on a 64bit OS how do you know if this is the 32bit or 64bit version.
You need specify a query format in the rpm command. following example extract the name, version, release and architecture information for the libstdc++-devel package.

[oravis@myserver ~]$ rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}_%{ARCH}.rpm \ %{INSTALLTIME:date}\n" | grep libstdc++libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-10_x86_64.rpm

To check the amount of RAM and swap space available, run this:

grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

Ex:
# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 1034680 kB
# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo
SwapTotal: 1534196 kB

The minimum RAM required is 1024MB, and the minimum required swap space is 1GB. Swap space should be twice the amount of RAM for systems with 2GB of RAM or less and between one and two times the amount of RAM for systems with more than 2GB.

You also need 2.5GB of available disk space for the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 software and another 1.2GB for the database. The /tmp directory needs at least 400MB of free space. To check the available disk space on your system, run the following command:

df -h
Ex:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 6.8G 1.3G 5.2G 20% /
/dev/sda1 99M 17M 77M 18% /boot

Create the Oracle Groups and User Account
Next, create the Linux groups and user account that will be used to install and maintain the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 software. The user account will be called oracle, and the groups will be oinstall and dba. Execute the following commands as root:

Ex:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
# /usr/sbin/groupadd dba
# /usr/sbin/useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle
# id
oracleuid=501(oracle) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),503(dba)

Set the password on the oracle account:

passwd oracle
Ex:
# passwd oracle
Changing password for user oracle.
New password:
Retype new password:
all authentication tokens updated successfully.

# groupadd dba
# useradd –d "/home/oracle" –m –g dba oracle
# passwd oracle

useradd
The general syntax for the useradd command is :

useradd -d home_directory -e expire_date -g initial_group -p password login_name

home_directory : Is the main directory within which the user is expected to store all his files and subdirectories.
For a user named ‘neha’ the home directory generally is /home/neha
expire_date : This is the date on which the user’s account expires and he/she cannot access the computer anymore unless the account is renewed.
initial_group : Every user in Linux belongs to a group which affects his file permissions. The initial group must be a group which already exists.
Password : This will be the user’s password to access his account
login_name : This will be the user name with which the user will access his account.

Eg :

useradd -d /home/neha -e 2009-12-03 -g root -p talent123 neha

creates a user named neha on my computer.

Home directory for user Neha is /home/neha
Expirty date is 3rd december,2009
Belongs to the ‘root’ group
Password is talent123

Incase you do not enter one of the parameters group, home, expire or shell they are replaced by their default values. These default values can be viewed using the “ useradd -D” command and can also be changed.


Configuring Kernel Parameters

Check and edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file with the following lines.

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.rmem_max = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 262144
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

Note: Make sure to reboot the system or run the command /sbin/sysctl –p to change the kernel parameters.

Add the following lines to the /etc/security/limits.conf file:

oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536


Add or edit the following line in the /etc/pam.d/login file, if it does not already exist:

session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so

Make sure that SELINUX=disabled in the the /etc/selinux/config file

Edit the /etc/redhat-release file replacing the current release information (Fedora Core release 6 (Zod)) with redhat-4

Create Directories
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle

Ex
#mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle

The Linux kernel is a wonderful thing. Unlike most other *NIX systems, Linux allows modification of most kernel parameters while the system is up and running. There's no need to reboot the system after making kernel parameter changes. Oracle Database 10g Release 2 requires the kernel parameter settings shown below. The values given are minimums, so if your system uses a larger value, don't change it.
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
net.core.rmem_default=262144
net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144

If you're following along and have just installed Linux, the kernel parameters will all be at their default values and you can just cut and paste the following commands while logged in as root.
cat /etc/sysctl.conf EOF
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 536870912

net.core.wmem_default=262144
net.core.rmem_max=262144
net.core.wmem_max=262144

Run the following commands as root to verify your settings:
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep shm
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep sem
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep file-max
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep ip_local_port_range
/sbin/sysctl -a | grep rmem_default

net.core.wmem_default = 262144
# /sbin/sysctl -a | grep wmem_max
net.core.wmem_max = 262144

For Novell SUSE Linux releases, use the following to ensure that the system reads the /etc/sysctl.conf file at boot time:
/sbin/chkconfig boot.sysctl on

Setting Shell Limits for the oracle User
Oracle recommends setting limits on the number of processes and open files each Linux account may use. To make these changes, cut and paste the following commands as root:
cat /etc/security/limits.conf EOF
oracle soft nproc 2047
oracle hard nproc 16384
oracle soft nofile 1024
oracle hard nofile 65536
EOF

cat /etc/pam.d/login EOF
session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so
EOF
For RHEL4, use the following:
cat /etc/profile EOF
if [ \$USER = ""oracle"" ]; then
if [ \$SHELL = ""/bin/ksh"" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
umask 022
fi
EOF

cat /etc/csh.login EOF
if ( \$USER == ""oracle"" ) then
limit maxproc 16384
limit descriptors 65536
umask 022
endif
EOF
For SLES 9, use the following:
cat /etc/profile.local EOF
if [ \$USER = ""oracle"" ]; then
if [ \$SHELL = ""/bin/ksh"" ]; then
ulimit -p 16384
ulimit -n 65536
else
ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
fi
umask 022
fi
EOF

cat /etc/csh.login.local EOF
if ( \$USER == ""oracle"" ) then
limit maxproc 16384
limit descriptors 65536
umask 022

How to schedule a Job in Unix
Use cronjob
crontab -l ( list current jobs in cron)
crontab -e ( edit current jobs in cron )
_1_ _2_ _3_ _4_ _5_ $Job_Name
1 - Minutes (0-59)
2 - Hours ( 0-24)
3 - day of month ( 1- 31 )
4 - Month ( 1-12)
5 - A day of week ( 0- 6 ) 0 -> sunday 1-> monday
e.g. 0 0 1 * 5 Means run job at Midnight on 1st of month & every friday
crontabs are in /var/spool/cron. The date/time of the users file is the last time they modified /var/cron/log

How to find if Operating system in 32 bit or 64 bit ?
For solaris use command
isainfo -v
If you see out put like
32-bit sparc applications
That means your O.S. is only 32 bit
but if you see output like
64-bit sparcv9 applications
32-bit sparc applications
above means your o.s. is 64 bit & can support both 32 & 64 bit applications


How to find Process ID (PID) associated with any port ?
This command is useful if any service is running on a particular port (389, 1521..) and that is run away process which you wish to terminate using kill command
lsof | grep {port no.}  (lsof should be installed and in path)


How to change a particular pattern in a file ?
Open file using vi or any other editor, go in escape mode (by pressing escape) and use

:1,$s/old_pattern/new_parameter/gc   ( g will change globally, c will ask for confirmation before changing )

How to create symbolic link to a file ?
ln -s  pointing_to  symbolic_name
e.g. If you want to create symbolic link from a -> b

Group and User Creation in Solairs.
This post is for creating an Unix Group and a User.

Solaris 5.10
--------------------------------------
Creating a Group:
--------------------------------------

For instance: Group - dba

Login as ROOT User

login: root
Password:
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
#

To Check whther the group is already created.

# grep dba /etc/group
or
# cat /etc/groupgrep dba

If dba group info is not displayed, then

To create a Group:

# groupadd dba

Syntax: groupadd -g

# cat /etc/groupgrep dba

dba:103:

Note: The gid, which needs to be changed, should be not being the gid of other group.
Example:
# usermod -g 333 dba
UX: groupmod: ERROR: 103 is already in use. Choose another.

To remove a Group:

# groupdel dba

# cat /etc/groupgrep dba

Commands:
---------

Create Group - groupadd
Modify Group - groupmod
Remove Group - groupdel

For more details, check the man pages i.e. man groupadd, man groupmod, and man groupdel

--------------------------------------
Creating a User Account:
--------------------------------------

For instance: User - Oracle

Login as ROOT User

login: root
Password:
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
#

To Check whther the oracle user is already created.

# grep oracle /etc/passwd
Or
# id –a oracle

If Oracle group info is not displayed, then

To create a User:

# useradd –d /export/home/oracle –m -g dba -s /bin/sh oracle


Note: In the above command
Option -Discription -Value
------------- -------------------- --------------------
-d -Home for the Oracle user -/export/home/oracle
-m -For making directory
-g -Primary Group dba
-s -Default Shell for the User -/bin/sh
Login -Name -Oracle

# grep oracle /etc/passwd
oracle:x:100:100::/export/home0/oracle:/bin/sh

To modify a User:

For example: To Comment the user and assing secondray group to the user

# usermod -c "Owner of the Oracle Software 10g" -G oinstall oracle

Note: In the above command
Option -Discription -Value
------------- -------------------- --------------------
-c -Comment -"Owner of the Oracle Software"
-G -econdary -Group oinstall


# grep oracle /etc/passwd
oracle:x:100:100:Owner of the Oracle Software 10g:/export/home0/oracle:/bin/sh

To set a password:

# passwd -r files oracle
New Password: XXXXXXXX
Re-enter new Password: XXXXXXXX
passwd: password successfully changed for oracle

Note: Where XXXXXXXX is the new password for oracle User.

To remove a user:

# userdel -r oracle

Note: The "-r" option is used to remove the user's home directory from the system.
And the Oracle user account should not be removed until and unles required, and
this should not be done on Production Servers.

# grep oracle /etc/passwd


Commands:
---------
Create a user - useradd
Modify a user - usermod
Rmove a user - userdel

seta password to the user- passwd

For more details, please check the man pages in UNIX i.e. man useradd, man usermod, and man userdel

RDA

review, download and run the ./rda.sh script as described in Note: 250262.1

other notes for rda
Note: 314422.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - Getting Started
Note: 330363.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - FAQ
Note: 330344.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - Training
Note: 330362.1 - Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 - Troubleshooting Guide

To simplify RDA configuration, use an RDA profile, and the best choice is the DB9i profile, even for 10g or 11g, because the DB10g profile is a superset of DB9i that adds stuff we don't care about (for DB Install). First set the ORA* environment variables for the DB of interest, then run the RDA config pass:

Unix:
cd {dir you unzipped RDA into}
export ORACLE_HOME={dir}
export ORACLE_SID={name}
./rda.sh -Syvp DB9i

Next, edit the resulting setup.cfg file, search for 'sysdba' (first hit will be a comment), and change the 2 lines directly above and below as follows:
for SQL_LOGIN= replace 'system' with '/' and for SQL_SYSDBA= replace 0 with 1
then save it, and run the (rda) command again, with no arguments this time:
Unix:
./rda.sh
The output subdirectory will contain a new RDA*.zip file for you to upload
