Move the Business Analytics repository to Oracle

Appendix : Administration : Getting Started with the Business Analytics Server : Move the Business Analytics repository to a robust database solution : Move the Business Analytics repository to Oracle

1. If you are using your LDAP Directory as the Business Analytics User Repository, make sure that at least one user in your LDAP Directory has administrator privileges for Business Analytics before you move the Business Analytics Repository. See Grant User Access to Business Analytics with Built-in Groups for instructions.

When the Business Analytics User Repository is your LDAP Directory, the default administrator account (Administrator user) is disabled.

2. If you are hosting the Business Analytics Repository in a new database, create the database following Oracle documentation.

Make sure this database is supported by Business Analytics. See Additional Business Analytics System and Software Requirements for details.

If you want Business Analytics to support international characters in meta-data for artifacts, set the character encoding to AL32UTF8 when you create the database. See documentation for your database for specific instructions.

It is a best practice to require passwords for every database account that can access the Business Analytics Repository.

3. Start the database that will become host to the Business Analytics Repository, if it is not already up.

4. Using the SQL tool for the database that will be host, add Business Analytics Repository tables with the scripts shown below from the corresponding folder in MashZoneNG-install/prestorepository/oracledb:

createDB.txt

createDBTables.txt for MetaData and the default User Repository

createSnapsTables.sql for Snapshots

createSchedulerTables.sql for Scheduler

Note:

This folder contains other scripts to drop the corresponding Business Analytics Repository tables.

5. Replace the JAR for the Business Analytics Repository:

a. Remove the web-apps-home/mashzone/WEB-INF/lib/jackbe-presto-rds-postgresql-derby.jar JAR file for each Business Analytics Server that uses this Business Analytics Repository. You can delete this JAR or simply move it to a folder that is not in the classpath for the application server that hosts Business Analytics.

b. Copy this JAR file:

MashZoneNG-install/prestorepository/jackbe-presto-rds-oracle-mysql-mssql.jar

To the web-apps-home/mashzone/WEB-INF/lib folder.

6. Copy the JAR file for the JDBC driver for your database to the following folder for each Business Analytics Server that uses this Business Analytics Repository:

MashZoneNG-install/apache-tomee-jaxrs/lib

7. Add the Quartz-Oracle JAR to the Business Analytics Server:

a. Download quartz-oracle-1.7.2.jar.

a. In a web browser open the link: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.quartz-scheduler/quartz-oracle/1.7.2.

b. Click the Download (Jar) link to save the file.

b. Copy the quartz-oracle-1.7.2.jar file to the MashZoneNG-install/apache-tomee-jaxrs/lib folder.

If this is a clustered environment, repeat step b for each member of the cluster.

8. Update snapshot scheduler configuration for the Business Analytics Server:

a. In the text editor of your choice, open the applicationContext-scheduler.xml file in the webapps-home/mashzone/WEB-INF/classes/ folder for the Business Analytics Server.

b. Find the org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.SchedulerFactoryBean bean.

c. Update the org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass property to the org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.oracle.OracleDelegate delegate.

The configuration would now look like:

...
<bean id="scheduler">
<property name="applicationContextSchedulerContextKey">
<value>applicationContext</value>
</property>
<property name="quartzProperties">
<props>
<prop key="org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId">AUTO</prop>
<prop key="org.quartz.jobStore.class"> org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.
JobStoreTX</prop>
<prop key="org.quartz.jobStore.tablePrefix">QRTZ_</prop>
<prop key="org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass"> org.quartz.impl.
jdbcjobstore.oracle.OracleDelegate</prop>
<prop key="org.quartz.jobStore.dataSource">schedulerDS</prop>
...
</props>
</property>
</bean>
...

d. Save this change.

e. If this is a clustered environment, copy the updated applicationContext-scheduler.xml configuration file to each Business Analytics Server in the cluster.

9. Open the MashZoneNG-install/apache-tomee-jaxrs/conf/tomee.xml configuration file in the text editor of your choice.

10. For the Business Analytics Repository, edit the <Resource> element with an ID of MashzoneNextGenRepository and:

a. Update the JDBC driver, URL and credential properties:

<Resource id="MashzoneNextGenRepository" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
JdbcUrl jdbc:oracle:drivertype:@host-name:port:dbname
UserName username
Password password
JtaManaged false
</Resource>

The JTA managed property must be false.

b. If needed, update optional properties. See TomEE Datasource Properties for a complete list of optional properties and information on defaults.

Some common properties you may need to set include:

validationQuery = select 1 from dual

Common tuning properties for connections pools. See Tuning the Business Analytics Repository Connection Pool.

11. Save your changes to this file.

If the Business Analytics Server does not start up successfully, see Troubleshooting Connections to the Business Analytics Repository for suggestions.

12. Open the rdsJDBC.properties configuration file, from the web-apps-home/mashzone/WEB-INF/classes folder, in the text editor of your choice and:

a. Comment out the property definitions for the Derby database.

b. Uncomment the properties for Oracle and update these properties to match the JNDI configuration your previously updated for TomEE.

c. Save your changes to this file.

You must keep JDBC and JNDI configuration synchronized for the Business Analytics Repository. The application server is using JNDI to connect to the Business Analytics Repository, but some components still use JDBC information.

13. Restart the Business Analytics Server to apply these changes.

If the Business Analytics Server wedoes not start up successfully, see Troubleshooting Connections to the Business Analytics Repository for suggestions.

14. Update connection information for the Snapshots Repository:

a. Open Business Analytics Hub and login.

b. Add a JDBC driver for the new database that should host the Snapshots Repository. See Add or Manage JDBC Drivers for instructions on adding JDBC drivers.

c. Expand the JDBC Configuration menu, if needed, and select Datasources.

d. Select SnapshotDatasource and click

Edit.

e. Update configuration to point to the new database. See Add a Data Source for information on specific configuration properties.

f. Click Save.

15. Restart the Business Analytics Server to apply these changes.

16. Load macros required for the Snapshot feature in Business Analytics:

a. Open a command or terminal window and move to the MashZoneNG-install/presto-cli/bin folder.

b. Enter the appropriate command, shown below, for your operating system:

For Windows	For Linux, OS/X or UNIX
publish-global-macros.bat -u Administrator -p manage -url http://app-server:port/mashzone/edge/api	./publish-global-macros -u Administrator -p manage -url http://app-server:port/mashzone/edge/api
