Install Operational Reporting on Amazon RDS for Oracle 19c (non-CDB/PDB)

This topic describes how to install Operational Reporting on Amazon RDS for Oracle 19c (non-CDB/PDB).

Create an Amazon RDS DB instance for Oracle 19c (non-CDB/PDB)

You must create an Amazon RDS DB instance for Oracle 19c before installing the Operational Reporting.

Follow the guidelines below when creating a RDS DB instance for Oracle 19c:

  • When creating the RDS DB instance, do not use the automatically generated master (admin user) password for the DB instance. You should enter your own password. Otherwise, the installation of the Operational Reporting would fail.
  • In the Architecture settings section, leave the Use multitenant architecture option unselected.
  • Create a new parameter group for the RDS DB instance and set the enable_goldengate_replication parameter value to true.

For further details about how to create and configure an Amazon DB instance, see the Amazon RDS documentation.

Install Operational Reporting

This section provides detailed steps on how to install Operation Reporting Content Pack.

To install Operational Reporting:

  1. Install Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) in Oracle server.

  2. Run the ./ggsci command in the <ogg_home> directory to start the OGG Manager.

  3. Create an empty reporting schema and grant necessary privileges to it by running the sample_setup_rds_reporting_sys.sh script:

    1. Go to the <Op_Report_Home>\install\sample directory, and open the sample_setup_rds_reporting_sys.sh file in a text editor.

    2. Uncomment the parameters listed in the following table, replace the placeholders with valid values, and then save and close the file.

      Parameter

      Value

      RDS admin user of Reporting DB

      RDS admin user name for the Operational Reporting database. This refers to the master username of the RDS DB instance.

      Example value: admin

      Reporting DB Schema Name

      Operational Reporting database schema name.

      Example value: RPT_SCHEMA

      Note: The PPM Center database schema name must be in all capital letters.

      Reporting DB data_tablespace_name

      Operational Reporting database to store data.

      Example value: RPT_DATA_TS

      Note: The Operational Reporting database tablespace name must be in all capital letters.

      Reporting DB temp_tablespace_name

      Operational Reporting database temp tablespace.

      Example value: RPT_TEMP_TS

      Note: The Operational Reporting database temp tablespace name must be in all capital letters.

      Reporting DB index_tablespace_name

      Operational Reporting database to store index.

      Example value: RPT_INDEX_TS

      Note: The Operational Reporting database index tablespace name must be in all capital letters.

      Reporting DB TNS Name

      Identifies the Oracle instance that runs the Operational Reporting database schema. TNS name is configured in the tnsnames.ora file.

      Example value: RPT

      Reporting DB DATA_NOLOGGING_TABLESPACE

      Separate tablespace that requires no redo log for the Operational Reporting database to store data.

      Example value: RPT_DATA_TS_NL

      Reporting DB INDEX_NOLOGGING_TABLESPACE

      Separate tablespace that requires no redo log for the Operational Reporting database to store indexes.

      Example value: RPT_INDEX_TS_NL

    3. Run the sample_setup_rds_reporting_sys.sh script.

    4. During the script run, provide the RDS admin user password when prompted.

      Tip: The RDS admin user password is the master password of the RDS DB instance. For this password, do not use the automatically generated password. Otherwise, the installation of the Operational Reporting would fail.

    5. Go to the <Op_Report_Home>\install\log directory and check the setup_rds_reporting_sys.log file for errors.

    Note: Running the sample_setup_rds_reporting_sys.sh script drops the old reporting schema and creates a new reporting schema. The new reporting schema is reusable, therefore, you do not need to run this script if you want to re-install the Operational Reporting package.

  4. Run the sample_setup_ppm_rds_root_ogg.sh script:

    1. Go to the <Op_Report_Home>\install\sample directory, and open the sample_setup_ppm_rds_root_ogg.sh file in a text editor.

    2. Uncomment the parameters listed in the following table, replace the placeholders with valid values, and then save and close the file.

      Parameter

      Value

      RDS admin user

      RDS admin user name for the PPM Center database.

      Example value: admin

      OGG OWNER

      Name of the OGG owner.

      For PDB, it should begin with c##. Example value: C##OGGOWNER.

      For non-CDB/PDB, it cannot begin with C##. Example value: OGGOWNER.

      Data Table Space of OGG Owner

      Data tablespace of the OGG owner.

      Recommended value: SYSTEM
      Temp Table Space of Ogg Owner

      Temp dataspace of the OGG owner.

      Recommended value: TEMP
      DB TNS Name of PPM DB

      TNS name of DB where PPM database exists.
    3. Run the sample_setup_ppm_rds_root_ogg.sh script.
    4. Go to the <Op_Report_Home>\install\log directory and check the setup_ppm_rds_root_ogg.log file for errors.

  5. Follow the steps below to set up Oracle GoldenGate on Amazon RDS:

    1. Run the following to turn on the minimum database-level supplemental logging on the database:

      Copy code 
      EXEC rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.alter_supplemental_logging(p_action => 'ADD')
    2. Set the ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION initialization parameter to true to allow database services to support logical replication.

    3. Set the log retention period on the source database. For example, set the retention period for archived redo logs to 24 hours:

      Copy code 
      EXEC rdsadmin.rdsadmin_util.set_configuration('archivelog retention hours',24)

    4. Execute the following to create the RDS directories to the online and archived redo log files:

      Copy code 
      EXEC rdsadmin.rdsadmin_master_util.create_archivelog_dir;
      EXEC rdsadmin.rdsadmin_master_util.create_onlinelog_dir;

    5. Grant the privileges needed by a user account to be an OGG owner. The package that you use to perform the grant, rdsadmin_dbms_goldengate_auth or dbms_goldengate_auth, depends on the Oracle DB engine version.

      • For Oracle DB versions that are later than or equal to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2), which requires patch level 12.2.0.1.ru-2019-04.rur-2019-04.r1 or later, run the following PL/SQL program:

        Copy code 
        EXEC rdsadmin.rdsadmin_dbms_goldengate_auth.grant_admin_privilege (
            grantee                 => 'OGGOWNER',
            privilege_type          => 'capture',
            grant_select_privileges => true, 
            do_grants               => TRUE);

      • For Oracle database versions that are earlier than Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2), run the following PL/SQL program:

        Copy code 
        EXEC dbms_goldengate_auth.grant_admin_privilege (
            grantee                 => 'OGGOWNER',
            privilege_type          => 'capture',
            grant_select_privileges => true,
            do_grants               => TRUE);

      6. For more details, see the Using Oracle GoldenGate with Amazon RDS for Oracle topic in the Amazon RDS documentation.

  6. Run the following command to create userid alias for the OGG owner in database:

    ALTER CREDENTIALSTORE ADD USER <OGG_OWNER>@<RDS_NAME> ALIAS <ALIAS_IN_RDS>

  7. Run the sample_setup_ppm_rds_ogg.sh script.

    1. Go to the <Op_Report_Home>\install\sample directory, and open the sample_setup_ppm_rds_ogg.sh file in a text editor.

    2. Uncomment the parameters listed in the following table, replace the placeholders with valid values, and then save and close the file.
