DAC stores this connection information fpor subsequent logins. After first time login DAC also prompts you to create a dac repository schema. A fter it creates the dac schema, we can import dac metadata into the dac schema. When we create a connection for the first time, these connection details are sto red in an authentication file. For susbsequent logins, this authentication file is used for login into the DAC. this authentication file authenticates the database in which repository resides. creating a connection: ----------------------start->programs->DAC->start client In the Dac login window, click on configure ->create connection->next-> Name:BIAPPS_Connection connection type:oracle(oci8) Click on authentication file->select "create a new authentication file" -> choose a directory for authentication file->Accept default directory->ok-> BIAPPS_CONNECTION.con will be created. create authentication file window, enter tableowner name:dac, password:xxx->ok click on test connetcion->It will succesfully establishes a connection click on apply After that it will prompt you to create repository. (To enter into the dac, I have given Administrator,Administrator). It will say d o you want to create metadata, click yes. Now it will prompt you for username an d password. i have given Administrator and Administrator) 15.5 Importing metadata into DAC Repository: --------------------------------------------Before importing the biapps related dac meta data into the repository, First set up the sac system properties in the set up view.Otherwise, it will throw errors , because informatica parameter information is loaded. If you import the biapps meta data with out setting up the dac system properties , it will throw 5 errors. so you need to reimport the metadata, ny dropping the user DAC in the oracle dat abase. tools->import-> select the logical,over write log file and system check boxes. In the application list select the necessary applications to be imported. Make a note of these selected applications, later on we need to enter these deta ils exactly somewhere. select Oracle R12.1.1,Oracle 11.5.10 and Universal adaptors select "Enable batch mode" check box ->ok Now retype the text in text box->click on yes(EE101) It will take 30 to 40 minutes to import the tables. 15.6 Creating the data warehouse tables:

Trouble shooting the tnslistner while logging into DAC ------------------------------------------------------some how my dac connection is stopped working after enabling the bridge port ada ptor. For that I have configured and created new authentication file. Restarted the sy stem. It started working again. commands for working on linux env: -----------------------------------1.pwd /home/oracle 2.whoami :oracle 3.echo $ORACLE_HOME :where is oracle is installed or oracle home 4.cd $ORACLE_HOME :means it will take you to the oracle installation directory listner.ora and tnsnames.ora will be under ~/base/visdb/9.2.0/network/admin 5.uname -a :this command will tell you about linux version and details 6.hostname:aleven 7.export ORACLE_HOME:$ORACLE_HOME will be set for that particular session in the shell 8.export PATH means Path will be set for that particlar session for that shell

9.VIS_Alevan.env contains all the configuration required to set the environment variables related to oracle.Its like config.bat file in the windows environment . VIS_aleven.env means the environment variables will be set by sourcing the VIS _alevan.env 10.to start and stop the databse, you need to connect as sysdba. a.sqlplus '/ as sysdba' b.startup--- to start the database instance use this command c.startup nomount: means database instance will be started but will not be moun ted and opened. c.startup mount: means the database instance will be started and mounted and ope ned d.startup force:means its like a restart.It will perform shutdown abort followed by a startup 11.stopping the database instance: ------------------------------------a.shutdown:This will shutdown database normally and will wait all the active use s have disconnected. b.shutdown immediate:this will shutdown database immediately and rollback all ac tive transactions. c.shutdown abort:This will shutdown the database with out rollbacking the active transactions. d.shutdown transactional:This will wait untill all active transactions have been completed and then shutdown the database. e.shutdown transactional loca 12.connecting to sqlplus: sqlplus apps/apps@VIS;
