Preinstallation Tasks
This release of RDW incorporates optional interfaces with these Oracle Retail products
which can be sources for the data warehouse: Oracle Retail Merchandising System
(RMS), Oracle Retail Invoice Matching (ReIM), Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial
Planning (MFP), and Oracle Retail Price Management (RPM). Additionally, the data
warehouse can also operate as a standalone product and be fed from other legacy
systems. If Oracle Retail applications are used as the source systems, follow the
requirements in the installation guides for each of these applications. It is recommended
that the source systems be on a separate server from the data warehouse which is
considered the target server. Refer to Appendix A for more detailed information on
RDW and database schema setup.

Preinstallation Tasks
Implementation Capacity Planning
There is significant complexity involved in the deployment of Oracle Retail applications,
and capacity planning is site specific. Oracle Retail strongly suggests that before
installation or implementation you engage your integrator (such as the Oracle Retail
Consulting team) and hardware vendor to request a disk sizing and capacity planning
effort.
Sizing estimates are based on a number of factors, including the following:
Workload and peak concurrent users and batch transactions
Hardware configuration and parameters
Data sparcity
Application features utilized
Length of time history is retained
Additional considerations during this process include your high availability needs as
well as your backup and recovery methods.
Check Database Server Hardware Requirements
Hardware requirements for the data warehouse database server or target server include:
General Hardware Requirements
Minimum
Recommended
Memory
8GB
12GB+
Multi-processors
4 – highest MHz
8+ – highest MHz
CD-ROM drive (either local or network)
Disk Space
300 GB
Site specific (refer to
your RDW sizing
information)
Swap Space
Equal to physical
RAM
2.5 times the physical
RAM
Note: This reflects the amount of space needed to install the
database software, RETL software, as well as the RDW
software, and still maintain an acceptable amount of usage
on the UNIX file system. This may reflect external storage as
well as internal, such as 50GB of internal space and a 250+
GB external RAID storage array.
Sizing Factors and other suggestions to factor into the selection of a data warehouse
server include:
Concurrent front-end user base. More concurrent users will require more database
processing power from the server.
DASD connectivity. Typically, it is better if the fiber channel connectivity to provide
the maximum throughput to disk.
Backup/Recovery requirements. Extra disks may be required for backup and
recovery procedures.
Server backplane speeds. Depending on the architecture of the server backplane (or
comparable links), memory access and/or CPU utilization may be a factor in
performance.
2 Oracle Retail Data Warehouse
Check Database Server Software Requirements
Overall database size for the RDW. A capacity plan should be done for the database
server and DASD requirements in general to assess how large the environment will
need to be.
Note: These data warehouse server requirements should
only be used as guidelines because they reflect the hardware
used to run a small environment (approximately 200
gigabytes of data). Actual requirements can be somewhat
smaller, or typically much larger, depending on the intended
size of the RDW environment upon full implementation.
Oracle can assist with making these determinations by
providing information on database size estimates, server
architecture, and so on.
Check Database Server Software Requirements
General Requirements for a database server running RDW include:
Supported on:
Versions Supported:

Check Client System Requirements
General requirements for end-user client workstation software requirements include:
See specific database platform documentation for client requirements.
See the Oracle Retail Data Warehouse Middle Tier Installation Guide for other client
requirements.
Create UNIX User Accounts
1. Log in as the root user.
2. Create the following groups:
dba - admin group which controls RDW access
dev - development group
3. Create the following user accounts, using ksh as the default shell:
oretail - dba group
rdw13dev - dev group
4. Typically the owner of the Oracle RDBMS software owns the RDW database
software. This user is referred to as rdwdba.
Create UNIX Directories
1. Create UNIX directories for the RDW database structure and the code directory
structure.
Note: The database directories are used to provide scripts to
aid in the creation of tablespaces and users. The code
directory structure holds the source code, error and log
directories. Refer to Appendix B: Code Tree for a more
detailed description of the directory structure.
4 Oracle Retail Data Warehouse
Alter Directory Ownership and Privileges
2. Create RDW database directory structure:
Log in to the database server as UNIX user rdwdba. This user owns the database
directory structure.
Extract the files from the downloaded zip file. FTP (in binary mode) the tar file,
rdw13_db.zip, to <database_directory> on the UNIX server where the rdw13
database will be created. The <database_directory> directory is a working
directory that should be designated at this time. As the rdwdba user, extract the
rdw13_db.zip file by typing the following at the UNIX prompt:
unzip rdw13_db.zip
3. Create RDW code directory structure:
Log in to the database server as the UNIX user oretail. This user owns the code
directory structure.
FTP (in binary mode) the file rdw13_code.zip to a base directory where you wish
to permanently store the RDW code directory. This base directory should be on
the UNIX server where the RDW database will be created. The base directory is
a working directory that you should designate at this time. As the oretail user,
extract the rdw13_code.zip file in the base directory specified above by entering
the following at the UNIX prompt:
unzip rdw13_code.zip
Note: It is highly recommended that clients have a separate
server for production installations. To set up a production
environment; create a prd directory, then copy the dev
directory structure to the production server, and use the
<base_directory>/rdw13.0/prd as the code directory
structure on that server. A prd group is needed and a
separate prd user should be created as well.
Alter Directory Ownership and Privileges
For added security, alter the directory ownership and privileges.
1. Log in as the root user (in the <base_directory>/rdw13.0 directory).
2. Change the following as indicated in the table below:
the ownership (chown –R <owner> <directory>)
the group (chgrp –R <user group> <directory>)
the privileges (chmod –R <privs> <directory>)

Database Installation Guide 5
Preinstallation Tasks
Copy Profiles for RDW User
1. Login to UNIX as the rdw13dev user and change directories to
<base_directory>/rdw13.0/sample_profiles.
2. Copy the profile to the home directory of rdw13dev. Edit the .profile to correspond
with the server file system, RETL installation and UNIX environment.
Note: The sample profiles by default are set up for a
development environment. Change the indicated variables
as necessary for other environments. Any variables that may
require modification are noted in the sample profile
comments. Be sure to set up these UNIX accounts to
automatically run the .profile within their home directory
upon login.

Installation Tasks
It is assumed that Oracle 10g release 2, with appropriate patches, has already been
installed. If not, refer to “Check Database Server Software Requirements” in Chapter 1,
“Preinstallation Tasks” before proceeding.
Note: Become familiar with the RDW application in a
development environment before setting up a production
system. The following instructions are recommended for
development and test environments only. When
implementing RDW for a production environment, refer to
capacity planning information to determine size
requirements for tablespaces, tables, and indexes. The
installation scripts provided need to be modified
accordingly.
If a database has already been created, it is necessary to review the contents of this
section to determine if all database components have been installed and configured
properly. Also refer to Appendices C and D.
Note: When running the scripts in this section, the following
errors may be encountered “ORA-04043 object XXXX does
not exist”, “ORA-01432 public synonym to be dropped does
not exist”, “ORA-00942 table or view does not exist”, “ORA-
29833 indextype does not exist”, “ORA-29807 specified
operator does not exist”, “ORA-29931 specified association
does not exist”, and “ORA-29816 object being disassociated
is not present”. These errors can be ignored. The ORA errors
are caused by dropping the objects the script is about to
create.
Establish Data Warehouse Partitioning Strategy
Establish a partitioning strategy before creating compressed datamart and historical
tables in a production environment. In doing so, consider the database size and business
requirements. For example, the amount of history to be held at various levels, and the
various functional areas that might be used should be referenced when determining a
partitioning strategy. Additionally, large non-compressed fact tables should be
partitioned for ease of rolling off history. Refer to the RDW Operations Guide for more
detailed information regarding the partitioning strategy for both compressed and non-
compressed fact tables. Refer to “Oracle® Database Concepts 10g Release 2 (10.2)
Chapter 18 “Partition Tables and Indexes” for further details regarding partitioning
concepts.
Database Installation Guide 7
Installation Tasks
Create the RDW Database and Tablespaces
Create the Database as Follows
1. Login to the RDW database server as the rdwdba user.
2. Create the Oracle recommended OFA directory structure for the database (datafile
directories, adump, bdump, cdump, arch, create, exp, pfile, udump, utl_file_dir).
3. Place an entry in the oratab file for the database and execute oraenv to set the
ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME environment variables.
4. Copy INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/create_db/init.ora to the $ORACLE_HOME/pfile
directory and rename it to init${ORACLE_SID}.ora. Modify the parameters
according to guidelines specified in this file.
5. Create a symbolic link from $ORACLE_HOME/pfile/init${ORACLE_SID}.ora to
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init${ORACLE_SID}.ora.
6. Modify the INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/create_db/crdb1.sql file. Refer to comments in
this file regarding modifications that need to be made.
7. Login to SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and execute
INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/create_db/crdb1.sql. Review crdb1.log for errors and correct
as needed.
8. Login to SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and execute
INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/create_db/crdb2.sql. Review crdb2.log for errors and correct
as needed.
9. Login to SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and execute
INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/create_db/crdb3.sql. Review JServer.log, context.log and
xdb_protocol.log for errors and correct as needed.
10. Configure the database listener.
Create RDW Tablespaces
1. As the rdwdba user, change directories to INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/create_db.
2. Modify the create_rdw_tablespaces.sql script as appropriate. Refer to Appendix D.
3. Login to SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and execute:
SQL>@create_rdw_tablespaces.sql.
4. Review create_rdw_tablespaces.log for errors and correct as needed.
8 Oracle Retail Data Warehouse
Load RDW Database
Load RDW Database
Create RDW Schema Owners
1. As the rdwdba user, change directories to INSTALL_DIR/rdw13/utility.
2. Review the crusers.sql file for the names and passwords of the rdw users that will be
created. Note these as they are used later in the installation.
3. Login to SQL*Plus as SYSDBA and execute the following script:
SQL>@crusers..sql
4. To secure the passwords in the create users script, change the privileges on the script
by entering: chmod 700 crusers.sql
Create RDW Datamart-level tables
1. As the rdwdba user, change directories to <database_directory>/rdw13/ddl/dm.
2. Log in to SQL*Plus as rdw13dm and execute the following script:
SQL>@rdw13.sql
3. This script creates the RDW datamart-level tables. It creates all default base non-
partitioned tables. If you are implementing a partitioning strategy at this time,
modify the DDL to reflect your partitioning.
4. Review the rdw13dm.log file to verify that the objects were all created successfully.
Set up RDW User Permissions
1. As the rdwdba user, change directories on the UNIX server to
<base_directory>/rdw13.0/dbasql.
This directory contains scripts that set up all necessary synonyms and grants for
the RDW environment. The header of each file contains information regarding
which user should execute the script, when to run them and additional details
about the scripts.
The scripts spool to the /tmp directory. This directory should already exist, but
verify that it does and can be written to before running.
The rdw_users.sql script has been set up to reference the default RDW
usernames, so verify that they are correct and change to suit your environment if
necessary.
When prompted by any of the scripts for an object name, press the [Enter] key to
create permissions for all objects in the schema.
2. Login to SQL*Plus as the schema owner rdw13dm (created earlier) and execute the
following scripts to setup permissions to the datamart objects:
SQL>@gs_rdw13_dm_ora.sql
SQL>@invalids.sql
Verify the scripts executed correctly by reviewing the following files:
g_rdw13_dm.lst, s_rdw13_dm.lst
Note: Ignore any text that is generated similar to the
following. SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "new
7: ..." - rest of line ignored
Ignore any text that is generated from invalids.sql if no objects need to
be validated.
Database Installation Guide 9
Installation Tasks
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "no rows se..." -
rest of line ignored.
Note: These scripts are also used for maintenance. If you
need to drop or add a table in the database, run these scripts
again to give the appropriate privileges to your users. If a
table has been dropped and recreated for maintenance, you
also need to verify that all objects in the database are VALID.
For a test or a production environment, you need to modify
the rdw_users.sql script to alter the usernames for the
environment you are creating.
Configure RETL
This release of RDW incorporates RETL. Take this time now to install and configure this
on the target server. See the RETL Programmers Guide to install and configure this tool.
Once configured, populate the default data as described in the rest of this chapter.
1. Log in to the UNIX server with the rdw13dev account.
2. Change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/rfx/etc.
3. Modify the rdw_config.env script to match your environment. For detail information
about each setting, refer to section ‘rdw_config.env settings’ within the RDW
Operation Guide.
Data Population
In order to successfully populate the database with datamart data, the rdw13dev profile
must be modified for these values: $MMUSER, $PASSWORD, $PATH, $RFX_HOME
and $MMHOME.
1. Log in to a UNIX session on the RDW database server as rdw13dev. Modify .profile
by setting MMUSER to the data mart owner, rdw13dm. Set PASSWORD to the
appropriate password as determined when the crusers.sql script was run.
2. Set RFX_HOME to the location of the RETL installation and enter this value in the
PATH.
3. Source the profile or exit and log back on as rdw13dev.
4. Verify the RETL executable is in the path of your UNIX session by typing the
following at the UNIX prompt:

Populate Datamart Default Data
1. As the rdw13dev user, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/install. This
directory contains the code for all default data installation scripts.
2. At the UNIX prompt, enter:
default_load.ksh
Note: Read the comments on every install script called
within default_load.ksh, specifically
load_maint_dim_key_dm.sql because the initial date for
curr_load_dt might be different for every client.
This script executes the following SQL scripts:
alter_dt_fmt.sql – alters the current session’s date format.
load_program_control_dm.sql – populates the program status data for the RDW
modules.
load_dummyrows.sql – populates necessary ‘dummy’ records for low level
dimensions.
load_maint_dim_key_dm.sql – populates the dimension surrogate key
information and initial maintenance date.
load_indicator_dm.sql – populates the default values for a dummy table for
front-end reporting.
load_cde_dtl_dm.sql – populates the code abbreviation table for RDW batch
modules to reference.
load_prod_diff_type_dm.sql – populates the diff type dimension with default
diff type values.
load_rtl_type_dm.sql – populates the retail type dimension table with default
retail types.
load_cde_dtl_com_dm.sql – populates the customer order code abbreviation
table for RDW batch modules to reference.
load_tsf_type_dm.sql – populates the transfer type dimension table with default
transfer types.
load_wf_cust_type_dm.sql – populates the wholesale franchise customer type
dimension table with default customer types.
3. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/log.
4. Review the log file that was created or modified.
5. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/error. Review
the error files that were created for default_load.
6. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/install.
7. Rerun the RDW profile and verify that the MMUSER and PASSWORD variables are
set to the batch user, rdw13dev and the appropriate password. At the UNIX
prompt, enter:
time_static_load.ksh
time_static_load.ksh – populates the following tables with default values:
time_minute_dm
time_hour_dm

10. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/error.
11. Review the error files that were created for time_static_load.
Note: Refer to the RDW Operations Guide for more
information on the log files and error files.
12. Import the localization_dm.dmp file to the localization_dm table following the steps
below:
a. As the rdwdba user, change directories to
<database_directory>/rdw13_code/metadata.
b. Set NLS_LANG environment variable to NLS_LANG
=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8.
c. Import the localization_dm.dmp file using the rdw13dm user.
imp file=localization_dm.dmp
Populate Time Dimension
This section describes the initial load and loading of additional time into RDW. The time
dimension can be loaded with a 454 calendar, 13 period time calendar or a 454 with
Gregorian calendar. Populate these tables according to business requirements. If RMS is
implemented, the time dimension with 454-calendar time or 454 with Gregorian calendar
the calendar information can be extracted from this system. Refer to the RMS Operations
Guide volume 3 for details of how to extract time. After the calendar information has been
extracted, proceed to section ‘Create Time in RDW’ to load it in RDW. To populate time
for 454, 13 period or 454 with Gregorian calendar standalone, proceed to section ‘Create
Standalone Time’. For information on the tables loaded for the Time dimension refer to
the RDW Data Model documentation.
Create Standalone Time
Modify the sample text files that serve as the data to populate the time calendar
dimension with appropriate time for the environment. If a 454-time calendar or a 454-
time calendar with Gregorian calendar will be used, modify the time_454*.txt. If
implementing a 13 period time modify the time_13.txt file with the time calendar data.
Modify the file, wkday*.txt, with the description of the first day of the fiscal week, for
example ‘SUNDAY’. The entry in wkday.txt must be in all capital letters. A sample of
these text files has been provided in <base_directory>/rdw13.0/dev/install. See the
RDW Operations Guide Appendix A ‘API Flat File Specifications’ for instructions on how
to modify the text files. Proceed to ‘Create Time in RDW’ to load time into the Data
Warehouse.
Note: Sample text files can be used to get started in a
development environment. These files need to be modified
to match the fiscal calendar before creating time in a
production environment

Installation Tasks
the error files that were created for g_time_load and g_time_trnsfrm_load if 454 time
with Gregorian calendar is used.
13. Refer to the RDW Operations Guide for more information on the log files and error
files.
Note: DAY_IDNT serves as a surrogate key for day of the
time. It can represent 454 time, 13 period time or Gregorian
time. Since it is a surrogate key, it does not have meaning to
it as long as it is unique across all the days of the time used
in RDW.
Populate Static Dimension Data
There are several dimension tables in RDW that must be loaded before loading Voucher
Facts and executing some reports. In order to determine the information needed for these
tables, refer to the RDW Operations Guide, Appendix A ‘API Flat File Specifications’.
Sample flat files have been provided in the <base_directory>/rdw13.0/install directory,
these tables must be populated according to business requirements.
The tables to be populated are time_last_yr_by_day_lfl_dm, time_last_yr_by_wk_lfl_dm,
vchr_age_band_dm. See the RDW Data Model documentation for more information on
the tables and the column descriptions to be loaded.
1. Login to the RDW database server as the UNIX user rdw13dev. Verify the RETL
executable is in the path of your UNIX session by typing:
which rfx
2. Change directories on the UNIX server to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/install. This
directory contains the code for all default data install scripts.
3. The script timelfldm.ksh loads the following Time ‘Like for Like’ tables that are used
exclusively by the reports:
time_last_yr_by_day_lfl_dm
time_last_yr_by_wk_lfl_dm
4. Load the Time ‘Like for Like’ tables by executing the script. At the UNIX prompt,
enter:
timelfldm.ksh
5. Change directories on the UNIX server to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/log. Review
the log file that was created or modified.
6. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/error. Review
the error files that were created.
7. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/install. The
script, vchragedm.ksh, loads the table, vchr_age_band_dm, which is used by the
voucher fact load batch module. At the UNIX prompt, enter:
vchragedm.ksh
8. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/log. Review
the log file that was created or modified.
9. On the UNIX server, change directories to <base_directory>/rdw13.0/error. Review
the error files that were created.
Refer to the RDW Operations Guide for more information on the log files and error files.

Install Oracle Configuration Manager
Install Oracle Configuration Manager
This Oracle Retail product has been instrumented for configuration discovery and
collection by Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM). It is recommended that you take
advantage of OCM in your environment. Please see MetaLink note 559539.1 for more
information about OCM instrumentation in Oracle Retail products.
Installing OCM for RDW:
Determine your RDW_HOME directory path. This should be the <database_directory>
referenced during the database installation for RDW.
1. Add this new RDW application to the retail inventory:
Create or modify the $RDW_HOME/retail_inventory/oracle_retail_RDW.properties
file. Add the following lines to this file, substituting where appropriate:
<RDW_name>+RDW_INSTALL_DATE=<yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss>
<RDW_name>+RDW_VERSION=13.0.0
Example:
rdw13inst1+RDW_INSTALL_DATE=2007-11-10 09:51:50
rdw13inst1+RDW_VERSION=13.0.0
<yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss> refers to the date of RDW installation. See example value
above.
<RDW_name> refers to a unique name to identify this RDW installation. This is
arbitrary and can be chosen at the time that this oracle_retail_RDW.properties file is
created. This identifier must be unique across your entire customer support ID.
The <RDW_name> string used in this file will become the OCM target name for this
RDW installation.
2. The Retail OCM Installer should be used to install the OCM collector. Use the retail-
OCM-withAnt.zip file included with the RDW release and follow the instructions in
Metalink Note 559539.1 to run the Retail OCM Installer independently.
