2 Introduction to Oracle Airlines Data Model Installation

Types of Installations Provided for Oracle Airlines Data Model

Using the Oracle Universal Installer you can perform two types of Oracle Airlines Data Model installations:

• Installation of the Oracle Airlines Data Model component, itself. You must install this component to create an Oracle Airlines Data Model data warehouse.

• Installation of sample reports (and schemas) that you can use for ideas about how to design your own reports. Installing these samples is optional.

  Note:

  The reports and dashboards that are used in examples and delivered with Oracle Airlines Data Model are provided only for demonstration purposes. They are not supported by Oracle.

Different items are installed depending on whether you install the database objects, or the sample reports and schemas.

Airlines Data Model Installation

When you perform a Airlines Data Model installation of Oracle Airlines Data Model, the Oracle Universal Installer installs the Oracle Airlines Data Model component without data. Specifically, the installer creates the following schema in the target database:

• oadm_sys which is the main schema for Oracle Airlines Data Model. This schema contains all the relational, mining, and OLAP components of Oracle Airlines Data Model, including the Oracle Airlines Data Model data mining results tables.

There is no data in this schema. You need to populate data into the schema.

Sample Reports Installation

When you perform a Sample Reports installation of the Oracle Airlines Data Model, the installer creates the Oracle Airlines Data Model sample schema in the target database, and copies and configures all the sample reports to your OBIEE server. Specifically, the installer installs:

• The following files that provide the data for the sample reports:

  • oadm_sample.dmp.zip which is a dump file of the schemas that contain the sample data for the relational and data mining components of Oracle Airlines Data Model.

    Tip:

    The default user name for the schema is oadm_sample.

  • oadm_sample.eif which is a dump file containing sample data for the Oracle Airlines Data Model analytic workspace (that is, the OLAP cubes).

• The following files that define and create the sample reports:

  • oadm.rpd

  • oadmwebcat.zip

Oracle Airlines Data Model Home Directory Structure

The installation image contains the following directories under ORACLE_HOME/oadm:

• report: which contains the sample report files for Oracle Airlines Data Model installation.

• pdm: which contains the physical schema dump, creation scripts, and lookup value population scripts, as listed in the following table.
