2.11.1 Configuring REST Using the Included ORDS
Override default ORDS configuration by setting the shell environment variables.
-
By default, Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) uses whichever port is available in the range
7080
-7085
. If no port in this range is available, then ORDS exits and prompts you to set theRAT_ORDS_PORT
environment variable. IfRAT_ORDS_PORT
is already set, then ORDS uses the port specified in theRAT_ORDS_PORT
environment variable. -
By default, ORDS is setup with the administrator user
ordsadmin
. You can override this by specifying a different user in theRAT_ORDSADMIN_USER
environment variable. -
Depending on Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk, ORDS is started as a
nologin
user named eitherordsorachk
orordsexachk
. If you use the ORDS, which is already running, then the user is as same as who is running ORDS. -
If Oracle Trace File Analyzer is installed, then ORDS picks
JAVA_HOME
fromTFA_HOME
. If Oracle Trace File Analyzer is not installed, then ORDS picks the defaultJAVA_HOME
. It is a requirement that you use JDK8. However, you can override by setting theRAT_JAVAEXE
environment variable.
