3.1. Using Oozie with Oracle

To set up Oracle for use with Oozie:

  1. On the Ambari Server host, stage the appropriate JDBC driver file for later deployment.

    1. Download the Oracle JDBC (OJDBC) driver from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html.

    2. Select Oracle Database 11g Release 2 - ojdbc6.jar.

    3. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions - 644.

    4. Execute the following command, adding the path to the downloaded.jar file:

      ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=oracle --jdbc-driver=/path/to/downloaded/ojdbc6.jar

  2. Create a user for Oozie and grant it permissions.

    Using the Oracle database admin utility, run the following commands:

    # sqlplus sys/root as sysdba CREATE USER <OOZIEUSER> IDENTIFIED BY <OOZIEPASSWORD>;

    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO <OOZIEUSER>;

    GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO <OOZIEUSER>;

    QUIT;

    Where <OOZIEUSER> is the Oozie user name and <OOZIEPASSWORD> is the Oozie user password.
