2.4 Install Oracle Enterprise Repository Solution Packs

This section describes the install instructions for the base data pack and harvester solution pack. Base Data Pack Base data pack is installed as part of the Oracle Enterprise Repository database installation. The Base data is not available by any other method. It is not delivered during any upgrades from one version of Oracle Enterprise Repository to the next. The asset types delivered as part of Base Data are largely considered templates. The creation of a new asset type originates by cloning something that already exists. It is recommended that two best practices are applied to these asset types. 1. The base data asset types must not be deleted until at least one asset type is created, which is specific to the new Oracle Enterprise Repository application. 2. If enhancements are desired to a base asset type, it is recommended to clone that base asset type, consider the clone to be the real type for all future operations, and inactivate the base asset type to avoid confusion. Harvester Solution Pack The Harvester is available in 11.1.1.x.x-OER-Harvester-Solution-Pack.zip, which is bundled with the Oracle Enterprise Repository 11g installation. The installation of the Harvester Solution Pack requires use of the Import Export tool. This tool is available from the Admin tab of Oracle Enterprise Repository in the Import Export option. The asset types delivered as part of the Harvester Solution Pack are required by the Harvester tool. For information about the ImportExport tool, see the ImportExport Tool chapter in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Enterprise Repository. 2-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Guide for Oracle Enterprise Repository 3 Configuring Oracle Enterprise Repository to use External Authentication Tooling 3-1 3 Configuring Oracle Enterprise Repository to use External Authentication Tooling This chapter describes how to authenticate Oracle Enterprise Repository using the external authentication tools.
