1-8 Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite
1.4.2 Database
The configuration of Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite requires the availability of a supported database. The database must be up, and a database instance
must be running. It does not have to be on the same machine where you are installing the suite.
The database must also be compatible with Repository Creation Utility RCU, which creates the schemas for the suite’s applications. For more information, see
Chapter 2, Creating Schemas for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite.
The overall performance of an Oracle UCM system is dependent on the speed at which files that are checked into the server can be stored and retrieved. Using a database to
store the files that are stored in the server requires that the database can execute both Read and Write commands at speeds similar to a file system. Oracle Secure Files meets
this standard. For databases other than Oracle Database, consult your database provider to ensure that the database can achieve your storage and retrieval
requirements.
For the latest information about supported databases, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page on Oracle Technology Network at

1.4.3 Repository Creation Utility
You need to install and run Repository Creation Utility RCU to create a database schema for each Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite application that you
plan to configure.
RCU is available only on a Linux or Windows operating system. You can use RCU from a Linux or Windows operating system to create schemas in a supported database
installed on any operating system.
For information about installing and running RCU, see Chapter 2, Creating Schemas
for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite.
1.4.4 Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite
Installation of Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite copies the files for all of the products in the suite to your system. To use one or more of these products, you
need to configure each one to run in a Managed Server, as an application deployed to Oracle WebLogic Server.
Note: RCU is available only for a Linux or Windows operating
system. You can use either the Linux-based RCU or Windows-based RCU to create schemas in any supported database.
