3.1. Using Oozie with Oracle

To set up Oracle for use with Oozie:

  1. On the Ambari Server host, install the appropriate JDBC driver file.

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

    2. For Oracle Database 11g: select Oracle Database 11g Release 2 drivers > ojdbc6.jar.

    3. For Oracle Database 12c: select Oracle Database 12c Release 1 drivers > ojdbc7.jar.

    4. Make sure the .jar file has the appropriate permissions. For example:

      chmod 644 ojdbc7.jar

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

      ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=oracle --jdbc-driver=/path/to/downloaded/ojdbc7.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.
