Create a user for Oozie and grant it permissions:
For Oracle, create the Oozie user and grant it database permissions:
# sqlplus sys/root as sysdba SQL> CREATE USER $OOZIEUSER IDENTIFIED BY $OOZIEPASSWORD; SQL> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO $OOZIEUSER; SQL> QUIT;
Where
$OOZIEUSER
is the Oozie user name and$OOZIEPASSWORD
is the Oozie user password.For MySQL
Create the Oozie user and grant it database permissions:
# mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE USER ‘$OOZIEUSER’@’%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘$OOZIEPASSWORD’; mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO ‘$OOZIEUSER’@’%’; mysql> flush privileges;
Where
$OOZIEUSER
is the Oozie user name and$OOZIEPASSWORD
is the Oozie user password.Create the Oozie database:
# mysql -u root -p mysql> CREATE DATABASE oozie;
