FileNet P8 Platform, Version 5.2.1   Database:  Oracle          

Oracle database planning

Determine whether Oracle database components will be dedicated to individual FileNet® P8 components or shared and review other Oracle database requirements.

In a shared configuration, multiple FileNet P8 components can store their data in a single database. Most components allow for data to be collocated. However, the best practice is to keep some in dedicated table spaces:
When you make the decision about whether to share a database for multiple components, consider the following factors:

For an Oracle database to be used by Rendition Engine, see the IBM FileNet Rendition Engine Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Make sure the machine hosting the database satisfies all preinstallation requirements specified in the Oracle installation documentation.

Refer toIBM FileNet P8 system requirements for required operating system and database patch sets, and service packs. The Oracle patches are available at the Oracle website. The Oracle patch installation procedure might be less complicated if you do it before you create any databases.

Content Platform Engine supports the Oracle Advanced Security functionality of secure data transfer across network protocol boundaries.

Plan to use locally managed table spaces. For performance reasons, IBM recommends that you create locally managed, rather than dictionary managed, table spaces. (The table spaces you create via Oracle Database assistant (dbca) are locally managed by default.)

There are no requirements to install Oracle client software on the Content Platform Engine if the database is remote.
