c Change the delete.data.files parameter to =true if you want to delete the data files after they
are loaded. If you keep the default, you need additional dataspace than defined in "External Database
System Requirements" on page 15:
delete.data.files=false
3 Load the time data.
The current adm_olap schema has a time dimension table that is static. Fill the time table once and leave
it unchanged thereafter. Perform the following steps before the loader first run:
cd adm_olap
unzip static_data/time.csv.zip -d data/
The time.csv data is loaded the next time the synchronization process runs.
4 Test the configuration to ensure that you have installed and configured the client correctly:
a Run a complete synchronization from the ADM Console as described in "Running the
Synchronization Process Now" on page 13.
b After the upload completes, log in as a user with Oracle permissions, on the system on which the
database is installed.
c Change directories to unzip_path/adm_olap/ and run the synchronization process:
cd <unzip_path>/adm_olap/
chmod 755 sync_adm_olap.pl
$ ./sync_adm_olap.pl
N For secure FTP, use the sync_adm_olap_sftp_oracle.pl script instead of
OTE
sync_adm_olap.pl
5 Schedule the synchronization process on Linux.
a Log in as a user with oracle permissions and enter:
crontab -e
b Verify the following information. It has to be part of the crontab for it to run properly:
PATH=... <oracle home full path/bin>
ORACLE_SID=<>
ORACLE_HOME=<>
<cron expression><install dir>/adm_olap/sync_adm_olap.pl >>
N For secure FTP, use the sync_adm_olap_sftp_oracle.pl script instead of sync_adm_olap.pl
OTE
and for more information about cron expression please contact your unix admin.
The following is an example of a cron entry in Linux, where the process is scheduled to run after every 15
minutes:
PATH=...
ORACLE_SID=...
ORACLE_HOME=...
