2/1/2016ODI 12c Collocated AgentOracle Data Integrator 12c Creating a Collocated AgentOverviewPurposeThis tutorial walks you through the steps that are needed to use Oracle Data Integrator Studio (ODI Studio) graphical tools to create an agent collocated with WLS to support (among otherthings) scheduling of procedures.Time to CompleteApproximately 40 minutes.IntroductionA common task that is performed using ODI is to set up and install an ODI Agent. After the ODI scenarios are created, they can be scheduled and orchestrated using an ODI Agent, which isa lightweight Java process that orchestrates the execution of ODI scenarios. This tutorial walks you through the steps that are needed to set up and install the ODI Agent.This is the third in a series of four OBEs in the Oracle Data Integrator 12c: Getting Started series.ScenarioLinda works as a database administrator for Example Enterprise Corp (http://www.example.com). In Example Enterprise, Linda is responsible for performing database management andintegration tasks on various resources within the organization. In particular, Linda is responsible for data loading, transformation, and validation. To begin working on her projects, Lindacreated the new Master repository and Work repository. Linda also created the project and the procedure to create a relational table and populate it with data. Now Linda needs to set upand install an ODI Agent as a service. This agent will be used in the next OBE to schedule a later run of the procedure. Agents are used for many other tasks in addition to scheduling.Hardware and Software RequirementsThe following is a list of software requirements:A supported operating system (the OS shown here is 64 bit Oracle Enterprise Linux release 5.6 (Carthage), other versions such as Windows are supported as well)Oracle Database (the version shown here is Enterprise Edition 12.1.0, other versions are supported as well)Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) 12c (other versions are supported as well). This OBE requires that WebLogic Server (WLS) is installed. If you do not have WLS installed, seealternate OBE here.Oracle Data Integrator 12c installed as ODI Enterprise (the version shown here is 12.1.2)The following is a list of OPTIONAL software:Oracle SQL Developer 12c (included with Database 12c install)If WLS is present, it must be in the same Middleware HOME directories as ODI.PrerequisitesBefore starting this tutorial, you should have:Started Oracle Database services and components such as the Listener.A Database user with DBA role privileges such as the SYS or SYSTEM account.Installed the HR schema included in the Oracle Database. The Sample Schemas Installation Guide is part of the Oracle Database documentation set, and is also available online at:http://otn.oracle.com.Already installed and configured ODI Master and Work repositories (instructions on how to do this are contained in the first of four OBEs in the Getting Started series).Already created an ODI project and mapping for a flat file to a relational table (instructions on how to do this are contained in the second of four OBEs in the Getting Started series).1. Creating the Domain for the Standalone Collocated AgentThe agent in this OBE runs in a domain that is very similar to (but not dependent on) WebLogic Server (WLS) domains. The GUI Configuration Wizard uses templates to determine whichcomponents are needed to support the function of the agent. There are three possible kinds of agents:completely standalone agent (no WLS installed)standalone collocated agent (WLS is installed, but is not being used. The agent is started as its own binary. This OBE uses this kind of agent.)JEE agent (WLS installed and used. The domain, admin server, managed servers, node managers, and so on are started in the normal WLS way. The agent is one of many possibleJEE apps running in the domain. )To create the domain using CAM, perform the following steps:1.1 Basic Configuration1. Start the Fusion Middleware (FMW) Configuration Wizard to create a domain for the agent. This is the Common Administration Model (CAM), though you may not see thatterm used anywhere. It bears a striking resemblance to the WebLogic Server (WLS) domain configurator.OS Prompt[myuser@myhost ] cd ODI HOME/common/bin[myuser@myhost bin] pwd/u01/app/oracle/Middleware/Oracle Home/odi/common/bin[myuser@myhost bin] lltotal 44‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 483 Feb 6 09:14 clonedunpack.sh‐rw‐r‐‐‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 210 Jul 11 04:37 commons‐logging.properties‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 471 Dec 19 2012 config.sh‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 2312 Jul 11 04:37 generate agent wls template.cmd‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 1980 Jul 11 04:37 generate agent wls template.sh‐rw‐r‐‐‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 286 Jul 11 04:37 �‐ 1 oracle oinstall 5412 Jul 11 04:37 ODI‐logging‐config.xml‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 467 Dec 19 2012 pack.sh‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 471 Dec 19 2012 unpack.sh‐rwxr‐x‐‐‐ 1 oracle oinstall 1748 Dec 19 2012 wlst.sh[myuser@myhost bin] work/tutorials/obe/fmw/odi/odi 12c/odi12c agent collocated/index.html1/14

2/1/2016ODI 12c Collocated AgentNote that there are other different versions of config.sh in other FMW directories, but this is the one you want for creating an ODI agent. The splash screen displays briefly.2. For most of the non Advanced configuration, the defaults are adequate. On the Configuration Type panel, leave the defaults.If you do not yet have a WLS domain, then the first one created will be called base domain by default. You can rename it to something such as odi agent or mydomain99, justmake sure that it remains in FMW HOME/user projects/domains/. If you already have a domain named base domain, then you cannot "create" another one, you wouldhave to rename it to base domain2 or something else, or you could Update an existing domain. The particulars about updating an existing domain are outside the scope ofthis OBE, and are covered in the WLS curriculum.Click Next to continue.3. On the Templates panel, select Oracle Data Integrator Standalone Collocated Agent. It is “standalone” in the sense that it does not use WLS, but it is “collocated” in thesense that WLS is installed. Selecting this one option causes several other options to be selected for you.CAUTION! Do NOT select Oracle Data Integrator Agent or it will not utorials/obe/fmw/odi/odi 12c/odi12c agent collocated/index.html2/14
