You are here
Run the Repository Creation Utility
Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the RCU (11.1.1.4)
If you don't have it downloaded, you can find the RCU from the download page of WebCenter:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter/downloads/index.html
Open the Prerequisites & Recommended Install Process section. There you will find the link to download the latest RCU.
When you unzip the RCU you can find the executable in the BIN directory. Double click on rcu.bat to start up the RCU
In the first screen you will need to specify whether you want to create or drop the schema's. We are, of course, creating schema's:
Press Next
In the next window you need to provide the parameters of your database you want to use to install the WebCenter schema's in.
If you also use an Oracle XE on your localhost, than your parameters will look similar to mine:
Press Next
The RCU will do some testing to see if the provided database is supported. Because an Oracle XE is not supported, you will get a message. Luckily, there is an Ignore button and we are going to use it!
It can happen that you get an error message saying your database does not support sufficient processes. Therefore you need to execute following command and restart your database:
ALTER SYSTEM SET processes=10000 SCOPE=SPFILE;
In the next screen you need to select the components you want to install in the database. We only need WebCenter suite so select it. By selecting this, this will also select the dependencies. We only have a dependency to the Metadata Services so this will be selected to.
You can also select a prefix that will be added to the schema owners name.
Press Next
The RCU will do some checks. If everything is ok, press OK in the popup.
Now you will need to provide the passwords for each schema that will be created. By default, the radio button Use name and password for all schemas is selected. This is good because this way you provide a password that will be applied for each schema.
Provide a password, confirm and press next:
In the next step you can decide to install the activity graph and analytics with partitioning. For our environment this is not necessary, in production environment this is recommended.
In the next step you can map the schemas to tablespaces. For our development environment we don't need to modify anything in this step so just press Next
You will get a message that tablespaces that do not already exist will be created. No problem so just press OK.
Your tablespaces will be created. This can take a few moments. After this has been finished, press the OK button on the popup.
In the last screen you see an overview of the schema's that will be created and in what tablespace they will be created.
Press the OK button to start the creation of the schemas.
Normally everything should go well and you will see an overview of everything that has been created and their status:
Press the close button.

why did we install RCU
HI,
Where does this RCU helps in Webcenter Portal?
These schema's are used for
These schema's are used for WebCenter spaces and services.
For example if you want to enable the tag or link service, it will use the webcenter schema. WebCenter spaces also requires these schemas.
If you want the analytics to work, you need these schema's.
If you just develop a WebCenter portal from within JDeveloper without using special services, then you don't need to run the RCU.
If you want to use the tag, link or activity graph in you WebCenter Portal, than you need to install the RCU. If not, you don't.
where do you get rcu from?

I'm guessing you are trying to run the RCU from 'c:\Documents and settings' or something like that? Oracle products don't really like spaces in a path. So you better put the RCU in a path that does not contain a space. like c:\rcu

I have dumped the total software in my desktop and trying to run rcu.bat from there, when iam doing this am getting above error.
So, now I should extract all the dump in the "C:/" drive?

Dear Yannick Sir,
I very very thankful for you, for time taken to give us the brief install process on installing Webcenter. I would love to read more articals on this.

When you dump it on your
When you dump it on your desktop, you are likely to have spaces in the path. Your desktop will have a path that looks like: "c:\Documents and Settings\...". Oracle has issues with the spaces in the path so it's better to create a folder c:\oracle and dump everything there.
Also notice that during install, never select a folder with a space in it's path or name or you will have the same issue.
I will do it as said
okey sir...I will do it.....and inbetween I have gone through all the topics there are where interseting so i want to know once after installing the webcenter from which topic i can start the learn of administation....if posible pl provide me the chapter by chapter link.

If you want to install the WebCenter suite, you need to install an Oracle DB. This can be the Oracle XE (although not officialy supported) but the Oracle 11g is recommended.
