What to do next
Install the new View Composer service. See “Install the View Composer Service,” on page 33.
Create an Oracle Database for View Composer
View Composer can store linked-clone desktop information in an Oracle 11g or 10g database. You create a
View Composer database by adding it to an existing Oracle instance and configuring an ODBC data source
for it. You can add a new View Composer database by using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant or
by running a SQL statement.

Add a View Composer Database to Oracle 11g or 10g on page 30
You can use the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to add a new View Composer database to an
existing Oracle 11g or 10g instance.
n
Use a SQL Statement to Add a View Composer Database to an Oracle Instance on page 31
The View Composer database must have certain table spaces and privileges. You can use a SQL
statement to create the View Composer database in an Oracle 11g or 10g database instance.
n
Configure an Oracle Database User for View Composer on page 31
By default, the database user that runs the View Composer database has Oracle system administrator
permissions. To restrict the security permissions for the user that runs the View Composer database,
you must configure an Oracle database user with specific permissions.
n
Add an ODBC Data Source to Oracle 11g or 10g on page 32
After you add a View Composer database to an Oracle 11g or 10g instance, you must configure an
ODBC connection to the new database to make this data source visible to the View Composer service.
Add a View Composer Database to Oracle 11g or 10g
You can use the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to add a new View Composer database to an
existing Oracle 11g or 10g instance.
Prerequisites
Verify that a supported version of Oracle 11g or 10g is installed on the local or remote computer. See
“Database Requirements for View Composer,” on page 10.
Procedure
1 Start the Database Configuration Assistant on the computer on which you are adding the View
Composer database.
Database Version Action
Oracle 11g
Select Start > All Programs > Oracle-OraDb11g_home > Configuration
and Migration Tools > Database Configuration Assistant.
Oracle 10g
Select Start > All Programs > Oracle-OraDb10g_home > Configuration
and Migration Tools > Database Configuration Assistant.
2 On the Operations page, select Create a database.
3 On the Database Templates page, select the General Purpose or Transaction Processing template.
