Configuring a Ranger or Ranger KMS Database: Oracle

Prior to upgrading your cluster to CDP Private Cloud Base you must configure the Oracle database instance for Ranger by creating a Ranger database and user. Before you begin the transition, review the support policies of database and admin policy support for transactions.

A supported version of Oracle must be running and available to be used by Ranger.

Log in to the host where the Oracle database is running and launch Oracle sqlplus:
```
sqlplus sys/root as sysdba
```
Provide the Ranger database and user instructions to the DBA to execute. Consult the username/schema name carefully in case of using multiple environments (test/dev etc.) on the same Oracle DB server. For information about creating Ranger database and user, see Creating the relevant schema DBs.

Continue installing or upgrading your cluster.
