Create a Project in an Oracle Database

To create a project in a repository on Oracle 9i, 10g, 11g or 12c, you work through the following stages:

•	Stage 1: Create an empty database repository and set up the data tables

•	Stage 2: Set up the ODBC Driver (if required; you can connect to an Oracle repository using either OLE DB or an ODBC driver; if you intend to connect through the ODBC driver, you must first set it up)

•	Stage 3: Perform a project integrity check on the project file you are using as a base (optional, but recommended)

•	Stage 4: Transfer the data

•	Stage 5: Connect to the repository to open the project

Prerequisites

•	Oracle 9i, 10g or 11 g has been installed

Transfer the project data to the repository

Step	Action	See also
1	Open Enterprise Architect. (If the Open Project screen displays, click on the Cancel button to open with no project loaded.)
2	Select the Tools \| Data Management \| Project Transfer menu option. The Project Transfer dialog displays.
3	In the Transfer Type panel, select .EAP to DBMS.
4	In the Source Project field, type the name of the project file to copy to Oracle. If the .EAP file has Replication enabled, this must be removed before performing the transfer.	Remove Replication
5	At the right of the Target Project field, click on the ( ... ) (Browse) button. The Datalink Properties dialog displays.
6	Select Oracle Provider for OLE DB from the list. Click on the Next button.
7	On the Connection page of the Datalink Properties dialog, enter the Oracle service name in the Data Source field, and the user name and password as required. Click on the OK button. The Project Transfer dialog redisplays.
8	If required, select the Logfile checkbox and type a path and filename for the data transfer log file.
9	Click on the Transfer button to begin the data transfer process.
10	When the process is complete, you have created a project on a Oracle database and can now connect to it and open it from Enterprise Architect.	Connect to an Oracle Data Repository (ODBC) Connect to an Oracle Data Repository (OLE DB)
