location must be the directory up to but not including the bin directory
of DB2; for example, /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5
- Oracle Server: The database application location must be the ORACLE_HOME
value up to but not including the bin directory; for example, /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1 and the ORACLE_BASE
value up to the base installation directory; for example, /u01/app/oracle
- If you are using DB2, specify the details of the DB2 administrator account. If you are using Oracle Server, specify the
details of the DBA user. Click Verify user and
click Next. If the Next button remains unavailable, verify the following
items:
- If you are using DB2, the
administrator user name and password you entered are correct.
- If you are using Oracle Server, the DBA user exists.

By default, the data warehouse name is RIDW.

the scripts required for database creation to the file system and
