Many of the details of setting up an Enterprise database are specific to the DBMS (Oracle), and your corporate IT environment. This manual contains only general comments.
You will need to decide how much disk space to allocate to your database. The guidelines below for planning the size of MS Access databases should not be assumed to hold for an Enterprise database, which may use a completely different means of physical storage, and may require much more space for index and system files. The most important point is that you have the capability of expanding the database size after it has been created and loaded.
At least one user ID must be set up for the database with permissions to create, alter and drop tables, and to add, update and delete rows. Rangecam Office System will use this ID in order to initialize the database tables.
If you are connecting to the Enterprise database over a corporate network, it may be necessary to install ODBC drivers on client computers and set each one up with ODBC DSN's. Although the Rangecam installation does this job automatically for MS Access, it does not do the same for Oracle.
Database has to be initialized with rail types, rail templates, segment types, track point pictures and some more.
After initializing an Enterprise database you can proceed to populate it with data. This is normally done by importing data from one or more MS Access databases, although you also can enter data directly.
