Oracle データベースセットアップ

This guide covers deploying Confluence standalone 2.2 or later against an Oracle database, and is also applicable to the WAR version. For older Confluence versions, please follow these instructions.

This database can only be setup by an Oracle database administrator. If you are not a DBA, you should not attempt this guide.

Oracle has a history of being extremely difficult to setup. If you do not have access to an experienced Oracle DBA in your organisation, you are recommended to select any free, scalable and easy-to-install alternative rather than proceeding with Oracle. Users evaluating Confluence are recommended to start with an alternative database and only consider migrating to Oracle after approval from their DBA. Atlassian's technical support for Oracle setup difficulties will also reflect the high minimum skill requirements for attempting an Oracle setup.

Database Setup Information

This setup guide must be used in conjunction with the list of Known Issues For Oracle. Please review that page before continuing.

Schema Requirements

Confluence must be deployed to a schema in it's own, separate Oracle instance. This avoids a Hibernate bug triggered by the existence of duplicate tablenames in other schemas, outlined here.

Database Incompatibilities

Orcale 9i and later are supported, please upgrade any older versions prior to installing Confluence.

Please check that your version of Oracle does not have any known issues:

Deploying Against Oracle

Complete the instructions for installing Confluence standalone, then return to this document instead of proceeding to the Confluence Setup Guide.

Database Preparation

Tailor these instructions to your particular database version:

1. Perform any necessary database or driver upgrades. Download the latest compatible database drivers
   
   
2. Create a separate instance of Oracle and apply any configuration tasks.
   
   
3. Create a Confluence user configuration and grant access permissions.

Adding a Datasource to Tomcat

1. Open <INSTALL>/conf/server.xml for editing.
   
   
2. Locate the section Host -> Context

   <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false">
       <Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true">
            <!-- Logger is deprecated in Tomcat 5.5. Logging configuration for Confluence is specified in confluence/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -->
            <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager" saveOnRestart="false"/>
       </Context>
   </Host>
   

3. Paste in the Resource section provided, prior to Manager as shown

   <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false">
       <Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true">
            <!-- Logger is deprecated in Tomcat 5.5. Logging configuration for Confluence is specified in confluence/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -->
   
            <Resource
            name="jdbc/confluence"
            auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
            url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:sid"
            username="<username>"
            password="<password>"
            connectionProperties="SetBigStringTryClob=true"
            maxActive="25"
            maxIdle="5"
            maxWait="10000"
            />
   
            <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager" saveOnRestart="false"/>
       </Context>
   </Host>
   

4. Change the username and password to match the Oracle login.
   
   
5. Change url to match hostname, port and sid of the Oracle server. Sid stands for the schema name. For example:

   jdbc:oracle:thin:@example.atlassian.com:1521:confluencedb
   

6. If required, choose different maxActive and maxIdle values. These set how many total database connections will be allowed at one time, and how many will be kept open even when there is no database activity.

Configure Confluence Datasource Access

Confleunce must be configured to use this datasource:

1. Edit the file <INSTALL>/confluence/WEB-INF/web.xml
   
   
2. Go to the end of the file and just before </web-app>, insert the following:

   <resource-ref>
   <description>Connection Pool</description>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/confluence</res-ref-name>
   <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
   <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
   </resource-ref>
   

3. Locate the Oracle JDBC database drivers for JDK 1.4, which comes bundled with your database. We recommend using the thin drivers only. Copy ojdbc14.jar to the <INSTALL>/common/lib directory.

Confluence Setup Wizard

Now Confluence is ready to attempt to connect to Oracle:

1. Startup Confluence using <INSTALL>/bin/startup.bat or <INSTALL>/bin/startup.sh
   
   
2. Insert your licence and select External Database.
   
   
3. Select Datasource Connection using your Oracle version.
   
   
4. Enter java:comp/env/jdbc/confluence for the name of the datasource.

Confluence should now deploy using the Oracle database specified. Please read this comment on Oracle database optimisation.

Generic Oracle Configuration Tips

Websphere and Oracle

If you are planning to run Confluence on a Websphere application server and Oracle database, you should read the information on Known Issues for Websphere.

24-hour time format with Oracle 8i

We have received a report from a user that when an Oracle 8i database is configured to use 24-hour time as the default format, an exception like this may occur:

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1


ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified

One symptom of this problem is that Confluence may refuse to start after midday.

The workaround is to go to 'General Configuration' and set the default time format to "HH:mm".
