The Master uses only JDBC to connect to any Oracle-related database. CWA requires that the OLE providers for the
Oracle 10g and 11gR2 database be installed on each CWA machine. These OLE providers are normally installed only
during a full Oracle client install (also known as Oracle Admin Client). Have your Oracle administrator install these
drivers on each machine that will run CWA. The drivers are called “Oracle Provider for OLE DB” and are selected in
the Oracle Windows Interfaces section of a custom install.

If you are performing a Master installation, your database administrator needs to know the Oracle tablespace
datafiles to be used with CWA. The following three Oracle tablespace data files are created by CWA during
installation and require at least the stated amount of tablespace:

The tnsnames.ora file must exist on or be available to the CWA Master machine. This file
is typically found in the
Oracle home directory. The tnsnames.ora file should be local since network access may not always be available to
the Master service, and it must be available to the CWA Master. Verify that the Oracle bin folder is in your system
path before installing CWA.

path before installing CWA.
Because CWA utilizes the Oracle Native drivers for connectivity, the Oracle SQL*Net client needs to be installed and
configured on all Windows Masters. To verify that the ORACLE client connection is correctly configured, from the
DOS prompt, use the tnsping to the database tns entry.
