If you use Oracle as the backend database for Xythos, you must create one database and two schemas within Oracle. Xythos uses one schema for the Xythos Global Schema and the other schema for the Xythos Document Store. Note that these steps must be performed before you configure Xythos, either by using the Configuration Wizard or the run_config script.

You must also create an Index tablespace named indx. The following SQL sample code shows how you can create this index tablespace.

Further Oracle database requirements are included in the "Xythos WFS Database Requirements" section of Third Party Software for SAS® 9.1.3 Foundation with Service Pack 4.

If you are unable to create the Index tablespace, you can use the value users as the value for Tables tablespace, Index tablespace, and BLOB tablespace when you run the Xythos Configuration Wizard.
