How to configure OTRS 5s Patch Level 23 & Oracle 12c DB on different systems?

Hello, I tried to search relevant documents/guide on how to connect OTRS to Oracle12c DB installed on a separate system but unable to find any. Can somebody tell how this can be achieved? I am going to use OTRS 5s Patch Level 23 FREE stable release. I have prepared 2 systems with Cent OS 6.8 Thanks. Regards, Amey.

First step is to prepare the system as an Oracle client. Usually the Instant Client is sufficient. Install the client with header files, DBD::Oracle needs to be build via cpan. You Oracle DBA should be able to do this. Everything else is described in the OTRS manual. - Roy

Thanks. On last step the HTML doc asks to edit = Kernel/Config.pm to provide ORACLE_HOME Where to find this this dir? I am using Cent OS 6.8 [64bit] After locating Config.pm, I got several dir's as follows = ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@otrs oracle]# locate Config.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/Config.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/Encode/Config.pm /usr/share/automake-1.11/Automake/Config.pm /usr/share/perl5/CPAN/HandleConfig.pm /usr/share/perl5/CPANPLUS/Config.pm /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/MakeMaker/Config.pm /usr/share/perl5/Log/Message/Config.pm /usr/share/perl5/Module/Build/Config.pm /usr/share/perl5/Net/Config.pm /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/HTTP/Config.pm [root@otrs oracle]# locate Kernel /etc/libreport/events/report_Kerneloops.xml /usr/include/c++/4.4.4/java/awt/image/Kernel.h ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Amey.

It's
/Kernel/Config.pm So, if you have installed OTRS in /opt/otrs, it's /opt/otrs/Kernel/Config.pm
Thanks Renee for the update. I thought 1st I need to prepare Oracle drivers & then install OTRS software on the same system = http://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/5.0/en/html/installation.html#installat... Is it fine if I proceed with OTRS 5.0.24 installation now [using RPM package] or I need to roll back & do the OTRS installation 1st & then compile Oracle drivers? Thanks & Regards, Amey.
Kind regards, Renée

For a fresh installation I recommend the following steps: - Install and configure the operating system that you have a access with the sqlplus client to the database for otrs - Install DBD::Oracle (usually via cpan, I never saw an RPM for this, let me know if you find one) - Install the OTRS RPM (5.0.24) AFAIK, the OTRS installer only works with MySQL and you have to install and configure some parts on your own: - Populate the database via sqplus with the following files: - scripts/database/otrs-schema.oracle.sql - scripts/database/otrs-initial_insert.oracle.sql - scripts/database/otrs-schema-post.oracle.sql - Configure Kernel/Config.pm to use DBD::Oracle - Check database access with the command bin/otrs.Console.pl Maint::Database::Check - Choose another SystemID than 10 ;-) Now you should be ready to go. - Roy
