Architecture of Oracle Data Miner

Before you install Oracle Data Miner, you must understand the architecture of Oracle Data Miner. Oracle Data Miner consists of a server and one or more clients:

• Oracle Data Miner, the client, is an integrated feature of Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 or later.

• Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1) Enterprise Edition (includes Oracle Database Personal Edition) or an earlier version of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition is the server. In addition to the database, Oracle Data Miner requires the installation of a Data Miner repository account. The repository is a separate account in the database named ODMRSYS. This repository is shared by all user accounts in the database that have been granted the appropriate privileges to use the Data Miner repository.

• Oracle XML DB: Provides services to manage the Oracle Data Miner repository metadata, such as the details about the workflow specifications.
