        The sbin directory is present in either NSH or RSCD, depending on the type of the installer used.

  4. If you are deploying with the Oracle database, consult your database administrator to perform the following steps:
    1. Run the following commands as a system administrator user to provide the indicated permissions to the data warehouse user:
      1. GRANT SELECT ON dba_data_files TO <datawarehouseUser>;
      2. GRANT SELECT ON  dba_free_space TO <datawarehouseUser>;
    2. Run the following command as a data warehouse user to compile the V_DB_SIZE view:
      Alter view V_DB_SIZE compile;

      keytool -export -alias smartreporting -keystore <tssr_installation_directory>/appserver/conf/tsr.keystore -rfc -file tsr.cert
      The tsr.cert file is created in the same directory where the keytool was run.

    2. Run the following command to import the tsr.cert file into the TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse keystore.
      keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias tsr -file <path_where_tsr.cert_is_copied>/tsr.cert -keystore <tssadw_installation_
      directory>/jre/lib/security/cacerts -keypass changeit -storepass changeit
