The installation process requires the password for a database administrator account that can create tables, views, and other artifacts in the databases. You can avoid using your database administrator account password by creating a temporary administrator for the installation process to use.
You would need a temporary database administrator account if the installer is creating the databases for you, or if you manually create the databases and allow the installer to populate the databases for you. Use the appropriate steps for your database type to create a temporary database administrator.
The installation process requires the password for an administrator account in Oracle that can create tables, views, and other artifacts in the databases. You can avoid specifying the password for the Oracle system account by creating a temporary administrator for the installation process to use.
IMPORTANT:If you create the Oracle database administrator in a database hosted in the cloud, ensure that you follow the documentation for the cloud platform you are using to have the proper rights for the database administrator. The following steps are for databases installed on-premises and might not be correct if you are installing in the cloud.

Instead, the program generates a SQL file for each schema, which your database administrator can run to update the database. For more information about using the SQL files, see Section 5.11, Configuring the Databases Using the SQL Scripts.
