*External Oracle database host name or IP address, such as urup
*iHub Encyclopedia volume name, which by default is the machine name, in this case, urup
*Oracle database iHub system schema name, such as ac_corp_system
*Oracle database Encyclopedia volume schema name, such as ac_corp
*Oracle database iHub application user name, such as iserver
The iHub installation program creates the necessary volume database structures, then loads the metadata.
