Have directories established, where the installation will be performed for USS and z/Linux.
The Data Base Administrator must create the empty database, if you are using an external database. The tables of the database can be created manually or automatically, although we recommend manual creation.
These DDL statements can be found under the ddl folder in your installation media or the installed directory. If DB2, please use RO71688 DB2 DDL DOES NOT WORK WITH EXPLICIT TABLESPACES to create the database tables. For each supported database type, a pair of SQL scripts is provided as follows:
If the userid for the database which will be specified in the configuration step has CREATE TABLE privileges, this database can be empty and CA OM Web Viewer automatically creates the necessary tables when it is initialized for the first time.
If the userid for the database does not have the CREATE TABLE privileges, ask your database administrator (DBA) to create tables. The tables must be created according to the Data Description Language (DDL) statements that are provided with CA OM Web Viewer.
create.sql - For creating tables in the precreated database
drop.sql - For deleting tables from the precreated database
