Create databases and database design files for SQL Server
IBM BPM requires a Process Server database, Performance Data Warehouse database, and Common database. The Common database contains Business Space and other components. You must create the databases before ND.
If you are using the federated repositories as a user registry, you can ignore warnings in the systemout.log file about maximum key length: ... Warning! The maximum key length is 900 bytes .... If you are using the stand-alone LDAP registry, ensure that the number of characters in all the user distinguished name (DN) entries in your organization do not exceed the 131 character limit. If the number of characters in any of the user DN entries exceeds 131 characters, you must change the user account registry to the federated repositories option.
- Create SQL Server databases
Create required databases before creating profiles.
- Create database design files for SQL Server
You can specify the design of your database configuration by using the database design tool. The design can be for a specific component or for an enterprise-level database configuration supporting the full functionality of IBM BPM.
