Set up databases

This topic provides instructions on automatically setting up your database using...

ConfigEngine task to create users, grant permissions, and create Java Content Repository table spaces. As an alternative to automatically setting up the database, you can manually set up your database. Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• Supported database software is installed.

• Property files are modified.

• Database user names and passwords should not contain spaces and should comply with both the database management system software requirements and WebSphere Portal requirements for administering users and groups.




Prerequisites

Installing Oracle RAC

Create users

Creating databases

Modifying database properties

1. On the database server, make sure that the folder db_1 contains the subfolders your_oracle_instance/data and your_oracle_instance/index.

   If this folder hierarchy does not exist, create it manually before you run the setup-database task. The setup-database task requires these folders to create database users. If these folders do not exist, the setup-database task will fail.

2. cd profile_root/ConfigEngine

3. To create the database users, type the following command:

   • ConfigEngine.bat setup-database -DWasPassword=password

   This task will automatically create the necessary users permissions, and table spaces.
