Create databases
Create databases for the features that you plan to install. You can use the database wizard or run the scripts that are provided with Lotus Connections.
Each Lotus Connections feature requires its own database, except Mobile, News, and Search. Mobile does not have an associated database or content store, and the News and Search features share the HOMEPAGE database. The database wizard automates the process of creating databases for the features that you plan to install. It is a more reliable method for creating databases because it validates the databases as you create them. Consult your database documentation for detailed information about preparing your databases.
You must have already created and started a database instance before you can create databases.
