Notes
The installation adds tables, indexes, views, and stored procedures. The installer is for the most part self-explanatory. Follow the instructions on screen. The following are notes for those parts that require additional explanation:
- Database name: To install a Repository server on a DBMS server that already has a Repository server installed on it, enter a unique database name for the new server. Any changes to the database name are also applied to the data and log file names.
- Automatic Growth for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or later: To allow for automatic growth of the database file, click Allow Growth, and then enter a Growth Rate. Express the growth rate as either a percentage of the current database size or the number of MB to add to the database when the database is becoming full. Select the maximum size of the file as either Unlimited or click SIze, and then enter the maximum file size in MB.
- Use the New Oracle User dialog to create a new user and provide temporary tablespace information for the user. The dialog is self-explanatory, except for the following user identification options:
- Password: If selected, indicates that Oracle should identify the user with the password provided.
- Externally: If selected, indicates that Oracle should verify the database user name against an existing operating system user name.
- Globally: If selected, indicates that Oracle will permit access to the user by obtaining user name and password information from the security domain central authority. This option is only available for Oracle 8.
- Error Log Viewer: The Error Log View appears if there is a problem creating your Repository database. If you get an error, review the Repository Database requirements to make sure you meet them.
