Configuring Microsoft SQL Server

You can use Microsoft SQL Server as a supporting database with IBM® UrbanCode Release server. Create the database before you install IBM UrbanCode Release. Typically the database is installed on a computer other than the one where the server is located.

About this task

When you install IBM UrbanCode Release, you need the database connection information and the JDBC JAR file. The user account for the database must have table creation privileges.

Procedure

  1. Create a Microsoft SQL Server database named ibm_ucr. The following commands are an example of how you might create this database:
    CREATE DATABASE ibm_ucr
    ;
    
    USE ibm_ucr
    ;
    CREATE LOGIN ibm_ucr
     WITH PASSWORD = 'password';
    CREATE USER ibm_ucr
     FOR LOGIN ibm_ucr
     WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = ibm_ucr
    ;
    CREATE SCHEMA ibm_ucr
     AUTHORIZATION ibm_ucr
    ;
    GRANT ALL TO ibm_ucr
    ;
  2. Obtain the SQL Server JDBC driver JAR file from the Microsoft site. The JDBC JAR file is not included with the installation files. This file must be available when you run IBM Installation Manager.
  3. Record the values of the database parameters so that you can supply them when you run IBM Installation Manager and install IBM UrbanCode Release. The following parameters are typical for an installation of Microsoft SQL Server used to support IBM UrbanCode Release:
    Parameter Value
    Database user name ibm_ucr
    Database password user_account_password
    Database driver class com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Database connection string jdbc:sqlserver://database_server:1433;databaseName=ibm_ucr
