To use a PostgreSQL database with the blueprint design server, before you install the
blueprint design server, install the PostgreSQL database.
About this task
Before you install the blueprint design server, install PostgreSQL. If you are evaluating
IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy, you can install the database on the same system as the blueprint design server.
For example,
the command to install PostgreSQL on a Red Had Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 system might look like the following
example:
yum -y install postgresql-server
The command to initialize and start
the PostgreSQL database on a RHEL 7 system might look like the following
example:
postgresql-setup initdb ; systemctl start postgresql
Note: The blueprint design server requires data from the database to be encoded in
UTF-8.
The installation files for the blueprint designer contain the JDBC file that is
required for the blueprint design server to communicate with the PostgreSQL database.
