Running the script to configure your database for IBM Content Navigator

Information about your IBM® Content Navigator web application is stored in a database. After you install IBM Content Navigator, you use the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool to update the sample script for your database environment. Then, you run the script on your database to configure the database for IBM Content Navigator.

Before you begin

Before you can configure your database for IBM Content Navigator, you must make the script available to your database server. You can make the scripts available by:
  • Copying the script to your database server
  • Making the script available to your database server from a shared network drive
By default, the updated script is in the \configure\dbscripts subdirectory of the IBM Content Navigator installation directory.
Table 1. Default location of the updated database script
Operating system Default location
AIX® /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/dbscripts
Linux /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/dbscripts
Linux for System z® /opt/IBM/ECMClient/configure/dbscripts
Windows C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\ECMClient\configure\dbscripts

The updated script for each type of database is in the following subdirectory of the dbscripts directory: \database_type\modified. Use the modified files for your database type, for example, use the script in the \db2\modified directory if your database is a DB2® for Linux, UNIX and Windows database.

Important: Do not use the scripts in the database subdirectories (db2, db2zos, oracle, and sql). The scripts in the database subdirectories do not include the information that you specified in the IBM Content Navigator Configuration and Deployment Tool.
