You can
create the required database tables either before or after configuring IBM® Business Process Manager. The
important thing to remember is that the databases (including their
tables, schemas, and so on) must exist before the IBM Business Process Manager servers
try to use them.
If you are planning to configure Business Process
Choreographer, see Planning
the topology, setup, and configuration path.
You can create
the common database before, during, or after you create the
IBM Business Process Manager profile.
- Before you configure IBM Business Process Manager:
- Edit and run the default scripts that come with IBM Business Process Manager. You
can use the default scripts to create only the common database and
Business Process Choreographer tables.
- Use the design file that was created using the database design
tool (DDT). See Creating
database design files by using the database design tool.
- After you configure IBM Business Process Manager:
- Use the Profile Management Tool to configure IBM Business Process Manager to
work with the tables in the database as you create the profile. You
can create and configure the database tables during profile creation,
or delay creation and configuration until after the profile has been
created. Use the Profile Management Tool to generate database scripts
that you can use to create and configure the database tables. These
generated scripts are ready to use. No editing is required.
- Use the design file that you created using the database design
tool (DDT). See Creating
