The Database administrator must prepare the databases required for FileNet® P8, including gathering information about data sources, creating databases and database accounts.
- Review all rows assigned to the Database administrator (DBA) in
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet. While
you complete the following preparation tasks, provide values for the
rows that are appropriate to your installation. (Your organization
might have different roles, and some of the responsibilities of listed
roles will vary from those assigned by default in this documentation.)Tip: With the command enabled, as it is by default in the shipping worksheet file (p8_worksheet.xls), perform the following actions to quickly see only the properties assigned to a particular Role:
- Click the AutoFilter drop-down arrow in the Role column header and select DBA.
- Further filter the result set by clicking the AutoFilter drop-down arrow in any of the other columns and selecting a value or clear a filter by selecting (All).
- If you are installing in a non-English environment, review the information and procedures in Preparing non-English environments for installing FileNet P8 before you begin your preparation tasks.
If you are installing Content Platform Engine in a highly available
environment, it is important that you follow the high availability
steps within the Content Platform Engine installation
tasks. If Content Platform Engine becomes
unavailable due to a system failure, the other components are affected
as well.- Review the information in Tuning FileNet P8 databases.
