Pre-installing databases

The IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server installation program can install the metadata repository database and analysis database for you (along with other product module databases in the repository tier) if you choose to install the InfoSphere Information Server repository tier on a local computer. Or, you can choose to install the metadata repository database and analysis database yourself on a new or existing database system before you install InfoSphere Information Server. The following tasks describe how to install the databases before you install InfoSphere Information Server, if that is what you choose to do.
