IBM Workload Automation, Version 9.3

Creating or upgrading the IBM Workload Scheduler database tables before installing or upgrading

Depending on the IBM Workload Scheduler component you install, you have the following database tables:
Master domain manager or backup master domain manager:
  • IBM Workload Scheduler tables
  • Dynamic workload broker tables.
Dynamic domain manager or backup dynamic domain manager:
Dynamic workload broker tables.

Start of changeFor DB2® and Oracle, the procedure to create or upgrade the IBM Workload Scheduler and Dynamic workload broker database tables described in this section is not mandatory for the installation or upgrade of IBM Workload Scheduler. The database tables can be created or upgraded at the same time as when you install or upgrade the component when you choose the Installation Manager wizard or silent installation methods. The database administrator must run the manual procedure to create or upgrade the IBM Workload Scheduler database tables before the installation of IBM Workload Scheduler only when the IT administrator who installs the product does not know the database administrator user ID and password. Otherwise, the IT administrator provides the database administrator user ID and password during the installation and the tables are automatically created and upgraded during the installation or the upgrade of the product.End of change

Start of changeFor Informix® Dynamic Server and MicroSoft SQL Server, this manual procedure is mandatory, and you must create or upgrade the IBM Workload Scheduler schema on these databases before you proceed to run the configuration script (described in Installing for an Informix Dynamic Server or in Installing for a Microsoft SQL Server database) after installing or upgrading the product.End of change

Using this procedure, the database administrator creates or upgrades the database tables before the IT administrator installs or upgrades the product with a user different from the database administrator user. The procedure ensures that only the database administrator manages all the confidential information related to the database, such as the administrator user ID and password, and the IT administrator can install or upgrade the product without knowing any confidential database information.

This section describes the procedures to follow for creating and upgrading the IBM Workload Scheduler and the dynamic workload broker database tables before installing or upgrading IBM Workload Scheduler when using one of the following databases:
