Setting up the database

Edit online

When you set up a database, the typical order is to create a database, configure the properties file, and then create the database tables. Choose the set of instructions that best matches your environment for configuring the database.

Note: Apache Derby database is only supported for evaluation purpose in a POC environment, but not in the production environment. This limitation applies to all Engineering Lifecycle Management applications including Jazz® Authorization Server.
Note:
These instructions do not apply to the parts that are being installed or configured on IBM® i and z/OS® operating systems. See these sections for further information about those installations:
Fast path: If you are using the included Apache Derby database no additional setup is necessary. Proceed to Deploying and starting the server.
The overview steps for setting up a database are as follows:
  1. Create a database.
  2. Configure the properties files. You can complete this step with the Setup wizard.
  3. Create the database tables. You can complete this step with the Setup wizard.
Important: The data warehouse database must be created with case-sensitive collation.

Required permissions

Db2
  • The user in the teamserver.properties file must have system administrator authority over the database.
  • If you are creating a database with a user other than the one specified in the teamserver.properties file, you must grant DBADM authority to that user.
  • The DBADM user must be able to create and drop tables. Select, insert, delete, and update those tables. Run statistics on the tables and also to be able to create a deadlock monitor for Jazz and have use of the user temporary table space.
  • Data warehouse: The RPTUSER user will be granted select privileges to the data warehouse views during the setup wizard.
Oracle
  • To create and set up an Oracle database, the user who is preparing the database must have database administration authority over the database and that the database, tablespace storage, and appropriate storage configuration is created by a user with system administration authority.
  • After the tablespaces are created, a special Oracle user must be created for each application to use the Oracle database. For multiple Jazz servers that run on one Oracle database, an Oracle database user must be created for each application. The Oracle database user must be able to create database objects in its tablespace (either unlimited or with a space quota) with privileges to create session, table, procedure, and views.
  • Data warehouse: The creation of the data warehouse on Oracle requires more permissions as compared to other databases. When you specify the database user in the connection spec for data warehouse, ensure that the database user has DBA permissions. You can change this permission after the data warehouse is created. To create the data warehouse without DBA permissions, see Create Oracle data warehouse without DBA permissions .
