Database Configuration page

When you select your database product on the Database Configuration page in the Profile Management Tool, a follow-up page, called the Database Configuration - WSRR page, asks you for database-specific information. It contains slightly different fields and default values, depending on your database product selection.

You must complete this page even if you have selected the Only generate the database scripts to be executed manually after the profile has been created option. The values you choose on the Database Configuration page are added to the database configuration scripts stored in the directory you specified in the Database script output directory field on the previous page (or in the default directory for these scripts if you did not specify a different location).

Choose the link for your database product from the following list to determine how to complete the Database Configuration page:

When you have completed the Database Configuration page, click Next. If the Profile Management Tool is creating the database or database tables for you, the tool checks that a valid connection exists to the database. If the tool identifies an error, you must correct the problem before continuing by either making sure that the database is running or altering parameters in order to make a good connection.

The Profile Summary page is displayed. Depending on the topic from which you accessed this one, return to one of the following steps:
