Creating the Topology Manager database
Topology Manager Server requires a Topology Manager database. Use a PowerShell script to create a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database. (The prerequisites for a Topology Manager database are identical to those of a Content Manager database.)
Before you begin
- Database server
-
Before running a PowerShell script:
- On Oracle—make sure that there are no open database connections and configure the Oracle database server.
- On Microsoft SQL Server—configure the Microsoft SQL Server database server.
- Database credentials
-
PowerShell scripts prompt you for the following information:
- DBA and user credentials (unless you created an Oracle SDL Web administrator user)
- the server and port number (if non-standard) where your database server resides
- Database details
-
PowerShell scripts prompt you to provide the following information which you will need to store in a safe place along with Database credentials as you will need it when you install and configure the Content Manager and Content Delivery:
- the name of the database
- the name of the database user
