Creating the Translation Manager database

Translation Manager needs a database to store Translation Jobs. Use a PowerShell script to create a database for Translation Manager. If your Translation Manager database is Cloud-based (AWS or Azure), it must use the same database as Content Manager.

Before you begin

The prerequisites for the Translation Manager Database are the same as the Content Manager Database.

Procedure

  1. Open Windows PowerShell from the Windows Start Menu.
  2. In PowerShell, depending on your database navigate to one of the following folders on the installation media:
    • For a Microsoft SQL Server, AWS RDS-MSSQL or Microsoft Azure database, navigate to Database\MSSQL\
    • For an Oracle database, navigate to Database\Oracle\
  3. Type the following command to install the Translation Manager database:
    & '.\Install Translation Manager database.ps1' 
  4. Answer Yes if you are installing an AWS RDS-MSSQL 2016 database and you see the following prompt:
    This database server version is not supported. Supported database server versions are 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP3',
    'Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP2', 'Microsoft SQL Server 2016 SP1'. Do you want to continue anyway?
  5. Follow the instructions in the PowerShell console to create the database.

Results

You have created the Translation Manager database.

What to do next

When you install Translation Manager, you are prompted to provide configuration details.
