To create a Contenta database to use with the Contenta Explorer, follow these steps:
Procedure
- Log in as an administrator user (a user with administrator privileges).
- Establish the Contenta environment by sourcing the pdm.cshrc file:
source /pdm/bin/pdm.cshrc
Note: SDL recommends that you add this line to the administrator user’s .chsrc file so it is automatically done each time the administrator logs in.
- Create a new database. At the Linux prompt enter:
cd /pdm/bin newdb.pl -dbase dbname@SID
where dbname is the (user-defined) name of the Contenta database, and SID is the Oracle system identifier as added in the tnsnames.ora file.
