Creating the Translation Manager database

Translation Manager needs a database to store Translation Jobs. You use a PowerShell script to create a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database for Translation Manager.

Before you begin

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

To install or upgrade SDL Tridion databases on a Windows machine requires Windows PowerShell 3.0 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher.

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:
    • Database\MSSQL\ or
    • Database\Oracle\
  3. Type the following command to install the Translation Manager database:
    & '.\Install Translation Manager database.ps1' 
  4. 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.
