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. For details, refer to the topic on Translation Manager prerequisites.

Procedure

  1. On a system that meets the prerequisites for database installation and upgrade scripts, open PowerShell.
  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. Follow the instructions in the PowerShell console to create the database.
  5. For a Microsoft SQL Server database, you can add an -IntegratedSecurity switch to let the script know that you want to use the current Windows account credentials to access the database, rather than specifying a database username and password.

Results

You have created the Translation Manager database.

What to do next

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