Creating a Contenta database

To create a Contenta database to use with the Contenta Explorer, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Log in as an administrator user (a user with administrator privileges).
  2. Establish the Contenta environment by sourcing the pdm.cshrc file:
    source /pdm/bin/pdm.cshrc
  3. 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.
