Create an object store

The Create an Object Store wizard steps you through creating an object store. After successfully completing the wizard, the newly created object store appears in IBM Administrative Console for Content Engine and Enterprise Manager. The default object store objects, such as document class, property template, and choice lists, are also displayed.

NOTE  Before running this wizard, you must first create a target database and database user for the object store, and you must also create the necessary connection pools and data sources in your application server to access the database. For more information, see Creating the data sources for an object store. If you encounter timeout errors when you create an object store or when you subsequently import add-on features, the transaction timeout value setting might be too low. To modify the transaction timeout value, see the appropriate topic for your application server:
