Creating and configuring a Microsoft SQL
Server database for recording data
To record data to a Microsoft SQL
Server database, create the database, and configure an ODBC definition
to it. Configure your integration node so
that it can connect to the database.

About this task
The following steps describe how to create the SQL Server
database, create an ODBC definition, and set a user ID and password
for the database.
You can use Integrated Windows Authentication to specify
a Windows user account to be used for
authentication when using Microsoft SQL
Server to record and replay data. For more information, see Using Integrated Windows Authentication when recording data with a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Procedure
- Use the script that is provided with IBM Integration Bus to create and configure an
SQL Server database to store your recorded data.
- Locate the script at install_dir\server\ddl\sqlServer\DataCaptureSchema.sql,
where install_dir is
the location of your IBM Integration Bus installation.
- Optional: Customize the provided DataCaptureSchema
script.
If you modify the SQL to specify a particular
schema, you must also set the same schema name in the DataCaptureStore
configurable service.
- To run the script, at a command line, navigate to the
script location and enter the following command:
sqlcmd -d databaseName -i DataCaptureSchema.sql
- Create an ODBC definition for the database.
If
you used the supplied script to create your database without modifications,
create an ODBC definition for the database that is called MBRECORD,
with MBRECORD as the data source name (DSN). For
more information, see Enabling ODBC connections to the databases.
- Use the mqsisetdbparms command
to set a user identifier and password for the integration node to use when it connects
to the database. For example:
mqsisetdbparms integrationNodeName -n dataSourceName -u userID -p password
- integrationNodeName is the name of your integration node.
- dataSourceName identifies the database to which you want to record data.
- userID and password specify the user identifier and the password that the integration node uses to connect to the database.
If Integrated Windows Authentication is being used for SQL Server database access, then the service user ID under which the broker process runs is used by Windows to access the SQL Server database. It ignores any user ID and password credentials that are set using the mqsisetdbparms command.
- To ensure that the changes to the mqsisetdbparms command
take effect, restart the integration node. For more information, see Starting and stopping an integration node.
- Test the connection to your database by using the mqsicvp command. For more information, see mqsicvp command.
