Database naming conventions

Consider the naming conventions you use for databases, both for databases that you create for WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker product use (for broker tables and the configuration repository) and for databases that you create for application use.

Your configuration repository is owned and managed by the Configuration Manager. Database tables used for brokers can be unique and local to the broker, or can be shared, because the rows of the tables specific to each individual broker incorporate the name of the broker. You might need to align the naming of all these databases with other databases that are in use in your broker domain.

See Creating the databases for details of creating the database tables for WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker.

Also ensure that the databases used for application data (accessed through message flows) are uniquely named throughout your network, so that there is no opportunity for confusion or error.
