Your broker domain requires databases to
support product components (the broker and the Configuration Manager;
the User Name Server has no requirement for database
access).
You can
choose to create and configure these databases on the local system, or on
a remote system, subject to the following restrictions:
- You can use only DB2 for the configuration repository
for the Configuration Manager. You are recommended to use
a local database for this repository, mainly for performance reasons. If you
choose to use a remote database, you must create and configure it on a distributed
system. A DB2 database on z/OS or OS/400 is not supported.
You can use a local or remote database for
the Configuration Manager, with the exception that a remote
database cannot be accessed on z/OS or OS/400.
- You can use a local or remote database for the broker tables,
with the exception that a remote database cannot be accessed on z/OS or OS/400.
- If you choose to use a remote database, you must configure the ODBC connection
to the database correctly. Refer to the documentation for the database product
that you are using for further information.
See the documentation for your database product using for WebSphere
Business Integration Event Broker to
determine the best options for your specific environment and requirements,
and information about how to configure remote databases access.
