Managing WebSphere® Business Monitor databases
is particularly important during the installation and deployment phases of WebSphere Business Monitor.
Managing databases includes the following tasks:
- Creating databases
- Setting the appropriate databases configuration
- Creating static and dynamic database tables and indexes
- Deploying the generated replication scripts
- Deploying the cube view metadata definitions
- Maintaining databases
Note: Throughout the WebSphere Business Monitor documentation,
the underlying schemas of various databases are discussed. Some of the Schema
Generator output provides insight into the nature of the WebSphere Business Monitor database
schemas. While the DBA will likely make use of this information for maintaining
and tuning the datastore, this information should not be taken as the definition
of a public API. It is entirely possible and likely that future versions
of WebSphere Business Monitor will change this
underlying scheme. Customers should not develop infrastructure that assumes
that backward compatibility to these schemas will be maintained in future
releases. Custom code written to make use of the WebSphere Business Monitor databases
may, and probably will, not be compatible with future product releases.
The following information will help you plan and prepare for managing the WebSphere Business Monitor databases.
