Creating a database response file

A database response file is a text file specifying parameters for configuring the event database. These parameters vary depending on the type of database being used.

Why and when to perform this task

If you are upgrading an existing Cloudscape event database, you must use the same response file you used when you originally configured the database. A backup copy of this response file is created during the Common Event Infrastructure installation and saved as install_root/event/dbconfig/CloudscapeResponseFile.bak.

To create a database response file, follow these steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Using an ASCII text editor, open one of the sample database response files. These files are located in the install_root/event/dbconfig directory. Select the sample response file for the database software you are using:
    Database Sample response file
    Cloudscape CloudscapeResponseFile.txt
    DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows DB2ResponseFile.txt
    Oracle Database OracleResponseFile.txt
  2. Modify the parameters in the response file as appropriate for your database configuration.
  3. Save the file to your Common Event Infrastructure installation directory. You can give the modified response file any name you want to use; you specify this file when you run the database configuration script.
