adl_mk_dbCreating a database |
| Quick Reference | ||
AbstractThe adl_mk_db declares a new SCM database. This commands is to be used when installing SCM the first time and when adding a new SCM department database. |
adl_mk_db database_name [-desc description] [-central | -no_central] [-dept | -no_dept] [-monitor | -no_monitor] [-h | -help | -?]
The name of a database is the one used for creating it and that is used afterwards when connecting to it. For example, the name that must be registered for the SCM central database is the same as the value of the environment variable ADL_CENTRAL_DB_ID. Refer to the "Getting Started" documentation to have more information about database names.
A SCM database can be either a central database, a monitor database or a department database but
The smallest SCM installation is composed of a single database for storing the three kinds of information: central, monitor, departmental.
When development projects grow (data managed, number of users involved, ...), it can be interesting to dispatch information among several databases that are then declared as SCM department databases.
Note that the purpose of the adl_mk_db command is to declare a new database, not
to create it physically. The database must exist and the adl_mk_db will check
that a connection can be made with it. Please, refer to the appropriate
documentation of the underlying database management system (Oracle, DB2, etc) to
know how to create a new database.
