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
- 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 |
- Modify the parameters in the response file as appropriate for your
database configuration.
- 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.
