To create and configure a broker database:

  1. Create the database.
  2. Authorize access to the database.
  3. Enable an ODBC connection to the database.
  4. If you are creating a publish/subscribe broker domain and you are have created a Sybase broker database, configure the database to support retained publications.
Next: the broker database is now configured for use. Continue with configuring broker domain components.
