A broker stores internal performance and operational data in a database that you must create and configure before you create the broker.
Multiple
brokers that are at the same version can store their tables in a single
database schema, if appropriate, even if they are not on the same
computer.
If you are migrating from a previous release,
refer to the migration section for tasks specific to database configuration
when you migrate components, and make sure that you migrate brokers
that share a database schema at the same time.
