The various subcomponents of theTelecom Web Services Server consists of Access Gateway, Service Policy Manager, Service Platform components, and the TWSS Administration Console. These store information about transactions, services, and configurations in one or more databases. You have several options for choosing the database configuration that is best suited for you.
Note: The DDLs are modified so that the DROP statements are commented out generally. This occurs so that the firststeps process has the ability to drop the tables selectively, depending on the configuration mode. If you manually use a DDL file to create a distributed database, you can uncomment the DROP statements in the file if you desire to recreate the database tables.
Telecom Web Services Server supports connections to both Oracle and DB2® databases.
The installation instructions in this information center assume that you are using one of two database configurations:
- Consolidated or shared, in which all of the tables (including the Parlay Connector tables) are created into a single database instance. This is the default configuration to get a single Telecom Web Services Server system up and running.
- Distributed, achieved by first initializing the system using a consolidated database and then migrating particular tables to other database instances as desired.
When setting up the database server, you should include failover mechanisms. Also, use a high performance server with sufficient Disk I/O capabilities for your database server.
