Setting up a database

The Rational® Adapter for Git requires a database.

About this task

You must set up either a DB2® database or an Oracle database to work with the Rational Adapter for Git. The Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management includes software and instructions to setup up a DB2 or an Oracle database. Follow the steps to set up a Jazz Team Server as the Rational Adapter for Git database. Use a unique name for your database, for example, GIT.

If you plan to set up a DB2 database, see Setting up a DB2 database.

If plan to set up an Oracle database, see Setting up an Oracle database.

Important: If you prefer, you can use the Apache Derby database that is included with the default CLM installation. Using the Apache Derby database is for simple trials or small teams. When you use the Apache Derby, the server limits the number of Developer users (including 10 Free, Workgroup, and IBM Enterprise Platforms) to a maximum of 10. To avoid this limitation, you must install and setup a DB2 database or an Oracle database to work with the Rational Adapter for Git.
