When you create a schema repository, you can also create a sample
user database. A sample user database is a working user database that provides
40 sample defect records of user information, plus sample queries and reports.
Sample user databases can be used to learn how Rational® ClearQuest® software
works and to help train users.
Before you create any Rational ClearQuest database,
you must create an empty database container with tools provided by the database
vendor.
To create a sample database:
- Start the Maintenance Tool. Then
click .
- In the Existing Connections pane, enter a name for
the schema repository connection in the highlighted item and press Enter.
By default, the first connection name is 7.0.0.
You can rename the connection later.
- In the Schema Repository Properties area,
select a database vendor and enter the required properties. The properties
for each database are different.
- Click Next.
- In the ClearQuest Data Code Page window, select the data code page
to use with the new schema repository. You can choose any supported data code
page supported by Rational ClearQuest.
The default data code page is the one associated with the user-interface language
for the operating system on which the Maintenance Tool is running, if that
code page is supported. If that code page is not supported, the default data
code page is ASCII.
- Click Create sample database.
- Select a predefined schema to use for the sample database.
- Enter a database name of five bytes or less. The default name is
SAMPL.
- Enter a description of the sample database.
- Click Next. In the Sample User Database
Properties area, select the database vendor for the sample user database and
enter the required database properties.
- Click Finish.
After you set the value for the Rational ClearQuest data
code page, the value for the new schema repository and its user databases
is verified to ensure that it is compatible with the character set selected
for the vendor database.
