A schema repository is a database used to store and manage a group
of schemas including all versions of those schemas, and their associated user
databases.
Before you begin
Before you create a schema repository, you must create an empty database
container with tools provided by the database vendor.
About this task
To create a schema repository:
- 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,
choose the Feature Level for the schema repository.
The default feature level is the latest level available. Then
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.
- You have the option of creating a sample user database.
- Click Finish.
Results
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.
