DBMS Installation

Both DB2 and Oracle are supported as database servers. DB2 is the name used on Windows and UNIX platforms; on IBM® z/OS® the name is IBM DB2® for z/OS . Both DB2 and Oracle may be installed on a given machine but typically it is necessary to install only one of the databases.

Please refer to the Cúram Supported Prerequisites document for a comprehensive list of supported versions of database management systems (DBMS).

Note: No particular character set is recommended for installation and setup of the DBMS. The character set configured should be appropriate for the character range that will be used in the application. For example, theUTF-8 character set is required to support symbols which fall outside single byte character set encoding, such as Microsoft Word smart quotes, as well as to support specific language character sets such as Chinese.
