Creating a schema repository

A schema repository is a database that stores and manages a group of schemas, including all versions of those schemas and their associated user databases.

1. Start the Maintenance Tool. Then click Schema Repository > Create.
2. In the Existing Connections pane, enter a name for the schema repository connection in the highlighted item and press Enter.
   Tip: You can rename the connection later.
3. 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.
4. Click Next.
5. In the Data Code Page window, select the data code page to use with the new schema repository. You can choose any data code page that is supported by HCL Compass. The default data code page is associated with the language of the operating system on which the Maintenance Tool is running, if the code page is supported. If the code page is not supported, the default is ASCII.
6. You have the option of creating a sample user database.
7. Click Finish.
