Database setup

You need to set up the database before you begin installation.

You can setup the database in one of the following ways.
  • Use your database Docker image
  • Connect to an external database system
If your database resides in an external system, the configuration of the following parameters, in Unica Helm chart, is mandatory.
  • Database Users
  • Tablespace Users
  • Operating System Users

The database can reside within Kubernetes cluster. If the database resides within the Kubernetes cluster, use any available database image, and edit the Unica Helm chart. Ensure that user creation is complete before the Unica solution starts.

For example, to use JBoss, within the cluster or external DB, complete the following steps.
  1. Download Unica Docker images and Helm Chart.
  2. Add the installable JBoss and JDBC Drivers to the mount location.
  3. Create Databases and Users and enter those details in the Unica Helm Chart.

If you set the Database as a sub-chart in Unica chart, you can completely automate data import using Shell scripts. For import, data should be available on the Database container mount point. You can also place the data after the container starts. Ensure that Database configuration and user creation activity is completed before running the Unica chart.
