Creating and populating the Marketing Platform system tables manually

When you install Marketing Platform, you can select the option where the installer creates the Marketing Platform system tables automatically. Alternatively, you can manually create the system tables.

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to create and populate the system tables manually:
  1. Run the HCL® installer as described in installing_platform_gui_mode.html, but with the following differences in your choices when it launches the Marketing Platform installer.
    • Select Manual database setup.
    • Deselect the Run Platform configuration checkbox.
  2. After the installer finishes, create the system tables manually by running the following SQL scripts appropriate for your database type against your Marketing Platform system table database, as described in SQL scripts for creating system tables.

    Run the scripts in this order.

    • ManagerSchema_DBType.sql

      If you plan to support multi-byte characters (for example, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) and your database is DB2®, use the ManagerSchema_DB2_unicode.sql script.

    • ManagerSchema__DBType_CeateFKConstraints.sql
    • active_portlets.sql
    • quartz__DBType.sql
  3. Run the populateDB utility to populate the system tables with default users and roles.

    Use this command:

    populateDb -n Manager

    See populateDb for complete details on using this utility.

  4. Run the HCL installer again, making the following selections when it launches the Marketing Platform installer.
    • Select Manual database setup.
    • Select the Run Platform configuration checkbox.

      This adds default configuration properties to the system tables.
