Database considerations

Install and configure the database for your primary and secondary environments in accordance with your disaster recovery plan.

The underlying database must be included in the same recovery scope of the IBM® Business Process Manager and IBM Business Monitor production environment.

In the examples in the topics in this section, DB2 is the underlying database type.

Installation

For the database installation in the primary environment, follow the instructions in the DB2 installation manual to install and create the DB2 instance and related database users.

For the secondary environment, perform the following tasks:
  1. Install DB2 with the same installation path and instance name as in the primary environment.
  2. Use the same user names and passwords used by DB2 in the system.

Configuration

The database configuration involves the creation of the database and tablespace.

For the primary environment, perform the following tasks:
  1. Manually create all the necessary databases for the environment.
  2. Set the database path to the directory that is mounted on the NFS server.

For the secondary environment, mount the same directory of the database server on the NFS server. No configuration is required before restoration.
