Creating Content Platform Engine database accounts

Use your database tools to create new or designate existing database accounts for Content Platform Engine.

About this task

Accounts are referred to in documentation in the following ways:
  • By a display name; for example, Database User Name. An account's display name is how the FileNet® P8 user interface, such as a setup program or dialog box, refers to the account. Many accounts have both a display name and a variable.
  • By a variable designator; for example cpe_db_user, using lower-cased italics and underscores. The variable is intended to show that you must designate your own account to act in the role described by the variable. The variable is the unique identifier for a particular account.

If you see a reference to an account that you do not understand, search the documentation for that reference.

Procedure

Create the following users and groups. After the IT Administrator creates operating system users and groups for DB2® databases, you must grant database permissions to those accounts.
