Preparing the databases
The databases that you prepare before deployment are determined by the optional applications you want to include. For any IBM FileNet® Content Manager Deployment, you must prepare databases for the Global Configuration Database and at least one object store.
About this task
When configuring or provisioning your database server, make sure that the database server or service is in the same data center or cluster as your Cloud Pak for Automation deployment. For operational and performance reasons, it is important that there is little latency between the applications or containers and the database server.
