Creating required databases
Before you install, create the required databases for IBM Business Automation Workflow Authoring.
Important:
You can choose to create the databases in Db2®, Oracle, or PostgreSQL. When you are configuring or provisioning your database server, make sure that the database server or service is in the same data center or cluster as your IBM Cloud Pak® for Business Automation deployment. For better performance, make sure there is little latency between the applications or containers and the database server.
External databases can be used by many of the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation components to persist data. You must provision the database instances and make sure that they are accessible from the cluster, or reuse existing database instances.
