Registering and creating data stores after installation

Some product modules make use of data stores for their supporting information. The IBM® InfoSphere® Information Analyzer database can be created before installation or by the installation program. Other data stores--the operations database, standardization rules designer database, and the exceptions database--can be created by the installation program or you can create them afterward. Depending on the installation options you chose, you might need to register them, create them, or both before you can use them.

Procedure

  • The operations database:

    The operations database is a data store that stores the monitoring data that is displayed by the IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and QualityStage® Operations Console. This data store is offered for installation with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and QualityStage.

    • If you used the installation program to install the repository tier in a Db2 database on the local computer and you did not skip the creation of the operations database, then it would have been registered and created for you during installation.
    • If you connected to a remote Db2 database while installing the services tier, then the operations database would have been registered, but it would not have been created. You must create the operations database on the remote computer by using the scripts that the installation program has created for you.

      The scripts are in the following location on the services tier computer:

      AIX Linux
      IS_install_path/SQLScripts/dsodb
      Windows
      IS_install_path\SQLScripts\dsodb

      For instructions on running the scripts, start at step 3 in Creating the operations database schema.

    • If, during installation, you chose to skip the creation of this database in a Db2 database on the local computer, then you must register and create the operations database schema. Complete all of the steps in Creating the operations database schema.
    • If you are creating the operations database in a non-DB2 database, then you must register and create the operations database schema. Complete all of the steps in Creating the operations database schema.
  • The standardization rules designer database:
    Important: IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Standardization Rules Designer will not be supported after 31 December 2020. No replacement is planned.

    The standardization rules designer database is a data store that stores data that is used by the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Standardization Rules Designer. This data store is offered for installation with IBM InfoSphere QualityStage.

    • If you used the installation program to install the repository tier in a Db2 database on the local computer, then the standardization rules designer database would have been registered and created for you during installation.
    • If you did not use the installation program to install the repository tier, then the standardization rules designer database would have been registered, but it would not have been created. You must create the standardization rules designer database on the remote computer by using the scripts that the installation program has created for you.

      The scripts are in the following location on the services tier computer:

      AIX Linux
      IS_install_path/SQLScripts/qssrd
      Windows
      IS_install_path\SQLScripts\qssrd

      For instructions on running the scripts, start at step 5 in Example: Manually registering a repository.

  • The exceptions database:

    The exceptions database is a data store that stores exception descriptors for the Exceptions stage. This data is used by the Data Quality Exception Console. The exceptions database is not offered for installation by the installation program and must be registered and created after installation if you want to use it.

    To register and create the exceptions database, see Creating the exceptions database schema.
