Preparing your database for deployment

Maximo® Manage supports IBM® Db2®, IBM Db2 Warehouse, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle Database. Configure your database and gather the information that is needed when you deploy the application.

Before you begin

Tip: Set up your database at the same site as IBM Maximo Application Suite to reduce the chances of database failures because of connection issues and data latency. If you have issues when you set up the database during Maximo Manage deployment, troubleshoot the deployment. For more information, see Troubleshooting database deployment.

  • The database name.
  • The username and password for the database user. These values are created as part of configuring the database.
