Annotations

About this task

IBM® AD Batch Server reads the configurations present under Annotations Database configurations from IBM AD Configuration Server. The configurations were set in server.properties in previous versions, and according to those settings it creates, if necessary, the repository where all user-defined annotations for all projects are stored.
Note: To make sure that Annotations Database was created in your database repository server instance check the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Go to IBM AD Batch Server installation folder and search for the conf folder.
  2. Open the server.properties file that can be found in conf folder and verify that IBM AD Configuration Server host and environment are correctly filled in. For more information, see Server Properties.
  3. Go to IBM AD Configuration Server > Environment > Configurations > Annotations Database and make sure that Database name, Database schema, and Database server settings are correctly filled in.
  4. Start IBM AD Batch Server.
  5. Go to the database repository instance set-up under Annotations Database configurations from IBM AD Configuration Server and you should find the database having the name mentioned in Database name field.
    Note: By default, IBM AD Batch Server will preserve in Annotations Database only those annotations for projects which are present in the projects list and will delete all other references/annotations. If you want to keep all annotations for all projects including the projects which are deleted at some point, uncomment and enter false.
    ## if true, all references of projects that do not appear in projects list will be deleted from annotations database.
