Prerequisites

Before you can work with the CDS API, you must take the following actions:

  • Create the database tables for IBM My webMethods Server using the IBM webMethods Database Configurator. This is usually carried out immediately after installation.
  • Create and initialize the IBM My webMethods Server instance.
  • Initialize CDS with a JDBC connection to the IBM My webMethods Server database schema. For more information, see Initializing Common Directory Services.
  • Configure a Universal Messaging server to use as a JMS provider from the Cluster Administration page in My webMethods after installing IBM My webMethods Server, or when creating a new instance using the IBM My webMethods Server command line utility or IBM webMethods Command Central.
