Creating or augmenting network deployment profiles with an SQL Server database server

You can configure a network deployment environment for IBM® Business Process Manager using a Microsoft SQL Server database server.

Preparing the SQL Server database server
During the profile creation or augmentation process, you can configure the Common database that is used by selected components, or you can postpone the database configuration by producing scripts that must be run manually by you or your database administrator (DBA). The other required databases are configured during network deployment.
Creating or augmenting deployment manager profiles
To start the network deployment configuration, create or augment a deployment manager. You can create profiles using the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command-line utility.
Creating or augmenting custom profiles
As part of the network deployment configuration, you must create or augment at least one custom profile. A custom profile contains an empty node that you must federate into a deployment manager cell to make operational. Federating the custom profile changes it into a managed node.
