Summary

As part of the installation of the Workload Automation (formerly known as IBM Workload Scheduler) product, an RDBMS database must be configured. The Oracle database, which is a supported RDBMS of the Workload Automation product suite allows users to quickly store and retrieve data safely.

This database is not packaged with the Workload Automation, and must be installed separately.
