Create a Database

When you are installing CA GovernanceMinder, you may not want to provide database credentials during installation. Instead, manually create the database and then run the installer and provide the database information when prompted. To manually create a database, use the DBUtil tool.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that a local instance of Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle is available.
2. Copy the CA-RCM-12.6.01-Core.zip file from the CA GovernanceMinder installation package to a temporary location, and extract the file.
3. Navigate to the DBUtil tool in a Command Prompt window.

   The DBUtil tool is located in the following directory where you extracted the installation package:

   \CA-RCM-12.6.01-Core\Utils&Conf\DB Utility

4. Enter one of the following commands:
   • Microsoft SQL Server: dbutil.bat -c_i2 -d alpha_rdb -h localhost -u sa -p capassword
   • Oracle: dbutil.bat  -c_i2  -d db1  -h  localhost -u i2db -p eurekify -su system -sp eurekify -ven oracle

   The CA GovernanceMinder database is created on the database server.
