Configuring and Administering CA XCOM Management Center › Update the Global Parameters File › Database Parameters

Database Parameters

The CA XCOM Management Center server needs access to a DB2 or MySQL database, in which it stores configuration information. The database parameters are used to define the database server information needed by CA XCOM Management Center to access this database.

The CA XCOM Management Center installer sets the database parameters initially, according to values entered during product installation. The installer also verifies the parameters by ensuring the ability to connect to the designated server. These parameters can be changed later, and changes are accepted only if CA XCOM Management Center retains its ability to connect to the database server and access its database.

Datasource name

Identifies the JDBC data source, which defines the database server to be used.

User ID and Password

Used by CA XCOM Management Center to access and update its database tables. The specified user must have full access rights to all objects in CA XCOM Management Center’s database, including the tables and indexes.

DataBase Creator

The database schema name for DB2 database.

Default: The same as User Name (if not specified)

Important! The DataBase Creator parameter must not be coded for MySQL databases.
