You can create a new database in HPE IDOL Server by using one of the following methods:
Send a DRECREATEDBASE index action to HPE IDOL Server.
This action does not complete if the configuration file is read-only.
Add a database to the HPE IDOL Server configuration file.
To create a new database by this method, send a DRECREATEDBASE action (case sensitive) from your Web browser:
http://IDOLhost:indexPort/DRECREATEDBASE?DREDbName=databaseName
where:
IDOLhost
|
is the IP address or host name of the machine on which HPE IDOL Server is installed. |
indexPort
|
is the HPE IDOL Server index port (specified as IndexPort in the [Server] section of the HPE IDOL Server configuration file). |
databaseName
|
is the name of the database that you want to create. |
For example:
http://12.3.4.56:20001/DRECREATEDBASE?DREDbName=Archive
This action uses port 20001 to create a new database named Archive on the HPE IDOL Server machine with the IP address 12.3.4.56.
For information about other available parameters, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
Use the following procedure to add a database to the HPE IDOL Server configuration file.
Open the HPE IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.
Find the [Databases] section. This section contains the NumDBs setting, which indicates how many databases HPE IDOL Server currently contains. It also contains a section for each of these databases, with settings that apply to them. The names of the individual database sections use the format DatabaseN, where N numbers the databases in consecutive order, starting from 0 (zero).
For example:
[Databases] NumDBs=2 [Database0] Name=News [Database1] Name=Archive
Increase the NumDBs setting by one.
For example:
[Databases] NumDBs=3
Create a section for the new database. The name of the section must use the format DatabaseN, where N numbers the databases in consecutive order, starting from 0 (zero).
Use the Name parameter to specify a name for your new database.
For example:
[Databases] NumDBs=3 [Database0] Name=News [Database1] Name=Archive [Database2] Name=myNewDatabase
Save and close the configuration file. Restart HPE IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.
You can add a new database for the Content or Agentstore components, or IDOL Proxy, from the Databases page in the Control section of the IDOL Admin interface.
Click Create.
