7.4.1 How to create an asset management database

To create an asset management database:

  1. Specify necessary information in the dialog box for setting information about the cluster system.

    To specify necessary information, use the following dialog box for setting cluster system information.

    Figure 7‒4: Dialog box for setting cluster system information

    [Figure]

    If you do not use Asset Console in a cluster environment, do not specify anything here and go to step 2.

    If you use Asset Console in a cluster environment, select the Used in cluster system environment check box. The following describes each item to be specified for both executing and standby databases.

    For the executing database

    • Execution mode / Standby mode

      Select Execution mode. By default this item is selected.

    • Logical host name

      Specifies the name of a logical host created in the cluster system. The permitted value is 1 to 64 bytes of alphanumeric characters, double-byte characters, and %, -, and _.

    For the standby database

    • Execution mode / Standby mode

      Select Standby mode.

    • Logical host name

      Specifies the name of a logical host created in the cluster system. The permitted value is 1 to 64 bytes of alphanumeric characters, double-byte characters, and %, -, and _.

    • Execution system host name

      Specifies the name of an executing host created in the cluster system. The permitted value is 1 to 64 bytes of alphanumeric characters, double-byte characters, and %, -, and _.

    For details about how to rename logical hosts, see F.3 Renaming the host. For details about how to rename the executing host, see 7.12.6(1)(b) How to rename the executing host.

  2. Click the Next button.

    The following Basic Database Settings dialog box appears.

  3. In the Basic Database Settings dialog box, specify Port number.

    The following describes each item in the dialog box.

    • Port number

      Specify the port number of the database server to be connected. Specify a port number that is not used as an integer from 5001 to 65535. By default, 31022 is specified.

    • ODBC data source name

      Displays the value specified for Service name in the Server Setup dialog box. This item cannot be changed.

    • Connection user ID

      Displays the value specified for Login ID in the Server Setup dialog box. This item cannot be changed.

  4. Click the Next button.

    The following Detailed Database Settings dialog box appears.

    Figure 7‒6: Detailed Database Settings dialog box

  5. Specify Storage folder name and Size.

    The following describes each item in the dialog box.

    • Storage folder name

      In Storage folder name, specify the name of the folder for storing the database. Clicking the ... button displays a dialog box in which you can browse folders and specify a desired folder name. The permitted value is 1 to 125 bytes of alphanumeric characters and _, \, :, ., (, ), and the space.

      By default, Asset Console-installation-folder\db is specified.

      If you use Database Manager to specify the path, do not specify a device name such as CON or NUL.

    • Size

      Specifies the maximum size of the database. By default, the estimated value obtained in the Estimate Capacity dialog box is specified. Specify 100 or a greater integer.

      If the Automatically increase size check box is selected, the initial value of the database is used as the maximum size. Specify an integer between 100 and 65,535.

    • Estimate Capacity button

      Enables you to estimate the database capacity. The estimated value is reflected in Size. For details about how to estimate the database capacity, see 7.4.2 Estimating the database capacity.

    • Automatically increase size

      Select this checkbox to set the database to automatically increase in size. By default, this check box is cleared. If this check box is selected, the database size is automatically increased to a maximum value of 65,535 megabytes.

    • Management area

      Displays the size required for the management area. This item cannot be changed.

    • Operation area

      Displays the size that is automatically allocated under the Asset Console installation folder when the database is running. This item cannot be changed.

  6. Click the Create button.

    The asset management database is created. When database creation is completed, a message indicating the completion of setup is displayed and the Database Manager dialog box closes. If database creation fails, a message to that effect is displayed, in which case, take an appropriate action according to the displayed message.

    For the temporary area of the database, use an area other than the data area. If you specify the same table area for the temporary area and the data area, search and deletion will not be available if the table area is insufficient.

    Important

    If one of the following messages is output while you are creating a database by using the database manager, check and correct the specified folder name, size, and port number, and then try again:
