Creating the ActiveMatrix Administrator Database Using SQL Server

Create a SQL Server database, configure it, and create a database user to access it.

    Procedure
  1. Create an empty database which will be used to hold the ActiveMatrix Administrator database tables - for example, amx.
    Note: The ActiveMatrix BPM database (for each BPM system) and ActiveMatrix Administrator database can, if desired, use the same SQL Server database instance.
  2. Enable snapshot isolation by setting the ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON database option.

    For example, use the following statements:

    ALTER DATABASE DatabaseName

    SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON

  3. Create a database user (or identify an existing one) for the system to use to connect to the ActiveMatrix Administrator database - for example, amx_db_user. This user:
    • must be a member of the db_owner role for this database
    • must have this database assigned as their default database.

    You will specify this user in the Username field of the Administrator Server Configuration: Database Details screen when you run the Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Server Wizard or Create TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Service Grid Administrator Server Wizard.

  4. Ensure that the database is set to use case insensitive (CI) collation.
  5. Make sure that the database is available.
