Step 10: Configure TIBCO MFT Internet Server Database

Each time you install a new version, upgrade an existing version or install a hotfix, you must update the database with any new tables or columns. If you attempt to run an TIBCO MFT Internet Server instance before the database has been updated, the TIBCO MFT Internet Server instance displays an error and terminates.

When the Docker image is created, it points to a test database. However when the image executes, it must point to a different database. There are three instances where you must update the TIBCO MFT Internet Server database:
  1. When you install MFT for the first time on a database. The necessary tables and records are created in the database
  2. When you upgrade the database to a new version or release. New tables and columns may be created.
  3. When you install an MFT hotfix on a previously installed version. New columns may be created.

To configure the TIBCO MFT Internet Server database, see the following sections:
