If the database is IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle, you need to prepare the database to set up repositories for the design-time and the run-time environment and create RulePoint user accounts.
When you run the RulePoint installer, the installer creates the following repositories to store the database schemas:
Design-time repository. Stores the Design, Topology, and RTAM schemas.
Run-time repository. Stores the Topology State and Activity schemas.
During installation, you can choose to create the repositories in the same database or in separate databases. If you plan to create the design-time and run-time repositories in separate databases, ensure that the database types are same. For example, if you plan to use an Oracle database to create the design-time repository, you need to have another Oracle database to create the run-time repository.
