Verify the Database Requirements

Verify the Database Requirements

Verify that your database meets the requirements for running
B2B Data Exchange
.
The following table describes the database requirements for
B2B Data Exchange
:
Database Component
Description
Database System
Type of database on which to install the repositories. You can use one of the following database systems:
  • Oracle
  • Microsoft SQL Server
If you install the Dashboard and Reports component, you do not need to install the operational data store on the same machine on which you install
B2B Data Exchange
.
If you install the Dashboard and Reports component, your
B2B Data Exchange
 and operational data store repositories are installed on Microsoft SQL Servers, and you use PowerCenter version 10, you must configure the repository connections in PowerCenter Workflow Manager. For details, see Configuring Repository Connections on PowerCenter Version 10.
Database Instances
Two database instances.
B2B Data Exchange
 uses one database for the
B2B Data Exchange
 repository and one database for the publication repository. Both database instances must be on the same type of database system. That is, both must be either Oracle databases or Microsoft SQL Server databases.
If you use Oracle databases, it is recommended that each database has a unique user account and a unique schema.
If you install the Dashboard and Reports component, an additional database instance is required for the operational data store. The operational data store must be on the same type of database system as the
B2B Data Exchange
 repositories.
If you install the Dashboard and Reports component, your
B2B Data Exchange
 and operational data store repositories are installed on Microsoft SQL Servers, and you use PowerCenter version 10, you must configure the repository connections in PowerCenter Workflow Manager. For details, see Configuring Repository Connections on PowerCenter Version 10.
Disk space
The
B2B Data Exchange
 repository database requires at least
512 MB of disk space for the core application.
You also need additional space
on the publication repository database
based on the number of
messages that you need to process and the type of processing required
publications and publication instances that you need to retain
.
Unicode data requires twice as much storage than single-byte character sets.
The frequency of message archiving also affects the disk space requirement.
Database connections
One or more
Multiple
 database connections
for each repository
must always be available.
The number of required connections
for each repository
depends on the number of
endpoints and the number of documents processed
publications and subscriptions that run
 concurrently. Use the following formula to calculate the number of required database connections
for each repository
:
(
NumberOf
Endpoints + Maximum number of concurrent processes + 3)
ConcurrentPublicationsOrSubscriptions
 X 3 + 2
If you do not have enough database connections available,
B2B Data Exchange
 might fail or encounter database deadlocks.

Database Unicode Support

If you require Unicode support, create the
B2B Data Exchange
 repository database
and the
B2B Data Exchange
 publication database
with the following settings:
  • Oracle databases: use the AL32UTF8 Unicode character set.
  • Microsoft SQL Server: it is recommended that you use data types that support Unicode data: nchar, nvarachar, and ntext.

Microsoft SQL Server Collation

If you use Microsoft SQL Server, the collation for the
B2B Data Exchange
 repository
and for the
B2B Data Exchange
 publication repository
must not be case sensitive.
