, you must set up some databases for the repositories and application services associated with
Data Quality
. The databases store data, metadata, and run-time results of the repositories and application services.
When you set up a database, you must ensure that the required disk space is available on the database and create the database with parameters required by
Data Quality
. You must also create user accounts for the databases and install the database clients.
For more information about the disk space, parameters, user accounts, and clients for the databases, see the
Installation for PowerCenter and Data Quality
guide for the

Exception management database
The exception management database stores exception records for
