Create the MDM Hub Master Database

After you install Microsoft SQL Server, create an

MDM Hub Master Database

. If you want to create multiple MDM Hub Master Databases, ensure that you create each MDM Hub Master Database in a different database

The default name of the MDM Hub Master Database is

CMX_SYSTEM

, but you can use a custom name.

If you change the folder names in the distribution directory, metadata import fails.

Open a command prompt, and navigate to the following directory:

MDM Hub distribution directory

>/database/bin

To create the MDM Hub Master Database, run the following command:

sip_ant.bat create_system

Answer the prompts described in the following table:

The prompt displays default text in brackets. Press

Enter

to use the default value and go to the next prompt.
