Setting up the database server

Windows Install the database server to host the databases for the data warehouse.
About this task
The database server will host the databases for the data warehouse and sample data warehouse. If you want to, you can also install the content store database on the same system.
  1. Install the database server.
    • For DB2® 9.1 and DB2 9.5, make sure that the default instance name is DB2.
    • For Microsoft® SQL Server, make sure that:
      • The authentication type is mixed authentication.
      • The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service is set to log on as the Local System account. You can make this change through the control panel (click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services).
  2. Install the database client if the database server installation did not include the client services.

    For up-to-date information about installing and configuring the database, see the database product documentation.
