Configuring the PostgreSQL database

You can set up a PostgreSQL database to work with Rational® Focal Point™.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. Create a database named focalpoint. Rational Focal Point uses the default PostgreSQL table space.
  2. Modify the required configurations file so that the focalpoint database can accept connections from the application server in which Rational Focal Point will be installed.
  3. Either allow access for the database port through any existing firewall, or disable the firewall.
    Note: In a dual server environment where Rational Focal Point and the database are on different servers, to connect to PostgeSQL database, you must specify the Rational Focal Point system details in the <PostgreSQL install directory>\data\pg_hba.conf file.
