For a database to be usable by DCM, a DCM initialization must be performed on the database. Perform the initialization using the Initialize DCM dialog box or the ccm dcm -init command.
If a database is used only as a destination, the setup is complete once the database is initialized and DCM settings have been modified. However, if a database is used as a source (or a source and destination), you must define the DCM database definitions, define the transfer sets, and add objects to the transfer sets.
- Defining DCM database definitions
- Transfer sets can be sent only to databases that have been defined as potential destinations. These databases can be defined any time before starting a transfer.
- Defining the transfer sets
- A transfer set defines which objects are to be sent from a source database. A separate transfer set can be defined for each logical group of objects that need to be transferred.
- Adding objects to the transfer sets
- Once transfer sets are defined, objects are added to them.
