Many Software AG products require an external RDBMS. For those products, you create database components. A database component is a grouping of database objects used by one or more products.

You create database components using Command Central and the Database Component Configurator. Install the Database Component Configurator on a machine that has access to your database server and then install the latest fixes on Database Component Configurator.

For information on supported RDBMSs, see System Requirements for Software AG Products.

For information about database connections, database drivers, database components that are required by each product, and tasks to perform before creating database components, see Installing Software AG Products.
