About Creating Database Components

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 commands or a composite template, which in turn uses the Database Component Configurator.

Database Component Configurator is automatically installed with Command Central. If you are creating database components for this release and Command Central has access to your database server, Command Central will use that Database Component Configurator.

If you are creating database components for this release but Command Central does not have access to your database server, install the Database Component Configurator for this release on a machine that does have access and then install the latest fixes on the Database Component Configurator. The command or template will indicate the location of the Database Component Configurator.

If you are creating database components for an earlier release, install the Database Component Configurator for that earlier release on a machine that has access to your database server and then install the latest fixes on the Database Component Configurator. The command or template will indicate the location of the Database Component Configurator.
