Using an External RDBMS

When you use an external RDBMS, you must create the MywebMethodsServer database components in your external RDBMS. When you choose the external RDBMS in the installer, the installer asks you to supply the database connection.

If you are clustering My webMethods Servers, create a single MywebMethodsServer database component for the cluster to share. If you are not clustering, create a MywebMethodsServer database component for each My webMethods Server.

Note:

The CentralConfiguration database component is automatically created when you create the MywebMethodsServer database component. If you are using Optimize, the CentralConfiguration database component stores the Optimize configuration information you enter in the Central Configuration interface in My webMethods. The CentralConfiguration database component is not automatically dropped when you drop the MywebMethodsServer database component. If you want to drop the CentralConfiguration database component, you must do so manually.
