Preparing your Environment

This chapter applies to all LiveCycle security products.
This chapter describes how to prepare your environment for hosting LiveCycle products. You must
perform the tasks provided in this chapter before you configure the application server:
"Creating the LiveCycle database" on page 36
●
"Preparing JBoss" on page 41
●
"Installing database drivers" on page 43
●
You do not need to perform these tasks if you are performing a turnkey install.
This chapter assumes that you have installed your LiveCycle products. If you have not installed the
products, see

Creating the LiveCycle database

This section applies to LiveCycle Policy Server only.
This section describes how to set up the database that stores LiveCycle configuration information and
run-time data. If you previously configured the database for deploying other LiveCycle products, you do
not need to perform these tasks again.
If this is the first installation of a LiveCycle product, you need to create an empty database. All of the tables
required to support LiveCycle products will be created by Configuration Manager when you initialize the
database. (See
If you are using the turnkey method to install the product, JBoss and MySQL are installed and configured
automatically; you do not need to perform the tasks in this section.
If you stop and start the LiveCycle database while LiveCycle Policy Server is running, you also need to stop
and start the LiveCycle Policy Server application. Depending on the application server
LiveCycle Policy Server is running on, you may need to stop and start the application server as well. This
establishes a new connection between LiveCycle Policy Server and the LiveCycle database.

Creating a MySQL database

Use the MySQL tools to create a database for use with LiveCycle products and a MySQL user account that
the application server can use to connect to the database. You also need to modify the MySQL database
server configuration. For information about creating the database and user account, see the MySQL
documentation.
You need the database name and the user name and password of the MySQL user account when you
configure the database connection.
