Preparing Your Environment

This chapter describes how to prepare your environment for hosting LiveCycle products. You must
perform the tasks provided in this chapter before you configure LiveCycle products:
"Creating the database" on page 42

"Preparing the application server" on page

You do not need to perform these tasks if you are performing a turnkey install.

Creating the database

This section describes how to set up the database that stores LiveCycle configuration information and
run-time data. The procedures described in this section apply to all LiveCycle products that use User
Management. If you previously configured the database for deploying other LiveCycle products, you do
not need to perform the tasks again.
Note: User Management is an optional feature for LiveCycle Forms.
If this is the first installation of a LiveCycle product, you must 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
Before creating the database, you must ensure that you have read the preinstallation requirements and
have the required software installed. (See
For information on creating the BAM metadata database for LiveCycle Workflow Server, see
BAM metadata database" on page

Creating a MySQL database

Use the MySQL tools to create a MySQL 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.
Tip: If you want to set up a database schema and new users on MySQL using a graphical user interface
(GUI), you must install the MySQL Administrator tool. For more information, see the MySQL user
documentation
You need the database name and the user name and password of the MySQL user account when you
configure the database connection on JBoss.
