BAM: Configure metadata DBMS with mySQL?

[Former Community Member]

Hello,



I'm wondering if it's possible to configure the BAM metadata DBMS if the DBMS is mySQL? In the section on "Using cqinitmetadata.jar", one of the parameters "dbType" gives the description "dbType: BDMS type, one of oracle, sqlserver, db2". Does that mean mysql is not supported? Or just not mentioned?



Thanks,

Johnny

Hi Johnny,



Were you able to configure BAM on MYSQL? If so, please let me know what is the configuration that you used for cqinitmetadata.jar. Can you please share this with me?

If you are using mySQL - did you do the turnkey install? Everything will get configured for you this way. So, in general I would assume mySQL is supported, since that is what is used for the turnkey installation.

Hi Jennifer,



Thanks for the response.

Basically, BAM downloads another DB called Derby when it does a turnkey installation. BAM uses both MySQL and Derby for creating the reports.

Also, BAM uses JBoss 3.2.6 which again gets downloaded on turnkey installation.

So in a nutshell with BAM running in your server you have both MySQL and Derby installed as well as both JBoss 3.2.5 (for Adobe Livecycle) & 3.2.6 (for BAM) installed in your server.



Thanks and regards,
