Introduction

The schema installation has 4 main steps, regardless of platform:

...

Code Block
cd $RELEASE/phixflow-x.y.z-yyyymmdd/install

Create the database user

If you are  Database Administrator (DBA) and no database / login have previously been set up, you should use the following commands to create a new database / user.

Creating the database user is heavily dependent on the database platform, and will often have to be varied to meet local requirements regarding naming and security. These example commands will be adequate basic installations.

Platform

Create the database user

Oracle:

This command will prompt for the name of the user to be created.

Code Block
sqlplus SYS/SYSPassword@SID as SYSDBA @schema/oracle/install/create_user


Sql Server:

This command requires the user, the password, the login and the database to be provided as parameters.

Code Block
sqlcmd -S localhost\myservice -i schema/sql_server/install/create_database_and_user.sql -v dbName="phixflow" dbLogin="phixflow" dbUser="phixflow" dbPassword="mypass"


MySQLMariaDB:

Anchor
mariaDBexampleDBcreateCommand
mariaDBexampleDBcreateCommand
Connect to the database as root (or an administrator):

Code Block
mysql --user=<myrootuser> --password

Create the user, supplying the name of the database, the user and the password in the commands below:

Code Block
create database phixflow CHARACTER SET = 'utf8' COLLATE = 'utf8_bin';
grant all privileges on phixflow.* to '<myuser>'@'%' identified by '<mypass>';
exit


Populate the Database

Once you have created the database and/or database user, run the Installer to create the database tables and initial data.

The customer name in the commands below must exactly match the customer name used by PhixFlow Support to generate licence files. This argument (–customer="Your Customer Name") is optional, but if you don't specify a valid customer name you will not be able to install the licence key and you will not be able to run any tasks in PhixFlow.

The database connection strings given here should cover most cases of connecting to PhixFlow's own database. For more details, see Database URLs for how connection strings are constructed for the various database platforms supported by PhixFlow.

Code Block
cd $RELEASE/phixflow-x.y.z-yyyymmdd/install

...

Code Block
java -jar bin/installer.jar -url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:phixflow" -user=myuser -pass=mypass -install -customer="Your Customer Name"

Oracle (> 12c with PDB containers):

Code Block
java -jar bin/installer.jar -url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521/phixflow" -user=myuser -pass=mypass -install -customer="Your Customer Name"

...

Code Block
java -jar bin/installer.jar -url="jdbc:sqlserver://myhost\myserver;databaseName=phixflow" -user=myuser -pass=mypass -install -customer="Your Customer Name"

MySQLMariaDB:

Code Block
java -jar bin/installer.jar -url="jdbc:mysqlmariadb://localhost/phixflow" -user=<myuser> -pass=<mypass> -install -customer="Your Customer Name"
