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 parametersBefore creating the database, ensure that default collation is Latin1_General_CI_AS:

Code Block
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('collation');

If it is not, please talk to the database administrator to get this updated to the required collation (see also Install MS SQL Server).

This command creates a local (SQL Server) login, a user with required user mappings, sets the password for the login and creates the database.

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"


MariaDB:

MariaDB database creation
Connect to the database as root (or an administrator):

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

If you followed the suggested PhixFlow installation notes for installing MariaDB, you will be using unix_socket authentication (see Install MariaDB), and the command to log into the database as root is simply:

Code Block
sudo mysql

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


...

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

  1. In your command console, change to the directory where you extracted the release zip  then to the install directory. 
  2. Run the installation command for your database (listed below).

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.

...

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

SQL Server:

Note

If a database, with login details, was provided (i.e. you did not perform the step above for creating the login, user and database), please check that the database has the correct collation:

Code Block
SELECT

...

DATABASEPROPERTYEX('DBNAME', 'Collation');

E.g.

Code Block
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('phixflow', 'Collation');


Then run the command:

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