Creating CenterView schema is straight forward and as easy as running installer.jar. Certain preconditions however must be met. The following describes the complete set of steps that are required:
- Create (or gave your DBA to do it for you) a database and database user. Follow this link in order to find out how, if you want to do it personally (without invloving DBA).
- Open command line and change your current directory into a directory wher your installer.jar is located.
- Execute command java -jar installer.jar -url=database_specific_url -user=username -pass=password -install -client=clientName,
database_specific_url will look as follows, depending on your platform and assuming your database server listens on default ports (otherwise adjust port numbers):
a) Oracle: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:yourDatabasName
b) Sql Server: jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;database=yourDatabaseName;instance=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME;
c) MySQL/MariaDB: jdbc:mariadb://localhost/yourDatabaseName
The remaining installer options passed at the command line:

| pass | Password validating access to your database. |
