Installing the server database

You must install a supported database before you install HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy). The database parameters such as database name, database username, and connection information are required at the time of Deploy installation.

You can have a database server installed on a dedicated machine or on the same instance where you plan to install Deploy. See Databases for a list of supported databases and their versions.
Note: Apache Derby is no longer shipped with Deploy. You must not use Derby for evaluation and on production environment.

Before you begin

Before you begin installing or upgrading the Deploy, ensure that you have the following permissions:
  • Data manipulation permissions. For example, insert, delete, update, and select.
  • Schema modification permissions. For example, alter a table, create a table, truncate, drop, and create or modify index.
Note: The user permissions required to install or upgrade Deploy can be limited based on your requirements.
