Creating a database directory

Create a directory for the product database. The product creates the database and manages the internal operations where necessary, but you must create the directory for it.

To create the database directory

Use the following example (where the /u directory already exists) to create the directory.

1. From ISPF option 6 (TSO Command), run the OMVS command.
2. Enter cd /u to move to the u directory.
3. Enter mkdir directoryName to create a directory.
4. Enter cd directoryName to move to the directory you created.
5. Enter mkdir databaseName to create a directory for the database.
6. Enter ls (el ess) to list the names of the files and confirm that the databaseName directory has been successfully created.
   The database directory is created at /u/directoryName/databaseName.

To add the database directory to the product configuration member

Add the directory path to the specified parameter in the configuration member for your product. The path name is case-sensitive.

BMC AMI Enterprise Connector for Illumio	Gateway: ECIGPARM Agent: ECIAPARM	Repository
BMC AMI Security Policy Manager	SPMSPARM	SQLPath
