Required database schemas

BMC Digital Workplace requires the following database schemas:

Schema

Purpose

Contains

schemaName_business

Stores business data

  • Location
  • Certificates
  • Configuration
  • Customizations
  • Images

schemaName_system

Stores system data

  • Provider Info (from BMC Digital Workplace)
  • Tenant
  • Plugin

The database tables above start out small and grow, but the size is much smaller when compared to the ITSM DB.

Best practice
You can replace schemaName with DWP or any other identifier that you prefer. We recommend that you keep "_business" and "_system" as part of these schema names so that you can easily identify the data in the tables. During installation, you can specify these schemas.

Databases you can precreate
