Creating the database

Remedy with Smart IT (Smart IT) installer will create the database automatically. However, if you have database access restrictions and cannot allow the Smart IT installer to create a database, you can create a pre-existing database.

When you create a database, you create database users and assign required roles to them. 

Before you begin

Required database schemas

Smart IT requires the following database schemas:

Schema

Purpose

Contains

schemaName_business

  • Certificates
  • Configuration
  • Customizations
  • Images

schemaName_system

Stores system data

  • Provider Info
  • Tenant
  • Plugin

Best practice
You can replace schemaName with SmartIT 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. You can specify these schemas during installation.

Databases you can create

Depending on the database you are using, follow the instructions in the corresponding topic:
