Database settings

This section provides general guidelines for a correct database configuration for LN. The database instance must be created manually. The database can be created through the Installation Wizard.

The installation wizard does not create directories for database files. Ensure these directories already exist.

Disk space

For performance reasons we recommend to allocate the full size of the database tablespaces according the sizing recommendation during the creation of the tablespace. For example, if the sizing requires 1 GB disk space for the database for the coming two years, allocate that size during the database creation. In order to decrease the disk space, the compress database table on functionality can be considered.

Users

We recommend that you create all database users and group names in lowercase to prevent case problems.

Database client for 3-tier

When using a 3-tier environment, a database client installation is required on the application server. Use the database specific installation manuals for installation instructions.
