Use of an RDBMS with the Infor System Console

The Infor System Console requires a database for storing information used by some of its features. This database can be an RDBMS or the Derby database. For information on installing the Derby database, see Installing the Derby Database.

For use of an RDBMS, you must follow the guidelines and requirements listed below. Be sure to note down the details for your database as you need to specify these values when running the installation program.

  • The supported RDBMS are the same as those for Infor Lawson System Foundation, with the exception of IBM DB2 for z/OS.
  • The Infor System Console must be a different database instance of the database you use for Infor Lawson System Foundation.
  • A database administrator should perform all database creation and setup procedures for the Infor System Console.
