Establishing an External Database

A multi-repository domain requires a separate server running an Oracle database.

An Oracle database running on a separate server is required for a multiple-repository Liquent InSight Rendering domain. Use this procedure to set up an external database for your Liquent InSight Rendering domain.

    2. Enter VISTA1 for the user, and then enter the password defined when the database was established.
    3. After confirming the database is installed and started on the database server, and that the database tables have been created, click Test Database.
