Creating a Database

The following procedure explains how to create a database for the repository on your repository server.

  1. Navigate to the SQL Anywhere 12 program group and open Sybase Central.
  2. In the Sybase Central window, select Tools > SQL Anywhere 12 > Create Database to open the Create Database Wizard.
  3. Click Next to go to the Select a Location page. The Create a database on this computer option is automatically selected. Click Next to go to the Specify a Database File page.
  4. Click Next to go to the Specify the Transaction Log File page.
  5. Make sure the Maintain the Following Transaction Log File check box is selected, accept or specify an alternate log file name and location, and then click Next.
  6. Continue clicking Next and accepting the default settings until you arrive at the Specify DBA User and Password page.
  7. By default, the database is created with a super-user called DBA, and with a password "sql". Select these defaults or provide your own parameters (being sure to remember them for later), and then click Next to go to the Connect to the Database page.
  8. Click Finish to create the database. A message box displays the progress and informs you when the creation is complete.
