Creating the project results database by using Microsoft SQL Server

You can create project results databases by using Microsoft SQL Server.

Before you begin

For information about the supported versions of the database, see the Supported Software > Database section in the System Requirements page.

About this task

The current version of the ghtester_mssql.sql script provides Unicode support. To update SQL project results databases that were created before IBM® Rational® Integration Tester version 8.5.0 to change varchars to nvarchars so that Unicode is supported, run the patch-1_9_24_d-1_9_24_e_mssql.sql script.

Procedure

  1. Create the database using the collation option of SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_CI_AS to enable use of the UTF-8 character set. For more information, refer to the Microsoft SQL Server documentation.
  2. Run the ghtester_mssql.sql script against the new database.
    Note: If necessary, the SQL Server 2005 driver (sqljdbc.jar) can be downloaded from the Microsoft Developer Network website.
    Note: If you plan to use SQL Server as a project results database in IBM Rational Test Control Panel, copy the jtds-1.2.5.jar file to the lib folder of the Rational Test Control Panel installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalTestControlPanel\lib), and then restart the service.
