Tracking Database

Tracking requires a database to function. The database is not automatically created. It must be created manually using the create_tables.sql script included in the trackinglistener/conf directory. The script contains the SQL queries required to create the database in one of the DBMS supported by tracking (Oracle, MS SQLServer and MySQL).

You must create a user account that will be used by Tracking to connect to the database. This account must have read and write permissions in the database.

Once the database is created, you must configure the connection to the database in JMap Admin using the account destined to this purpose. The name of the database in JMap Admin is not important.

Afterwards, you must indicate to Tracking which database the extension must use (i.e. the database created at the previous step). This parameter can be modified in the General section of Tracking's configuration interface.
