Roamer Installation Guide | Database Requirements |
Chapter 3 Database Requirements
Roamer uses the following two databases, only the first of which is created through the APM:
•The Roamer Database
This database contains default assignment information. Each user ID is associated to telephone numbers and privileges, a tenant, and a reset option. This database is created through the APM and is configured as /oai/db/cur/ roamerdb.
•The Backup Database
This database reflects the current status of Roamer activity and is created and maintained by Roamer. It is configured in the APM as /oai/app/data/roamerbu.
The Roamer database is created through the Database Administration option on the APM System Administration Menu and involves the following

1.Create a Master Definition File: This step involves creating the master defini- tion file that defines the fields in the master database file.
2.Build a Master Database File: This step involves entering data that was de- fined in the master definition file, in Step 1, into the master database fields.
3.Create an Application Definition File: In this step, a definition file is created for the Roamer database. This file defines the formats by which data from the corresponding master file is to be converted to meet the needs of Roamer.
4.Process the Application Database: In this step, the Process and Install Appli- cation Databases options on the APM Database Administration menu create the file that will be used by Roamer. When the Process option is activated, data is drawn from the master database and converted to the formats specified in the corresponding application definition file. The Install option is then activated to enable Roamer to copy its database into a working file.
