Tip
titleBackup Considerations

Customers should follow their standard practices for Database and File System(Artifact Repository) backup. During upgrade procedure, we have defined steps to take complete backup of database and file system as well.


Tip

You must be in /database/mysql/install folder from extracted zip when executing scripts.

FlexDeploy uses three databases (FD, FF, and FD_ADMIN) and performs all work using the FD_ADMIN user. Run database scripts from where you extracted downloaded FlexDeploy zip file.

...

Installation Instructions

Navigate to the /database/mysql/install directory.

Step 1. You should set the FD_ADMIN password before running the scripts.

  • Open the file <Unzip Folder>/database/mysql/install/scripts/CreateFD.sql

  • Edit the line:

...

  • CREATE USER 'FD_ADMIN'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'welcome1' so that it has a new password in it.

Tip

You should record the FD_ADMIN password, as that will be used in configuration of data source on application server.

Step 2. Install MySQL database, if you have done that already. Follow guidelines for your platform as documented in MySQL documentation.
