4.1 Database configuration requirements

This section describes how to set up the database for use with AEM forms. This section describes special tables, indexes, and other properties that are required in the AEM forms database that are not configured by Configuration Manager.

The database will contain these elements:

  • AEM forms services

  • AEM forms run-time configurations

  • AEM forms process data

  • Customer process definitions and templates

  • Application server managed data

Before you create the database, you must ensure that you read the pre-installation requirements and have the required software installed.

If this is the first installation of AEM forms, you must create an empty database. All the tables required to support AEM forms are created when you initialize the AEM forms database using Configuration Manager. (See the Installing and Deploying AEM forms document for your application server.)

Note: Clustered environments with relational databases are now supported for production use under a "gated" program. If you intend to use a relational database in a clustered environment, contact AEM Forms product team at forms_documents@adobe.com for approval. Also ensure that the mandatory patches are installed and configured.
