10.4 Creating a ZENworks Database Object

The ZENworks Database object might not exist if you had inadvertently deleted the object.

If the database object does not exist in the tree because you didn’t originally install it, you must use the GUI installation program to create it. For more information, see Starting the Installation Program in the Novell ZENworks 7 Server Management Installation Guide. Follow only the steps and select only the options that are necessary to create the database.

To re-create a database object that was inadvertently deleted:

  1. In ConsoleOne, right-click a location in the tree for the database object, click New > Object, then click ZENworks Database.

  2. Provide a database name.

  3. Select the Define Additional Properties check box, then click OK.

  4. On the ZENworks Database tab, select either the Server DN or Server IP Address option.

    One of these location IDs could already be the default. If not, provide the information for the server where zfslog.db resides.

  5. Select the eDirectory Rights tab, click Trustees of This Object, click Add Trustee, then select [Public].

    The database object must be assigned a trustee of Public, or the Policy/Package Agent displays messages that it cannot connect with the database or read the ZENworks Server Management policy.

  6. Click OK.

    If you click Cancel, none of the information you added or changed on any of the tabs is saved. However, the database object remains on the tree.

  7. Set up the ZENworks Database policy.

    For steps to specify the location of a database, see ZENworks Database.

  8. Associate the Service Location Package with a container above where the Distributor object resides.
