Creating a ZENworks Database Object

The ZENworks Database object might not exist for the following reasons:

• You have inadvertently deleted the object
• You did not select to install the database when you installed Policy and Distribution Services

If the database object does not exist in the tree, you can manually create it.

To create a database object:

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

2. Enter a database name.

3. Click the Define Additional Properties check box > click OK.

4. On the ZENworks Database tab, click either the Server DN or Server IP Address radio button.

   One of these location IDs could already be the default. If not, enter the information, which should be for the server where ZFSLOG.DB resides.

5. Click the eDirectory Rights tab > Trustees of This Object > Add Trustee > select [Public].

   The database object must be assigned a trustee of Public or the Policy/Package Agent will display messages that it cannot connect with the database nor read the ZENworks for Servers policy.

6. Click OK.

   If you click Cancel, none of the information you added or changed on any of the tabs will be saved. However, the database object will remain 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.
