There are two methods that can be used to create an instance:
Creating multiple instances
Multiple instances can be created.
The memory allocated needs to be adjusted when multiple instances are created with WebAdmin (refer to "Parameters automatically set by WebAdmin according to the amount of memory" for details).
Features that cannot be set up using WebAdmin
The feature below cannot be set up using WebAdmin. After creating the instance using WebAdmin, perform the additional setup tasks according to the manual for each feature described in the Operation Guide.
Storage data protection using transparent data encryption
Note
Instances created using the initdb command cannot be managed using WebAdmin.
Always use WebAdmin to delete instances that were created using it. Because WebAdmin management information cannot be deleted, WebAdmin will determine that the instance is abnormal.
Databases with the names 'template0' and 'template1' are automatically created when an instance is created.
These databases are used as the templates for databases created later. Furthermore, a default database with the name 'postgres' is automatically created, which will be used with Symfoware Server commands. It is important that you do not delete these databases created by default.
When an instance that uses WebAdmin is created successfully, the following Windows service is registered:
symfo_version_userName_instanceName
The account and password of the instance administrator are registered in the Windows service.
If the password for this account is changed, you must also change the password registered in the service.
Change this at the Properties window registered in the Windows service.
If creating an instance in Windows Server(R) 2003, use an account that does not belong to the Administrators group.
Refer to "4.5.2 Configuring Automatic Start and Stop of an Instance" for information on how to start and stop the operating system of the database server, and how to start and stop linked instances.
