Create a BlackBerry UEM database using CreateDB

  • Verify that you configured the correct permissions on the database server.
  • You must run CreateDB from a computer that has the full UEM installation files extracted on it. The computer must be able to connect to the computer that hosts the database server that you want to create or upgrade the UEM database on.
  • Ensure you are using the latest supported version of Java. See UEM compatibility: Java Runtime Environment.
  1. If you use a Windows account to create the UEM database, log in to the computer using a Windows account that has database creator permissions.
  2. Copy the UEM installation files to the computer and extract the contents to a folder.
    Do not copy used installation files from another computer. You must re-extract the installation files on each computer.
