Distributed Database Selection

NOTE: During installation of Power Operation(PO), you will have the option to either install a new instance of PostgreSQL database in the same machine as PO or to set up a distributed database architecture where you can establish a connection with a PostgreSQL database running on a different machine. Follow the steps mentioned below if you have selected Distributed option on the Database Selection window.

To set up the Distributed PostgreSQL database:

1. Select Distributed option from the Database Selection page, and click Next after you complete the previous installation steps.
2. Set up the remote machine for PostgreSQL and click Next. There is a help document under Prerequisites folder that can be referenced for detailed instructions on this step.
3. Configure the PO database by entering Password and click Next.
4. Enter the IP address of the machine where the PostgreSQL database is installed.
5. Click Test Connection to check if connection has been established. A success message confirms that PO can communicate with the remote PostgreSQL database.
6. Click Next to go through remaining steps of the PO installation.

The detailed steps are provided in the following topics.
