The Marketing Platform installer lets you choose whether or not to allow the installer to create the system tables in the database.

If you choose to allow the installer to create the system tables, you must provide information that enables the installer to connect to the Marketing Platform database you created in an earlier step. For the Marketing Platform, this is the same information that you provide in the IBM® EMM master installer for product registration, as described in Step: Obtain required information.

If you choose to create the system tables manually, you must use your database client to run the SQL scripts provided with your Marketing Platform installation. Details for manual table creation are provided in Step: Create and populate the Marketing Platform system tables manually, if necessary.
