This guidebook is intended to help you, as a database administrator, establish the ArcGIS Workflow Manager (Classic) Desktopworkspace in an enterprise geodatabase for PostgreSQL. The enterprise geodatabase uses ArcGIS technology as the gateway between geographic information system (GIS) clients and PostgreSQL. The Workflow Manager (Classic) workspace uses a geodatabase, while this guidebook covers the best practices to create that geodatabase.
For the Workflow Manager (Classic) applications to function, all the Workflow Manager (Classic) system tables must exist in the database, and of those, the tables that host required configuration information must be populated with values that will drive the application behavior. The sections in this guidebook detail how to create and start configuring the Workflow Manager (Classic) system tables.
Before you can install the Workflow Manager (Classic) system tables in a geodatabase, you must properly set up the enterprise geodatabase to receive the repository. Follow the directions below to accomplish this task.
PostgreSQL installation
Before starting this guide book, install PostgreSQL on a Windows or Linux operation system. The default settings for the PostgreSQL database management system work well with the geodatabase. Configure the instance to accept remote connections.
When you install PostgreSQL, be sure to install PostGIS. For more information, see PostgreSQL data types supported by ArcGIS.
