WhereScape RED and WhereScape Azkaban support PostgreSQL-compatible databases from PostgreSQL version 12 to version 16.

Database

RED creates its metadata on schemas named ‘red’ and 'redadmin'. WhereScape Azkaban creates its metadata on a schema named ‘white’.

Warning
Database names for RED and WhereScape Azkaban metadata must be created in lowercase and not contain any special characters which would require surrounding in quotes (“”) in SQL queries.

Users and permissions

RED Users

Normal users and deployment users of RED require the following grants on the metadata database schema 'red':

  • SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, EXECUTE on the ‘red’ schema objects of the RED metadata database.

RED Scheduler User

The Scheduler User for RED requires the following grants on the metadata database: 

Schema: 'red':

  • SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, EXECUTE on the ‘red’ schema objects of the RED metadata database.

Schema: 'redadmin'

  • SELECT on the ‘redadmin’ schema objects of the RED metadata database.

RED Scheduler Profile Admin

The Scheduler Profile Admin for RED requires the following grants on the metadata database: 

Schema: 'red':

  • SELECT on the ‘red’ schema objects of the RED metadata database.

Schema: 'redadmin':

  • SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE on the ‘redadmin’ schema objects of the RED metadata database.

RED Installation User

For metadata installation and upgrade the user requires:

  • CREATE on the database to create the ‘red’ schema and 'redadmin' schemas and the RED metadata objects

Note

Occasionally RED and Azkaban metadata may change between versions and in some cases require the dropping of existing objects during an object upgrade, therefore the user (or role) used for an upgrade should be the owner of the objects, or a superuser will need to be used.

...

  • SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, EXECUTE on the ‘white’ schema objects of the Azkaban metadata database.

-- External Step
--******* External Step: Install Azkaban Metadata using the redadmin_user *********
--******* -- This can be done via RedSchedulerInstaller.exe or azkaban-installer.jar
--******* -- Best way is to use azkaban-installer.jar upgrade-schema option which can installl the metadata separately to the Web Server
--******* -- If RedSchedulerInstaller.exe is used then the Web Server (and Executor) azkaban.local.properties should be updated after install to use the scheduler_user rather than redadmin_user
