Electronic Signature requires various database objects (tables and views). To create these database objects, you can choose from two different options:

Generate and launch scripts - Create the database objects at the same time as installing Electronic Signature. Choose this option if the database user and the storage were prepared before launching the installer. The objects are automatically installed as long as the database schema was correctly defined.

Generate scripts only - Prepare the required SQL scripts without executing them. Choose this option if the database settings were not ready when the installer was launched.
The installer will prepare the scripts to be used by the XDBM (Axway Database Management) tool at a later stage.
After installation, when the database is ready, create the objects inside the database using the XDBM tool. For more information, refer to the Axway 5 Suite Installation and Prerequisites Guide.
