Database Access Configuration
This chapter contains the following information about how to administer the IVR application on
your Avaya Business Communications Manager (Avaya BCM) system:
• Overview
• Configuring periq on the Windows Node
• Configuring sqlclnt on the Windows Node
Overview
Some applications require access to external databases. BCM-IVR 2.1 supports Host database
access and VTCPD. The system is configured so that database requests from applications running
on Avaya BCMs are relayed to an intermediate Windows node where periq and sqlclnt are
running. The Windows node retrieves the information and relays it back to the application running
on the Avaya BCM.
The following graphic shows the interaction between the application on the Avaya BCM, the
intermediate Windows node, and the external database.
To configure the BCM-IVR 2.1 system for database access, periq and sqlclnt must run on the
Windows node. Both
periq and sqlclnt are installed as components of perirdb in a
TYPICAL installation on the Windows workstation. The Windows workstation can serve as the
intermediate Windows node.
