To use version tracking, your configuration data in Operations Center must be stored in either a Microsoft SQL database or an Oracle database that has not previously been used for Operations Center configuration. If you have an existing configuration in Operations Center and want to continue to use that configuration, you must create a new configuration and set version tracking, then copy the existing configuration into this new configuration and set the new configuration as the default.
Create a new database and configure it by following the instructions in Section 2.2, Configuring a New Implementation of Version Tracking.
