A command line version of LiveCycle Configuration Manager (LCM) is available for those rare occasions when it is not possible to use the GUI version. However, the LiveCycle database schema (tables, indexes, views, sequences etc) can be created using just a browser if the EAR files have already been deployed to your application server and if the application server instance is running.
The URL for User Manager (UM) looks like as follows The host is aix.adobe.com and the web container of the appserver instance hosting LiveCycle listens on port 9080:
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=UM&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
In addition to User Manager, you also need to bootstrap CORE, POF, DSC, TS and WF. So the complete URL set is as follows:
User Manager (UM)
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=UM&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
Core
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=CORE&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
Persistent Object Framework (POF)
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=POF&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
Document Service Container (DSC)
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=DSC&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
Trust Store (TS)
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=TS&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
Workflow (WF)
http://aix.adobe.com:9080/adobe-bootstrapper/bootstrap?responseType=client
&bootstrapper=WF&step=bootstrap
&host=aix.adobe.com&port=9080&responseLocale=en
After copy-pasting each of the above URLs into the browser one after another (the sequence matters) and pressing enter, you should get a one word response saying 'SUCCESS' if the schema creation succeeded. User Manager has the largest number of tables and indexes. Therefore, UM database initialization will take the longest. Also, verify by directly querying the database. If your database is MySQL, you can use these instructions.
The appserver log will also have entries such as follows:
com.adobe.livecycle.bootstrap.bootstrappers.UMBootstrapper bootstrap Bootstrap completed.
com.adobe.livecycle.bootstrap.bootstrappers.CoreBootstrapper bootstrap Bootstrap completed.
com.adobe.livecycle.bootstrap.bootstrappers.PofBootstrapper bootstrap Bootstrap completed.
com.adobe.livecycle.bootstrap.bootstrappers.DSCBootstrapper bootstrap Bootstrap completed.
com.adobe.livecycle.bootstrap.bootstrappers.TrustStoreBootstrapper bootstrap Bootstrap completed.
com.adobe.livecycle.bootstrap.bootstrappers.WFBootstrapper bootstrap Bootstrap completed.
Please also note that some components of LiveCycle ES such as BAM, Content Services, and the Quartz Scheduler create their own database tables and indexes at runtime. So expect to see additional tables in your database on your next server re-start.
Deployment of DSCs is the next major step after database intialization. Unfortunately, there is no browser-based URL to achieve it.
