Empty vendor database creation

Before you import a replica-creation packet, you must create an empty vendor database to contain the replica data.
Note: To prevent data corruption, the code page (or character set) of your vendor databases should match the data code page value of your database set.
Attention: Do not create a Rational® ClearQuest® database before receiving a database replica. Importing a replica packet into an empty vendor database creates a Rational ClearQuest database. If you have created a Rational ClearQuest database with the Maintenance Tool or Rational ClearQuest Designer, the replica import fails.
