Installation Guide › Performing a Typical Installation › Before You Begin

Before You Begin

• When you create a database manually, read the section Create Database Manually, before you begin the installation. Refer to the parameter description for OBLICORE_ROOT in that topic.

  Important! If the database is not installed on a Windows system, create the database manually.

• For multitier systems, perform the installation according to the installation sequence. For more information, see Number of Servers (Topology).
• If you are not planning on using the CA default configuration, print the The CA Technologies Naming Conventions Policy for Database Objects. Complete the form and consult the CA Support before the installation if your database naming convention differs from the CA Technologies policy.
• Print the chapters relevant to your installation (Client Installation - Typical, Upgrade from Previous Versions, Custom Installation, High Availability, Silent Installation).
• Exit all Windows programs before running the setup program.
• Verify that the installation directory name does not contain the '&' (ampersand) character or the '.' (dot) character.

  Note: The default installation folder location is C:\Program Files\CA \Cloud Insight\Setup (or: %ProgramFiles%\CA \Cloud Insight\Setup). Copy all contents of the installation folder (including all subfolders) from the installation CD to the Installation folder. The installation scripts cannot create necessary dynamic scripts and log files when run from a CD.

Important! In 1-tier installations, Windows, Oracle Server, and Oracle client must be 32-bit. Do not use any 64-bit version of the applications. Oracle Server must be version 11.2.0.3.
