Installation and Configuration

Prepare for the Installation

Review the hardware and software requirements and the list of supported databases in the Release Notes before you install the program. You must verify that your system requirements meet at least the minimum specified requirements, and that you have verified and prepared your DBMS environment for installation.

Before you can install CA ERwin MM in your DBMS environment you must do the following:

1. Create the database on your DBMS server.
2. Install the administrative files.
3. Install or upgrade your license agreement permitting access the mart.
4. Create the mart or upgrade your current version of software when a newer version is available.

Note: To create, update, or delete a mart you must have the following database rights:

• For Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005/2008, you must be the database owner (dbo).
• For Oracle, you must be the database schema owner and have the DBA role.

If you installed an earlier version of CA ERwin MM (before release 7) it is not necessary to remove that version. Because this version is installed to a new folder, you can continue to work with the earlier version, if you have sufficient disk space on your PC for both versions.
