Database Backup Image for New Installations

If you install Release 13.1 as a new installation, import the Release 13.1 database backup image before you start the installation. CA Clarity PPM now uses a backup-based database deployment mechanism. Instead of building the database at installation time, the product provides a prebuilt, fully-populated database backup base image on the installation media. The base image contains everything that a new CA Clarity PPM installation requires.

The installation media contains the following:

• The Microsoft SQL Server base image, compatible with all supported SQL Server versions.
• The Oracle base image, compatible with all supported Oracle versions.

Note: For information about importing a database template image, see the Installation Guide.
