Database Backup Image for New Installations

CA Clarity PPM uses a backup-based database deployment mechanism. The product provides two prebuilt, fully populated database backup base images on the installation media. The base images contain everything that a new CA Clarity PPM installation requires.

Backup images are available for the following databases:

• The CA Clarity PPM database.
• The Data Warehouse. If you plan to use Advanced Reporting with Jaspersoft, the Data Warehouse database is required.

The installation media contains the following images:

• The Microsoft SQL Server base image, compatible with all supported SQL Server versions. Remember to set the database compatibility level to 110 if you are using SQL Server 2012.
• The Oracle base image, compatible with all supported Oracle versions.

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