Installation Requirements for FAST InStream

For information about which versions of the Windows operating system are supported by Siebel Search, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network. Make sure that the following requirements are met before you begin the installation process:

• If you are installing FAST InStream after a previous un-install operation, make sure all registry items have been removed. Restart the server after both un-install and re-install operations.
• If you plan to have very large indices (or frequent searches and indexing), use a dedicated Siebel Server.
• Make sure that you have enough disk space for the indices. Temporary space requirements for indexing can be two to four times the ultimate size of the index files.
• The Search server machine must have client connectivity to the Siebel database.
• To install Siebel Search the Windows user must have administrator privilege and Log On As Service privilege.
