This chapter is a high-level overview of the process required for a successful installation of the Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management applications. For complete step-by-step installation process, see the Installation Guide for each application.
Pre-installation requirements are tasks that must be researched and completed prior to starting the actual installation process.
Hardware requirements vary between applications. See Installation Guide for each of your applications for specific hardware requirements. The amount, capabilities, and types of hardware required for each implementation will vary based on the retailer's needs and objectives.
Software requirements vary among applications. See Installation Guide for each of your applications for specific software requirements.
Establishing a database partitioning strategy is a mandatory step that must be completed prior to installing any of the Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management applications. A spreadsheet is included with the installation materials that define requirements for both mandatory and optional partitioning. This enables the resource in charge of implementing the partitioning strategy to determine the correct strategy.
See the Installation Guides for the individual Merchandising products for the required order of installation.
Some of the Oracle Retail Merchandising Operations Management applications provide installers to facilitate the installation process, while others require a manual installation. The following are the processes used to install each application.
| Application | Installation Process |
|---|---|
| Allocation | Installer |
| ReIM | Installer |
| RMS | Installer |
| RPM | Installer |
| ReSA | Installer |
