2 Before Beginning the Installation
Complete the tasks in this chapter before beginning the actual installation.
This chapter contains the following topics:
2.1 Verifying Software and Hardware Requirements
Certain minimum hardware and software requirements must be met to run Release 9.0 on various operating systems and servers. Verify that the Deployment Server, Enterprise Servers, and workstations meet the hardware and software requirements.
Because the software and hardware requirements change rapidly as manufacturers constantly update their products, requirements are not provided in this documentation. Refer to Section 1.3, "Accessing Minimum Technical Requirements" in this guide.
Note:
The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for IBM i uses Visual Studio/2008 RunTime. Install VS2008SP1 Run Time before running the Installer. Refer to the section of this guide entitled: Section 4.11, "Installing Microsoft Windows Visual Studio".Additionally, a new compiler requirement is added for Release 9.0. Before installing the Deployment Server, a Microsoft Visual Studio C++ compiler must be installed. The MTRs list supported C++ compilers on Microsoft Windows-based machines. Refer to Section 1.3, "Accessing Minimum Technical Requirements" in this guide.
2.2 Verifying the Disk Space Requirements
The amount of disk space required for Release 9.0 software on the Deployment Server and IBM i server depends on many variables. Up-to-date disk space requirements are listed in the Release 9.0 Minimum Technical Requirements. Refer to Section 1.3, "Accessing Minimum Technical Requirements".
Note:
While the disk space tables accurately represent the disk space requirements, the actual requirements for an installation may be greater due to the requirement for temporary space.2.3 Security Considerations
The IBM i users created for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne IBM i Express Installation have been set up with the default passwords (for example, JDE user has JDE for the password). It is recommended that change the passwords for the system users are changed and the corresponding changes are performed in EnterpriseOne security setup.
A minimal JD Edwards EnterpriseOne security definition has been shipped with the IBM i server. Follow the instructions in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.0 Installation Guide for iSeries to change the passwords within EnterpriseOne for JDE, DV900, PD900, PS900 and PY900 so they match the passwords for the system users.
2.4 Overall Process Flow
This diagram illustrates the overall process flow for the entire JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installation process using Express Installation for IBM i.
