Database Type Description

Oracle Database

When installing Simphony with an Oracle database, you can install Simphony database components on separate database servers from a remote machine while installing Simphony on the application servers.

For properties using separate servers for the Simphony application and databases, install an Oracle 12c Client on all application servers so that it can connect to the remote database server.

Microsoft SQL Server

When installing Simphony with Microsoft SQL Server, you cannot install the databases from a remote machine; you must run the Simphony database setup on the local database servers and install the database components.
