This chapter presents planning information for your SilverWhere installation.
Before installation of SilverWhere, perform the following tasks:
Apply critical security patches to the operating system
Apply critical security patches to the database server application
Create the required Oracle Database objects per the instructions in the SilverWhere Installation Guide available at Oracle Help Center.
Acquire the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) compliant security certificate from the Certification Authority.
You can perform a custom installation or a typical installation. Perform a custom installation to avoid installing options and products you do not need. If you perform a typical installation, remove or disable features that you do not need after the installation.
The installation requires the user running the installation to have an Administrator privilege assigned. Users without the required access might complete the installation but it may not be successful.
When creating a database, enter a complex password that adheres to the database hardening guides for all users.
