General Considerations

System administrators, database administrators, and system implementation personnel should read this chapter in preparation for installing the enterprise or deployment relational database management systems (RDBMS).

The database administrator must install the RDBMS before the software implementation team arrives.

Caution: If cluster software is used in conjunction with a DBMS additional considerations exist. You should consult cluster installation documentation for the specific DBMS before beginning the Enterprise Server installation.

A qualified database administrator should be present when the databases are installed, loaded, configured, and maintained for use with Release 9.2. The database administrator must understand how to maintain the Release 9.2 database. This guide does not discuss RDBMS installation details.

Prior to using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Platform Pack Installer to load any databases, you must already have a DBMS installed on the target machine.
