  2. On Data Server Revisions, complete these fields:

    Field

    Description

    Machine Usage

    The default value of 25 indicates that this is a Database Server.

    Machine Name

    Enter the name of your Database Server. The name is case sensitive, should not exceed 15 characters, and should not contain any special characters.

    This name is not case-sensitive in the Installation Planner. Therefore, regardless of underlying UNIX operating system considerations, you cannot name multiple Database Servers with the same name but with different cases. For example, you cannot name multiple Database Servers ORACLE and oracle.

    Description

    Enter a description of the Database Server machine.

    Release

    Enter the release number you are installing, for example, E920.

    Host Type

    Select the type of Database Server that you are adding to the plan. Values are:

    • 10 — IBM i

    • 25 — Sun Solaris

    • 30 — RS\6000

    • 35 — Linux

    • 50 — Microsoft Windows (Intel)

    • 80— Client - Microsoft Windows

    • 90 — Client - Microsoft Windows

    Location

    The Installation Planner populates this field by default, based on previous selections.

    Primary User

    The user to whom an email is sent once a package is deployed. The default for Primary User is jde920.

    This is also the UNIX user ID that is used to install Release 9.2 on the Enterprise Server. For example, JDE.

    Field

    Description
