Simphony Deployment Process

This section shows deployment scenarios for on-premises installations of Simphony and Reporting and Analytics. Starting with Reporting and Analytics version 20.1, R&A is not available for on-premises installations. See the Food and Beverage Compatibility Matrix for compatibility details between Simphony and Reporting and Analytics versions.

The following high-level steps comprise the Simphony deployment process.

1. Select the deployment scenario that aligns with the Reporting and Analytics (R&A) release to be used.

   Before installation and configuration, determine which deployment scenario meets your requirements. See Implementation Deployment Scenarios for more information about the minimum requirements based on the implementation scenario that is deployed.

2. Install the database server application.

   The database platform must be installed prior to installing Simphony application components. See the Oracle Food and Beverage Compatibility Matrix for more information about the supported database platforms.

3. Install or upgrade R&A.

   Run the Simphony installation application to perform a fresh installation, upgrade, or upon adding application or database servers. List of Simphony Components and Services contains more installation information.

4. Install Simphony.

5. Configure Post-installation Settings to ensure that the application components and the database are configured correctly after installation.

6. Log in to EMC to ensure that the Simphony application and the database applications are set correctly.
