Install a schema only

Important: Your RDBMS must be running before you start the installation.

  1. Run the server installer. Read and accept the license agreement.

  2. Select New Install and then Server.

  3. Select Install Dimensions Database Schema Only.

  4. Accept the directory where the CM server is already installed or choose a different one.

  5. Enter the OS account name and password for the Dimensions CM system administrator. Default: dmsys

  6. Select a database:

    • Local: Use an Oracle located on the local machine.

    • Remote: Use an Oracle located on a remote machine.

  7. Select an Oracle version.

  8. Select the directory or path where Oracle is installed.

  9. Enter the owner of the Oracle files. If you are connecting to:

    • A local database enter the user on the local machine.

    • A remote database enter the user on the remote machine.

    Default: oracle

  10. Enter the following Oracle system information:

    • Host name of the machine where Oracle is installed.

    • System ID (SID), for example: dim14

    • NET8 Service Name, for example: dim14

    • TCP /IP Port number: may be a local or remote Oracle instance. Default: 1521

    SID and NET8 Service name are normally the same. You must enter these correctly. Otherwise, the installation doesn’t function properly.

  11. Enter the following Oracle values:

    • Oracle administration user.

    • Oracle administration password.

    • Password for the PCMS_SYS schema that was created for the Oracle instance.

    Note:  

    • Values are case-sensitive.

    • If you are installing on a Linux server that has a 32-bit RDBMS a message may appear. This server is native 64-bit and cannot be used with a 32-bit RDBMS. The installer automatically installs a 64-bit Oracle Instant Client. Accept the default directory or select a different one.

  12. Select a demo process model. For details, see Create OS user accounts.
  13. Specify the operating system ID of the tool manager for the demo process model. Default: dmsys

    Specify credentials for the work and deployment areas:

    • Area Owner ID

      Accept the default (dmsys) or enter a login ID. This user is set by default as the system administrator login ID.

    • Password

      Enter the password for the area owner.

    Accept the default directory for the demo process model areas or select a different one.

    After the installation you must assign operating system accounts to the users in the sample process model. For details, see Create OS user accounts.

  14. Enter the host name of the Dimensions CM server.

  15. Review the settings and click Install. The installer creates the Oracle tablespaces and sample process model. This may take some time.

    When installation is complete, click Finish.

Note: If you install a server on Linux 64-bit, you may see the following error:

There were errors installing the cm_typical libraries.

Consult the log files to verify if the error occurred. If not, you can safely ignore the message.
