Installing PMF in WebFOCUS 8
After you have installed the required WebFOCUS components,
you can install and configure PMF. The Setup program simplifies
the setup process. It is a cross-platform GUI-based installation
program written in the Java language that runs on any operating
system that supports a Java-based GUI. This includes Windows, UNIX,
and Linux.
Before you use the Setup program, note the following:
- The Setup program can separately deploy client and server
components of the PMF application to your WebFOCUS Data Server and
WebFOCUS web server.
- The Setup program deploys conversion scripts for use by your
Database Administrator (DBA) to create new data marts and migrate
existing data marts from previous versions.
