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:
Choose what language to run the PMF Setup program in before proceeding.
Click Next to continue.
Note: Choosing New will install a new version and overwrite any existing PMF installation. For more information on how to upgrade an already existing version of PMF, see Upgrading a PMF Installation.
Click Next to continue.
Click Next to continue.
Note: The fields available in this window depend on what components were installed in step 4. The Tomcat default location on windows is typically located in c:\Program Files\Apache Software\Apache Tomcat\Webapps\Root\.
Click Next to continue.
Click Next to continue.
The default ID is admin with no password.
Click Next to continue.
Click Next to continue.
Note: If you are not using MS SQL Server on the same system that you are installing PMF on (most typically found on an IB demo machine), go to step 9 to manually create the database utilizing the included DDL scripts.
An example of a completed database connection window is shown in the following image.
Click Next and go to step 10.
Note: You will also need to configure your own adapter connection for this RDBMS.
Click Next and a summary information window will be displayed, similar to the one in the following image. However, there will be no database or connection at the end of the installation. To create the database and connection, see Setting Up Your Data Mart Connection.
Note: Up to this point, no changes have been made to your machine and you may cancel the setup.
Click Next to continue.
Click Next to continue.
After the Setup program is complete, the following window appears, prompting you to restart the Web Server and Web Application Server.
Click Next to continue.
Click Finish to exit the installation.
Next, you or your database administrator (DBA) needs to create a database and connection as described in the next topic. You can then verify your PMF installation as documented in the respective section for your RDBMS.
Choose what language to run the setup in before proceeding.
Enter 1 to continue.
Note: Selecting New will install a new version and overwrite any existing PMF installation. For more information on how to upgrade an already existing version of PMF, see Upgrading a PMF Installation.
