CLASSPATH

Environment variable that specifies the directory in which Java class files reside.

Software installation location

Directory in which the PPM Server is to be installed and configured. If the directory does not exist, the installer creates it. The directory path cannot contain spaces.

Path to the Autopass license key file

The Autopass license key file contains valid PPM license keys that you generated from the Micro Focus Licensing for Software portal.

If you do not have a valid Autopass license key file, see Generate Autopass license.

Path to JAVA_HOME

The directory in which Java is installed. On UNIX systems, this environment variable is set in the profile file (a *.profile or *.cshrc file) of the user who is installing PPM.

Windows example

C:\jdk1.7

Database Access page

(Displayed if you chose to have the installer create the database schemas)

System access username

System database user name to give the installer access to the database.

System password

System database password to give the installer access to the database.

JDBC URL the PPM Server uses to connect the Oracle database.

Short format (non-RAC):

jdbc:oracle:thin:@<Host_Name><Port><SID>

where

• <Host_Name> is the host name or IP address of the computer running the database
• <Port> is the port number that SQL*Net uses to connect to the database. To get the actual value, look at the corresponding entry in tnsnames.ora
• <SID> is the security identifier of the database. This is usually identical to the database connect string. If it is different, an extra parameter is required.

RAC format:

RAC (description=(address_list=(address= (protocol=TCP) (host=<Host_Name1>) (port=<Port>)) (address=(protocol=TCP) (host=<Host_Name2>) (port=<Port>))(load_balance=YES))(connect_ data=(server=DEDICATED)(service_name= <Service_Name>))

Example of database access information used to enable the PPM Server to communicate with databases on two servers named Jaguar1 and Jaguar2:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=jaguar1) (PORT=1521)) (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=jaguar2)(PORT=1521))) (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=J920)))

ORACLE_HOME

Home directory for the Oracle client tools on the PPM Server machine. The directory path cannot contain spaces.

PATH

Environment variable that specifies the directories to be searched to find a command.

SQL*PLUS

Location of the SQL*Plus utility.

SQL*Plus is not required for installation, but is required for the PPM Server.

Example

C:\Oracle\bin\sqlplus.exe

If the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set, then this parameter is detected automatically.
