Setting up the installation environment
This topic describes how to set up the installation environment.
Before you begin
- Ensure that the system meets the hardware and software requirements listed in System-requirements.
- If you do not plan to install PostgreSQL database during the installation of BMC Release Process Management, create a PostgreSQL database, an Oracle database, or a Microsoft SQL database before performing the installation.
- If you plan to install BMC Release Lifecycle Management on a remote computer on the Windows platform, you might want to set the required Terminal Server configuration options.
To set the Terminal Server configuration options (optional)
On a Windows computer, to enable running the installation wizard through a Terminal Services connection or a remote desktop session, you must turn off certain Terminal Server configuration options that pertain to temporary folders.
- Access the Terminal Services Configuration console by using one of the following methods:
- Select Start > Administrative Tools > Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services) > Terminal Services Configuration (Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration).
- Select Start > Run. Then type tsconfig.msc and press Enter.
- Select Server Settings.
- Disable the following options by setting each to No:
- Delete temporary folders on exit
- Use temporary folders per session
- Restart the computer.
