Preparing for installation of BMC Digital Workplace
Complete the following tasks:
| Task | Action | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Complete installation worksheets for Digital Workplace. | Before you start installing the products, you must gather information about the parameters that the installer requires for each product. The planning spreadsheet provided in this section helps you gather these parameter values. To avoid installation errors, refer to this spreadsheet when you run the installation. |
| 2 | Download the BMC Digital Workplace installation files. | This topic explains how to obtain the files that you need for installation from the BMC Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) site. |
| 3 | Install Oracle JDK or OpenJDK 11 | Install Oracle JDK or OpenJDK 11 on all the servers where you will install BMC Digital Workplace. Set the Java Home path. |
| 4 | Pre-create the database. | If you have database access restrictions and cannot allow the BMC Digital Workplace installer to create a database, a DBA can create a pre-existing database. |
| 5 | (Linux) Review Requirements for a non-root user to run the installer | If a non-root user will run the installer in a Linux environment, a system administrator must set the needed permissions. |
| 6 | Apply the deployment package on your Remedy ITSM server | (For ITSM 18.08 or later) Before you install BMC Digital Workplace, install the BMC Digital Workplace deployment package on your Remedy ITSM server. This package enables BMC Remedy ITSM to work with BMC Digital Workplace. Without this package, timelines, email notifications, and social features will not work in BMC Digital Workplace. For more information, see
Applying a deployment package
(For ITSM 18.05 or earlier) If you are performing a new installation of BMC Digital Workplace, you must also install the BMC Digital Workplace ITSM Integration Patch Version 18.05. For more information, see Installing the ITSM integration patch. Note: You can skip this step if you are upgrading from a previous version of BMC Digital Workplace and installed the BMC Digital Workplace ITSM Integration Patch Version 18.05.00 patch. |
| 7 | (Linux) Installing the package to launch the UI installer (on Linux). | On a Linux environment, to invoke the UI installer for installing BMC Digital Workplace, you must download a package containing Xorg libraries. |
