Typical and Custom Installation Types

The installation utility may prompt you to select one of the following installation types:

• The Typical installation type uses defaults values for all optional configuration information. It prompts you only for mandatory configuration information. This type is for any or all of the following situations:
  • You are new to the PATROL product that you are installing and you have an agent or console already installed in the default directories.

  • You are performing a first-time installation (you are not upgrading), and you are installing into the default product installation directories.

    Note

    If you are installing PATROL KM for Event Management to an existing PATROL Agent or Console environment that is not in the default installation directory, use Custom. Do not use Typical. Typical will automatically install the agent or console with PATROL KM for Event Management and overwrite your existing installation.

• With the Custom installation type, you can install individual components of the product. It requires that you specify all configuration information. This type is for any or all of the following situations:
  • You want to install individual components rather than the entire product.
  • You want to specify
    • The port numbers that components use to communicate with each other
    • A security level greater than basic security
    • Any other product settings that a user might want to change
  • You are upgrading PATROL KM for Event Management from a previously installed version.

  • You are installing into an existing PATROL environment that is not in the default installation directory.
     The Custom installation type installs the KMs that you select.
    With each installation type, you can deselect any components that you don't want to install.

    Note

    If you choose the typical installation type, the PATROL KM for Event Management is automatically installed when you select the operating system KM. For example, if you select the PATROL KM for Windows Operating System, the PATROL KM for Event Management is automatically installed.
