Steps Involved

The steps involved to use the product are:

1. Order the Topaz Enterprise Data feature pack, including the latest maintenance, through BMC Compuware’s Product Ordering web page or by contacting your BMC Compuware representative.
2. Make sure that your environment satisfies the system requirements and prerequisites specified in Milestone-1-Prerequisites.

3. Install File-AID Services on either Windows or Linux by following the appropriate instructions in Milestone-2-Installing-File-AID-Services. You will need to access the FAS installation from either the Topaz Enterprise Data media or from the download provided with an RFN order. The versions of FAS, FARE, Data Privacy plug-in, and Topaz Workbench client must match exactly.

   Tip

   No specific login is required to access the Data Privacy perspective within Topaz Workbench. When the Data Studio’s Data Privacy perspective is selected, the currently active user ID determines the Data Privacy role assignment. All roles are assigned at the server level and all repositories within the same server will have the same role assignments.

4. Milestone-3-Installing-Topaz-for-Enterprise-Data-Client includes instructions for installing the client components for Enterprise Data, including Topaz Workbench with the Enterprise Data option, enabling data access support, installing File-AID/EX and various configuration setups.
5. Milestone-4-Installing-Standalone-File-AID-EX-Execution-Server-s includes the installation of the File-AID/EX execution servers and the File-AID Rules Engine.
6. Milestone 5: Installing Topaz for Enterprise Data Companion Components on Mainframe includes the installation of File-AID and File-AID Executive.
7. In Data Studio’s Data Privacy, users must be assigned Data Privacy roles. Milestone-6-Configuring-Data-Privacy-Security discusses how these roles are used and how they are configured.
