To set configuration options for Windows installation

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.

1. Access the Terminal Services Configuration console by using one of the following methods:
   • Go to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Terminal Services Configuration.
   • Go to Start > Run, and then type tscc.msc.
2. Click Server Settings.
3. Disable each of the following options by setting each to No:
   • Delete temporary folders on exit
   • Use temporary folders per session
4. Restart the computer.

To set up the installation environment for BMC Release Process Management

Before you start setting up the installation environment for BRPM, carefully review the system requirements for your platform.

• BMC recommends that you do not install multiple BRPM instances on the same machine unless you are doing a product upgrade.
• If you do not plan to use the Install PostgreSQL feature during the installation of BRPM, create a PostgreSQL database, an Oracle database, or a Microsoft SQL database before installing the product.

To use the installed JRE for BMC Release Process Management

By default, Java Runtime Engine (JRE) is bundled with BMC Release Process Management. For the bundled versions of JRE, see System-requirements.

If you want to use the JRE that is already installed on your computer, after extracting the BMC Release Process Management installation files, complete the following steps:

Windows, Linux:

From the RLMinstallationFolder\RLM\Disk1\files\jre\lib\security folder, copy the following files to the JREhome folder:

• local_policy.jar
• US_export_policy.jar

Solaris:

1. Go to JREhome/lib/security, and then open the java.security file in a text editor.

2. Locate the following lines:

   #
   # List of providers and their preference orders (see above):
   #
   security.provider.1=com.oracle.security.ucrypto.UcryptoProvider ${java.home}/lib/security/ucrypto-solaris.cfg
   security.provider.2=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 ${java.home}/lib/security/sunpkcs11-solaris.cfg
   security.provider.3=sun.security.provider.Sun

3. Change the lines as follows:

   #
   # List of providers and their preference orders (see above):
   #
   security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
   security.provider.2=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 ${java.home}/lib/security/sunpkcs11-solaris.cfg
   security.provider.3=com.oracle.security.ucrypto.UcryptoProvider ${java.home}/lib/security/ucrypto-solaris.cfg
4. Save your changes.
