Installing Stat

This guide documents the steps necessary to install Quest® Stat® version 6.3.0 on either an Oracle® or a Microsoft® SQL Server® database. The guide is divided into the following sections.

•
Prepare for installation
•
Unpack the 6.3.0 Installer
•
Install the Stat Database
•
Create a Staging Database (PeopleSoft Only)
•
Install the Stat Client
•
Configure the Stat Database
•
Update the System Maintenance Table
•
Install the Stat Central Agent
•
Install the Stat Oracle Agent (Oracle E-Business Suite only)
•
Configure the SYSTEM user account
•
Update the PS Object Mover Instructions (PeopleSoft Only)
•
Implement Stat

The sections are listed in the order that they need to be performed. The Stat Installation CD contains the scripts that are used to build the Stat database. A new database must exist in order to do configurations.

This document assumes the user has a working knowledge of Stat and access to the user manuals, especially Stat System Administration Guide. The section Configure the Stat Database assumes that data is being created in the new Stat database. However, the instructions could be applied to any Stat database.

Prepare for installation

•
The Stat® Client can be installed as a local installation.
•
The Stat Client can also be installed in a single location on the network accessible by all the users.
•
The user installing or uninstalling the Stat Client must be logged in as an Administrator locally on that server/workstation due to enhanced security on Windows® operating systems.
•
Verify the location of the database directories on the server and the instance names (check with your DBA for this information).
•
Depending on available resources, the Stat database can reside on the same server as the current PeopleSoft®, Oracle® E-Business Suite, or generic application database, or on a stand-alone server.
•
Verify connectivity to the database that was created for Stat:
•
Oracle: Oracle client connectivity, compatible to the database version, on all workstations.
•
SQL Server®: SQL Server client connectivity, compatible to the database version, on all workstations.
•
Ensure that the new Stat databases are included in the Maintenance, Backup and Recovery Strategy for this organization before continuing.
