Installing Unica Discover involves planning and preparing your environment, installing and configuring prerequisite software, obtaining the Unica Discover installation files, and running the Unica Discover installer.
After you complete installation and the initial configuration tasks for each licensed Discover product and module, verify the operations of your Discover solution. This section provides a simple procedure for testing end-to-end operations of the Discover solution, with modifications based on optional components that you may have installed.
