Installation Guide
- Installation overview
  The installation of HCL Unica products is complete when you install, deploy, and configure the HCL Unica products.
- Planning the Unica Audience Central installation
  When you plan your Unica Audience Central installation, ensure the following:
- Configuring the web application server for your JDBC driver
  The web application server where you plan to deploy Unica Audience Central must contain the correct JAR file to support JDBC connections. This enables your web application to connect to the system tables. The location of the JAR file must be included in the class path of the web application server.
- Installing Unica Audience Central
  You must run the Unica installer to start the installation of Audience Central. The Unica installer starts the product installer during the installation process. Make sure that the Unica installer and the product installer are saved at the same location.
- Deploying Unica Audience Central
  There are general guidelines for deploying Unica Audience Central.
  - Configuration of JVM parameters for Unica products
    You must configure the following JVM parameters in the Unica porducts.
  - Deploying Unica Audience Central on WebSphere
    You can deploy the Unica Audience Central application from a WAR file or an EAR file on the WebSphere® Application Server (WAS).
  - Deploying Unica Audience Central on WebLogic
    Use the following guidelines for deploying Unica Audience Central on WebLogic.
  - Deploying Unica Audience Central on JBoss
    You can deploy Unica products on JBoss application server. Use the following guidelines when you deploy Unica Audience Central on JBoss:
  - Deploying Unica Audience Central on Tomcat
    You must follow a set of guidelines when you deploy Unica Audience Central on Apache Tomcat.
- Configuration of Unica Audience Central after Deployment
  After you deploy and start the Unica Audience Central application, log in and verify the installation. There are some basic configuration steps you must perform.
- Administration of Unica Audience Central
  After installing Unica Audience Central, the administrator must complete a few procedures to activate and use Unica Audience Central.

  To uninstall Unica Audience Central, run the uninstaller. When you run the uninstaller, the files that were created during the installation process are removed. For example, files such as configuration files, installer registry information, and user data are removed from the computer.

Deploying Unica Audience Central on WebLogic

Use the following guidelines for deploying Unica Audience Central on WebLogic.

About this task

Unica products customize the JVM used by WebLogic. You might create a WebLogic instance dedicated to Unica products if you encounter JVM-related errors.
Do not install more than one Unica Audience Central application under the same WebLogic domain.
Verify that the Software Development Kit (SDK) selected for the WebLogic domain you are using is the Sun SDK by looking in the startup script (startWebLogic.cmd) for the JAVA_VENDOR variable. It should be set to JAVA_VENDOR=Sun. If it is set to JAVA_VENDOR=BEA, JRockit has been selected. JRockit is not supported. To change the selected SDK, refer to the WebLogic documentation.

Complete the following steps to deploy Unica Audience Central to WebLogic:

Procedure

If your operating system is AIX®, extract the Unica Audience Central WAR file, delete the xercesImpl.jar file from WEB_INF/lib directory, and recreate the WAR file.
If the installer combined products in an EAR file, you must first extract that file to obtain the WAR file, and you must recreate the EAR file.
If you are configuring WebLogic to use the IIS plug-in, review the WebLogic documentation to determine whether you have additional requirements.
From the bin directory under your WebLogic domain directory, locate and open the setDomainEnv script in a text editor. Scroll to the JAVA_OPTIONS property and add the following entries. Use a space to separate entries.
- set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DUNICA_PLATFORM_CACHE_ENABLED=true-DAUDIENCE_CENTRAL_HOME=<UNICA_HOME>\<Audience_Home>"
  where <UNICA_HOME> is the path to the top-level directory and <Audience_Home> is the path to the directory where you installed Unica Audience Central.
- For your installation to support non-ASCII characters, example for Portuguese or for locales that require multi-byte characters, add the following arguments to Generic JVM Arguments at the server level:
```
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
-Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
```
Save and close the file.
Restart WebLogic.
Deploy Unica Audience Central as a web application module: select AudienceCentral.war.
Start the deployed web application.
