Unica Campaign installation worksheet

Use the Unica Campaign installation worksheet to gather information about the Unica Campaign database and about other Unica products that are required for the installation of Unica Campaign.

Use the following table to gather information about the empty database that was created for the Unica Campaign system tables. The empty database that you set up for Unica Campaign can have any name. If you use UA_SYSTEM_TABLES as the ODBC name for that database, the Unica Campaign system tables will be mapped automatically.

Table 1. Information about the database

This two-columned table provides a checklist of the various types of information that you must gather about the database in the first column, and provides space to note the information in the second column.
Field Notes®
Database type
Database name
Database account user name
Database account password
JNDI name UnicaPlatformDS
ODBC name
If you are installing on UNIX™, obtain the information that is given in the following table:
Table 2. Information about the database for UNIX™

This two-columned table provides a checklist of the various types of information that you must gather about the database on a UNIX™ operating system in the first column, and provides space to note the information in the second column.
Database information Notes®
If your database type is one of the following types, record the database installation directory:
  • DB2®
  • Oracle
For all database types when Campaign is installed on the Solaris, Linux™, or AIX®® operating systems, record the location of the lib directory in the database installation.
You can use the information in Information about the database for UNIX when you edit the setenv.sh file during the installation and configuration process.

Checklist for Unica Platform database

The installation wizards for each Unica product must be able to communicate with the Unica Platform system table database to register the product. Each time that you run the installer, you must enter the following database connection information for the Unica Platform system table database:
  • JDBC connection URL
  • Database host name
  • Database port
  • Database name or schema ID
  • User name and password for the database account

Checklist for Unica Platform deployment on the web application server

Obtain the following information before deploying Unica Platform:
  • Protocol: HTTP, or HTTPS if SSL is implemented in the web application server.
  • Host: The name of the machine on which the Unica Platform will be deployed.
  • Port: The port on which the web application server listens.
  • Domain name: The company domain of each machine where HCL products are installed. For example, example.com. All HCL products must be installed in the same company domain, and you must enter the domain name in all lower case letters.

    If there is a mismatch in domain name entries, you might encounter problems when you attempt to use Unica Platform features or navigate among products. You can change the domain name after the products are deployed by logging in and changing values of the relevant configuration properties in the product navigation categories on the Settings > Configuration page.

Checklist for enabling Unica Platform utilities

If you plan to use the Unica Platform utilities, obtain the following JDBC connection information before you start to install the Unica Platform.

  • Path to the JRE. The default value is the path to the 1.8 version of the JRE that the installer places under your installation directory.

    You can accept this default or specify a different path. If you specify a different path, you must point to the 1.8 version of the Sun JRE.

  • JDBC driver class. The installer automatically provides this, based on the database type that you specify in the installer.
  • JDBC connection URL. The installer provides the basic syntax, including the host name, database name, and port. You can customize the URL by adding additional parameters.
  • JDBC driver classpath on your system.

Information about the web component

Obtain the following information for all Unica products that have a web component, which you deploy on a web application server:
  • The name of the systems on which the web application servers are installed. You can have one or several web application servers, depending on the Unica environment that you are setting up.
  • The port on which the application server listens. If you plan to implement SSL, obtain the SSL port.
  • The network domain for your deployment system. For example, mycompany.com.
