Installing Distributed Marketing

You must run the IBM® Marketing Software installer to start the installation of Distributed Marketing. The IBM Marketing Software installer starts the Distributed Marketing installer during the installation process. Make sure that the IBM Marketing Software installer and the product installer are saved at the same location.

Each time that you run the IBM Marketing Software suite installer, you must first enter database connection information for the Marketing Platform system tables. When the Distributed Marketing installer starts, you must enter the required information for Distributed Marketing.

Note: The IBM Marketing Software installer requires information about Marketing Platform.

After installing Distributed Marketing, you can create an EAR file for your product, and you can install the reports package for your product. Creating the EAR file and installing the reports package are not mandatory actions.

After installing Opportunity Detect, you can create an EAR file if necessary.

Important: Before you install Distributed Marketing, make sure that the available temporary space on the computer where you install Distributed Marketing is more than three times the size of the Distributed Marketing installer.

For information about installing Distributed Marketing on clustered environment, see "Cluster Configuration" in the IBM SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services (C&DS) Guide.

Note: Information about using web application clustering in IBM Campaign is provided in IBM Campaign web application clustering.
