Database setup during installation or reinstallation
The IBM Distributed Marketing installer offers two options for system table database setup: automatic or manual. If you choose automatic database setup, the installer drops and then recreates the Distributed Marketing system tables. This is true for new installations and re-installations.
If you choose the manual option for a new installation, you must set up the system tables after installation by running the appropriate scripts for your database type.
If you are performing a reinstallation and you have already set up the Distributed Marketing system tables, you can avoid dropping and recreating the tables by choosing the manual option without running the database setup scripts after the reinstallation.
Where to find complete system requirement and compatibility information
Where to find report package reference documentation
Reference documentation for report packages is no longer available on the documentation server where the PDF versions of the product documentation are posted. You can access the reference documentation for report packages after you install the reporting schemas on the machine where the Marketing Platform is installed. The reference documentation is in a subdirectory of the Cognos10 directory under the report package installation
