The modular nature of the RMS makes it possible to install the individual components of the RMS on separate servers. This chapter describes how to setup the RMS as per the diagram below and is divided into the following sections:
The RMS Database component needs to be installed first. This is to ensure that the configuration of the other components can be completed during installation. To install the RMS database ensure that the database server fulfills the following Requirements and then Run the install program.
The database server must fulfill the following requirements:
Have a Windows XP/Server 2003 operating system
Have SQL Server 2000/2005 or Oracle 9i/10g installed
A network connection to the Perception database server
You will also need:
The Perception Tablespace name and table space user if using Oracle
The Perception database name and database user if using SQL Server
A network connection to the RMS Import Service server
A network connection to the RMS Web Server Application server
A database role capable of creating databases and tables
If using Oracle 9i or 10g you will need to complete the following tasks before running the RMS Installer:
Create a Tablespace
Create a User
For further details about creating the appropriate Tablespace and user in Oracle, please refer to Creating an Oracle Tablespace and User
Run the install program on the Database server where you would like to install the RMS database and carry out the following steps:
Insert the Company Name and Country of your organization
|

Windows is not always able to return a full list of database servers when using the Browse button. If the database server you want to use is not listed, please type the database server name into the Database Server text-box
Select the Database Type by choosing the appropriate option
Type in the required Login ID and Password for the database creation process
If you are using:
Oracle this will be the user and password created in the Creating an Oracle Tablespace and User section
SQL Server this will be the 'sa' account details. However, once the database is created you can change the details for the RMS database, please refer to Creating an SQL Server database user for RMS
Click Next to allow the installer program to validate the database server credentials supplied and continue with the remaining steps
This screen will only appear if you are using SQL Server. Enter the name of the database you would like to create in the RMS Database Name text-box. Click Next to continue
The database creation procedure will now occur. Once this has completed click Finish to close the installer wizard
You can now run the installation program on the appropriate server for the Import Service and Web Server Application.
Run the install program on the Application server where you would like to install the RMS Import Service. The RMS Import Service can only be installed after the RMS database has been installed. The Application server must have:
A Windows XP/Server 2003 operating system
A network connection to the Perception database server
A network connection to the RMS Database server
Run the install and complete the following steps to install the Import Service:

If using SQL Server, ensure you have created an SQL Server database user before setting up the RMS through the Configuration Application. For further details, please refer to Creating an SQL Server database user for RMS
Run the install program on the Web server where you would like to install the RMS Web Server Application. The RMS Web Server application can only be installed after the RMS database has been installed. The Web server must have:
A Windows XP/Server 2003 operating system with IIS installed (Windows Server 2003 is recommended for a higher number of concurrent users)
A network connection to the Perception database server
A network connection to the RMS Database server
The .NET 2.0 Framework and ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 extension (if these are not found they will be automatically installed by the RMS installer)
Run the install application and complete the following steps to install the Web Server Application:
