Express Installation

• An Express installation sets up a fully configured single-user/single-machine system with either a fresh database or a Vision Demo database

• You specify basic configuration parameters, such as database type and name, top-level installation directory, and port increments– The remaining directories and mount points are supplied

by Rapid Install using default values

• This type of installation contains a default set of core Applications products– It uses the US7ASCII character set (for a fresh database)

and the UTF8 character set for a (Vision Demo install)


Express Installation
