Interact installation worksheet

Use the Interact installation worksheet to gather information about the database that contains your Interact system tables and about other IBM® EMM products that are required for the installation of Interact.

All the Interact data sources must be of the same type. For example, if your Campaign system tables are in Oracle databases, all the other databases must be Oracle.

Runtime tables

Runtime tables contain deployment data from the design time environment, staging tables for contact and response history, and runtime statistics. You can have multiple databases that contain runtime tables.

Enter the database information for each runtime environment in the following table:
