Installing Marketing Operations

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

Each time that you run the IBM® EMM Suite installer, you must first enter database connection information for the Marketing Platform system tables. When the Marketing Operations installer starts, you must enter the required information for Marketing Operations.

After installing Marketing Operations, 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.

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