Prerequisites for MSSQL
NOTE: These requirements are applicable for Engagement Services.
Database collation needs to be set for a database. This is possible while creating a database with your required language as database collation. For example, use Database collation as Arabic_100_CI_AS for Arabic language support. Similarly for other languages use appropriate collation for support. Use SQL Server Management Studio to create a database with the name as kpnsdb and with appropriate collation support.
Steps before installing (or) upgrading Fabric with an existing database
Perform the following activities before installing (or) upgrading Quantum Fabric with the existing database:
- Take a backup of your database.
- Make sure you have a previously installed directory.
- Take a backup of the applications that are deployed at the server level. After the installation is complete, take a backup of the changes that were made to the binaries.
- After the installation or upgrade process is complete, replace the old
authService.key,workspaceService.key, andACCOUNTS_ENCRYPTION_KEYkeys.
This is only applicable for the identity and workspace components.
Create /tmp Folder
Quantum Fabric Installer requires a /tmp folder in a Linux environment to unpack the installer. When the /tmp folder is not found, the Installer displays an I/O exception at the time of unpack exception.
This must be specified in the pre-req of installation. Installation requires temp folder to unpack MF installer (either default / custom temp folder).
