Crystal Enterprise requires a database (or Oracle tablespace) to store information about the system and its users. Consequently, before you install Crystal Enterprise, you or your database administrator must create a new, empty database on your database server. The following database servers are supported on UNIX:
Note: See the Platforms.txt file included with your product distribution for a complete list of tested database software and version requirements.
It is recommended that you name the new database CEaps, create a new user account named crystal, and assign that user account a secure password. Ensure that the new account has permission to create, modify, and delete tables so that Crystal Enterprise can modify the CEaps database as required. You will need the name of the database, the user account, and the password when you run the Crystal Enterprise installation script.
Note: Consult your database server documentation and/or your database administrator if you are unsure of the procedure for creating a new database.
