The following are release considerations for installation:
- As of Release 8.2 Version 04, Java 8 or higher is required for WebFOCUS and App Studio.
If you are upgrading to Release 8.2.04, make sure the application server is configured with Java 8.
- For Microsoft SQL and MySQL, if a case-insensitive database is detected, the installation will attempt to change the database
collation to the best matched case-sensitive collation.
If the collation change fails, a message displays and the database creation does not take place.
This is applicable to new installations and when using a new empty database for the WebFOCUS repository.
- By default, for App Studio, the App Studio fault log file, AppStudioFault.log, is saved in the My Documents folder on the
local machine. The log file is saved in the C:\Users\user_ID\Documents\ folder, instead of the bin folder. You can configure this location to point to a different folder, another drive,
or another computer on your network.
- For new installations, upgrades, and
uninstalls, it is recommended to turn off any anti-virus and
anti-malware protection programs you have for the duration of the
installation, upgrade, or uninstall process, as these applications
may block, interfere, or slow down the installation, upgrade, or
uninstall process, and in turn, possibly cause a
failure.
Restart your protection programs when the
installation, upgrade, or uninstall completes. If you chose to
leave protection programs active and an error occurred, the
protection logs should be checked and the installation, upgrade, or
uninstall repeated after protection deactivation. As there are many
protection vendors, we cannot be specific as to what to expect in
logs or during a failure, aside from the error likely being a file
in use error.
