Installation and Environment Considerations
2.1
Most Important: Upgrade vs. New Installation
Top
Although Windows 98 is supported for now, clients are urged to install Personal Oracle
8i to Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP. When deciding whether to upgrade
their operating systems, clients should consider the various ramifications that are inherent
with upgrades. Specifically, many programs do not function correctly – and sometimes
completely fail – after an operating system is upgraded. See Appendix C for more
details.
SunGard Corbel has conducted extensive testing of upgrading operating systems from
versions earlier than Windows 2000/XP. Consequently, SunGard Corbel has
concluded that installing Personal Oracle 8i to a “fresh” operating system is the
most successful and preferred method. This is a common industry practice, and it is
usually preferred on systems running databases and mission-critical applications.
Microsoft’s web site also recommends this installation method when possible. Clearly
stated, if a new PC with its new, original operating system cannot be purchased, clients
should back up their systems, export their database to a drive other than their main C:
drive, format the C: drive, install Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP to a clean
drive (with at least 5 GB of free space), and then begin this installation.
Clients must back up and export their data before installing the Operating System,
as a newly installed Operating System may format the drive and cause loss of data.
2.2
Program File Location
Personal Oracle 8 must be installed to the local C: drive in the \Oracle\Ora81 directory.
Additionally, Relius Administration 8.0 installs program files to C:\Program
Files\Relius\Administration. SunGard Corbel strongly recommends using the defaults.
Relius Administration cannot be installed to a network. You will need your 6-character
Client ID (ABC123 format) before beginning. Your Client ID is necessary for
proper licensing (see Section 9). Improperly identifying your Client ID can result in
faulty or missing licensing.
2.3
Level-One Systems
Level-One Systems do not include Crystal Reports. The use of custom Crystal Reports is
prohibited on Level-One Systems. However, in order to run Report Writer Reports
provided with Relius Administration, the Crystal Report Writer will still need to be
installed.
106754503
Relius Admin. 8.0 New Single-UserPage 2 of Error! Bookmark not defined.
2.4
Installation Methods
Personal Oracle 8 and Relius Administration are only available on CD-ROM. A local
CD-ROM drive is recommended and supported. Each workstation will require access to
a local CD-ROM drive. Other methods of installing (network volumes, “push” or
“ghost” technology, Z.E.N. Works, Zip Drives, etc.) are not supported or recommended.
If a remote, shared CD-ROM drive is used to install the software, it must be mapped with
a drive letter assigned. Running the Relius Administration 8.0 SETUP.EXE from a CDROM accessed by browsing with Network Neighborhood will fail.
2.5
Software fixes and documents via Internet
Fixes, support files, and updated documentation are distributed via the web at
http://www.sungardcorbel.com/support/loginform.asp. Users must have Internet
capability to receive these fixes. Once you have logged on, click the “Administration”
link to browse the list of available material. You can click “Subscribe”
(http://www.sungardcorbel.com/support/subscribe.asp) to receive notification of new
fixes by e-mail. SunGard Corbel no longer sends patches, updates, and upgrade
documentation through the mail, and we strongly urge all users to subscribe to this
service.
2.6
Virus Scanners
Although SunGard Corbel does not endorse, support, or recommend any particular
method, virus protection is encouraged on servers and workstations. The two most
popular are Symantec’s Norton Anti-Virus and McAfee VirusScan by Network
Associates. You should update your virus definition files regularly. Some virus scanners
– if active during the installation – can interfere with a successful installation. Symptoms
include an error message stating that a file cannot be overwritten. Temporarily disable
virus scanning before starting the installer. Clients using Norton with Script Blocking
turned on should test the functionality of Relius Administration to determine whether
script blocking is affecting the application.
2.7
Security Considerations
Responsibility for support of problems and issues related to Relius Administration 8.0
running in a locked-down security configuration is that of the end user. Certain
circumstances may require billing on a time and material basis. SunGard Corbel cannot
guarantee that Relius Administration 8.0 will install or operate properly on any given
locked-down security configuration. Relius Administration 8.0 is certified and supported
only when run on the default Windows NT/2000/XP security settings.
The Windows NT/2000/XP Administrator (or a user with equivalent Administrator
rights) must run the installation.

2.8
Supported Operating Systems
Only the operating systems listed below are supported. All others are not supported.
2.9

Windows 98 Second Edition (See Step 2.9, below)

Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 2 or greater

Windows XP Professional or Home Edition
Windows 98 Considerations
Installation of Personal Oracle 8i on Windows 98 is intended for existing clients
migrating from Personal Oracle 7. New clients should not install Personal Oracle 8i on
Windows 98, and existing clients should plan to migrate their Windows 98 workstation to
Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP as quickly as possible. For more
information, please see the Product Lifecycle Guidelines on Microsoft’s web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.asp).
2.10
Database Startup Considerations
Windows 2000/XP: After re-booting your PO8i system, the database may cause the
Operating System to take an extra minute or two to start. This is normal. Personal
Oracle 8i sets up as a Windows “service” and is starting after initial logon like most other
services. To verify whether it is fully started, open Services (normally, Start | Programs |
Administrative Tools | Computer Management, then expand Services and Applications
and click Services). Review the list for the entry OracleServiceORCL to see if the
status is Starting, Started, or Stopped.
Windows 98: The PO8i database starts the first time you launch an Oracle Application or
Relius Administration. To manually start the database, click Start | Programs | Relius |
Admin | Start Database.
2.11
Hardware and Software Requirements
All hardware requirements are specified on our web site
(http://www.corbel.com/support/qt_technology.asp).

Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 2 or greater, or
Windows XP (Home and Professional). (Windows 98 systems should have the most
recent patches and Y2K fixes installed. See http://www.microsoft.com/ for more
information.)

Personal Oracle 8.1.7R3 pre-installed.

Appropriate printer driver (HP LaserJet III or greater).

Minimum video resolution of 800 x 600 with 256 colors.

Pre-Installation Procedures
3.1
This installation is valid for the versions of Windows listed in Section 2. All references
to “Windows,” unless otherwise noted, are also valid for those operating systems.
3.2
Run Scandisk or CHKDSK to check the integrity of your hard drive and have any
problems resolved before installing this release.
3.3
Be sure no screen saver will become active during the installation. SunGard Corbel
discourages the use of screen savers whenever running Personal Oracle 8, Relius
Administration, or the Installer.
3.4
Relius Administration 8.0 installs many of its support files in the “System” directory,
normally C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (on Windows 98), C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 (on
Windows 2000), or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 (on Windows XP).
3.5
The installation process takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete.
3.6
Review the Relius Administration 8.0 system requirements located on our web site
(http://www.corbel.com/support/qt_technology.asp). Do not proceed with the upgrade if
your environment does not meet the minimum system requirements.
3.7
Remove any icons or shortcuts from the StartUp folder. Additionally, programs that are
set to launch when Windows is started can also be specified in C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI
(or C:\WINNT\WIN.INI). Please edit this file using Notepad. Temporarily remark the
entries RUN= and LOAD= by placing a semi-colon (“;”) in front of the line (if programs
are specified), then Save and Exit the WIN.INI file. Example of remark:
Top
;RUN=EXAMPLE.EXE
3.8
Re-start the computer. Windows or other programs may have locked some files that need
to be overwritten during the upgrade process.
3.9
Temporarily disable all virus protection.

Installing Personal Oracle 8
Top
Note: This installation uses two CDs. The first CD is the “Relius Administration 8.0
Personal Oracle 8” CD, used for creating the Oracle database structure. The second CD
is the “Relius Administration 8.0” CD, used for installing Relius Administration and its
required components. Note: There are two unique, operating system-specific Personal
Oracle 8i CDs. Make certain you use the proper CD for your environment.
4.1
Insert the “Relius Administration 8.0 Personal Oracle 8” CD into your CD-ROM
drive.
4.2
From the Windows desktop, click on Start, then Run and type E:\Setup in the command
box, substituting E: with the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive, then click OK.

4.3
If your Windows 2000 Professional has not been updated to Service Pack 2 or higher, the
installation will abort. Please visit http://www.microsoft.com/ to download an updated
service pack before beginning.
4.4
If your computer has Personal Oracle 7 already installed, you will receive this message.
The integrity of data is the client’s responsibility. Clicking Yes will delete your
ORAWIN95 directory and destroy your existing database (during step 4.11). If you
have not exported and backed up your database, you must click No and take appropriate
steps to safely store your data. Export by clicking Start | Programs | Relius | Admin |
Export Database.
4.5
The installation program will evaluate your environment. If your environment is suitable,
the installation will continue.

Importing Your Database
Top
As currently configured, your Oracle 8i database is vacant. Your data must be imported before
proceeding. Only one type of import must be performed, either the empty database import, or
the existing data. If installing Relius Administration for the first time (no previous data), ignore
Step 5.3. If upgrading from Personal Oracle 7, ignore Step 5.2.
5.1
Open a Windows Command Prompt.
5.2
New Installations: Type IMP80ALL <Enter>. An “all dump,” an empty shell of a
database that contains only the database tables and necessary data to start Relius
Administration for the first time, will then import. Allow the import to complete.
5.3
Upgrades From Personal Oracle 7: Type IMP-MYDB <Enter>. You will be
prompted for the name of your database export file. Under default settings, the file was
previously exported to C:\ORAWIN95\EXPORTS and has an extension of either .DMP
or .EXP. If you answered “Yes” during Step 4.9, the file will now be contained in
C:\QTTEMP. For example, C:\QTTEMP\QTSAEXP.DMP <Enter>. If you
exported/copied to another location or to another file name, your individual settings will
vary. Make certain that this file is your most recent export. You should see
numerous errors flash on the screen before importing the tables and data. This is
acceptable, pending review of the log. Allow the import to complete. At the end of the
Relius Administration 8.0 installation, be sure to run the Service Pack to update your
database (see Section 10).
5.4
When finished, your old “rollback segments” will be dropped, giving way to the new
ones created by the Personal Oracle 8i Installation, and a utility called “reset user” will be
run. When finished, you will see a command prompt. Type EXIT <Enter>.

Installing Relius Administration 8.0
Top
Even though Relius Administration may have been previously installed, SunGard Corbel
recommends a complete reinstallation. Some Steps outlined in this Section may vary, depending
on whether your system is being upgraded from Relius Administration 7.x on Personal Oracle 7.
6.1
If not done already, remove any icons or shortcuts from the StartUp folder.
Additionally, programs that are set to launch when Windows is started can also be
specified in C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI (or C:\WINNT\WIN.INI). Please edit this file
using Notepad. Temporarily remark the entries RUN= and LOAD= by placing a semicolon (“;”) in front of the line (if programs are specified), then Save and Exit the
WIN.INI file. Example of remark:
;RUN=EXAMPLE.EXE
6.2
Be sure you have re-started the computer. Windows or other programs (especially the
previous installation process) may have locked some files that need to be overwritten
during the upgrade process.
6.3
Temporarily disable all virus protection.
6.4
Insert the “Relius Administration 8.0” CD into your CD-ROM drive. After a brief
graphic introduction, the Installation Menu should start automatically. Start by clicking
Install Relius Administration 8.0. You must run the “complete” installation the first
time on each workstation. Clicking Install Individual Component will allow users to reinstall programs that were corrupted, not installed during the main installation, or deleted.
This is for troubleshooting purposes. For more information, please contact Technology
Support.

Windows Installer, re-boot, and resume the installation. Do not remove the CD from
your CD-ROM drive.
6.8
If previously installed, older versions of MSDE will stop to be uninstalled.
6.9
If prompted, right click the SQL Server icon in your system tray (lower right corner by
the clock) and choose Exit.
106754503
Relius Admin. 8.0 New Single-UserPage 17 of Error! Bookmark not defined.
6.10

6.11
The Relius Administration 8.0 Setup “Welcome” screen appears. Please note that all
open programs need to be closed at this time. Click Next to continue.
6.12
The Select Installation Type screen appears. Since your database is a Personal
Oracle Database installed on a local hard drive, click Stand Alone.
Important note: You must choose the correct type of installation. If you choose
Workstation, Relius Administration will not launch. The only solution is to uninstall and
reinstall.
106754503
Relius Admin. 8.0 New Single-UserPage 18 of Error! Bookmark not defined.
6.13
You will be prompted to enter your Client ID. Please type in your Client ID and click
Next to continue. You must enter the correct Client ID, as this will affect your
licensing.
6.14
The Choose Destination Location screen will appear. Sungard Corbel strongly
recommends the default location, C:\Program Files\Relius\Admin. Click Next to
continue.
106754503

Installing Microsoft Components
Top
This Section covers the installation of several components provided by Microsoft. These
components are necessary for Relius Administration to run properly. Do not skip or interrupt
this Section.
7.1
MDAC will install in the background. Do not interrupt this process, as it takes
some time to finish.
7.2
Next, SQL Server 2000 will install in the background. The time it reports for completion
can be misleading. Be patient and let it continue. Do not interrupt the process, as
it takes some time to finish. In order for SQL Server 2000 to properly install, all
Windows NT/2000/XP workstations must have the “Server” service enabled and running
before beginning the installation.
106754503
Relius Admin. 8.0 New Single-UserPage 21 of Error! Bookmark not defined.

Installing Crystal Reports 8.5
8.1
The Crystal Reports Installation will start automatically.
8.2
The Crystal Reports installation will run without user intervention. The time it reports
for completion can be misleading. Do not interrupt.
8.3
Windows 98: After re-booting, Crystal Reports will need to configure. This is normal.
Do not interrupt the process. Until prompted to re-boot, do not re-boot manually.
Continue with Section 8. The system will not re-boot at this time.
8.4
Windows 2000 and Windows XP: Crystal Reports will need to configure before
rebooting. This is normal. Do not interrupt the process. Until prompted to re-boot, do
not re-boot manually. Continue with Section 8. The system will not re-boot at this
time.

Final Installation Steps
9.1
Minor configuration changes are taking place. This should take no more than 2 minutes.
Do not interrupt.
9.2
Windows 98 Users: You will be prompted to keep the CD in the CD-ROM drive
before the system re-boots the computer. Do not remove the CD. This is
essential for Crystal Reports to complete its installation. The system may take some
time to begin the re-booting process while it finishes copying Crystal Reports.
9.3
The final screen will look like the one below. Be sure “Yes, I want to restart my
computer now” is chosen and click Finish.
9.4
Your workstation will shut down all applications and restart. Do not interrupt the
process.

9.5
Once you log back on, Windows 98 will take several minutes to configure new
settings before it is ready to run. Please be patient and do not interrupt the process
or reboot. You may see the screens below. Crystal Reports is completing its
configuration. Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP workstations will log
on and launch the operating system with minimal interruption. This is normal.
9.6
After logging on, if action was taken in Section 3, restore the icons or shortcuts that were
temporarily removed from the StartUp group or folder and remove the remark from the
RUN= and LOAD= statements from WIN.INI.

Installing Service Packs
Top
The content and scope of installations and Service Packs have been enhanced with Relius
Administration 8.0. In addition to program files that have been traditionally distributed, scripts
for modifying your Oracle database structure are now included. The Service Pack will detect if
the scripts need to be run and will automatically execute them if necessary. As a system
administrator, you should be aware that required changes are now being made to your database
when applying the service pack for the first time. These modifications require that all users be
out of the Relius Administration application and, depending upon content, may take considerable
time to run. You should be certain that you have a current and restorable backup of your
database before installing the Service Pack. The Service Pack must be applied to each
workstation.
10.1
Users who have imported their Relius Administration 7.3 database must run the Service
Pack in the \Update folder on the Relius Administration 8.0 CD. Re-running the main
installation by clicking “Begin Complete Installation” on the installation will also launch
the Service Pack. Since Relius Administration 8.0 has already been installed but the
database has not been updated, you will be prompted to re-run the installation. You must
click Yes. Clicking No will cancel the installation, and Relius Administration 8.0 will not
operate properly.
10.2
Check to see if a newer Service Pack is available at the Relius Administration Support
web site at http://www.sungardcorbel.com/support/loginform.asp.
10.3
To install the Service Pack, double-click the file and follow the on-screen prompts. All
users will need to be out of the databases when running the scripts that will update the
database.
10.4
When all the scripts are completely run, the Service Pack will install and register the
updated program files. A text file may appear on your screen, describing the changes.
For future reference, the file resides in C:\Program Files\Relius\Admin, and carries the
same name as the Service Pack with a .TXT extension. More details can be obtained
from our web site.

Database Maintenance
Top
Although maintenance and integrity of data is the responsibility of the client, SunGard Corbel
has listed several items that clients should consider when maintaining their Relius
Administration systems. We have created shortcuts for starting, stopping, and exporting your
database. These shortcuts have been tested in a default environment. Other considerations such
as disk space, drive mappings, and individual settings may alter the performance of these
shortcuts. SunGard Corbel encourages rigorous testing as soon as possible.
13.1
In Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP, the database starts as a “service” within the
Operating System. In Windows 98, the database should start the first time it is “called”
(i.e., when launching Relius Administration for the first time). To manually start the
database, click Start | Programs | Relius | Admin | Start Database. You will see some
screens below that will display the progress of the database starting and mounting.
13.2
When the database has fully started, you will see an icon in the system tray (shown
below).
13.3
The database automatically stops when the Operating System shuts down. To manually
stop the database, click Start | Programs | Relius | Admin | Stop Database. You will see
some screens below that will display the progress of the database starting and mounting.
When finished, the icon in the system tray will vanish. Note: Shutting down the
database while Relius Administration is running can damage your data. Shut down
all Relius Administration programs and all related components (i.e., Crystal Report
Writer).

13.4
To export your database, click Start | Programs | Relius | Admin | Export Database. This
will launch a “DOS” window, exporting your database to a single “dump” file. By
default the file is C:\Oracle\Ora81\Exports\QTSAEXP.DMP. This file will be
overwritten each time an export is run, so you must rename the file to prevent
overwriting. SunGard Corbel urges copying this export to another form of removable
media, such as a tape backup, recordable CD, ZIP drive, etc.
13.5
Clearing Temporary and Report Tables should be conducted once a week, or more often
if heavy reporting is in progress. From the main menu of Relius Administration, click
Utilities | System Administration | Temporary Table Maintenance. You must be logged
on as the System Administrator within Relius Administration (not as a regular user).

Appendix A System Requirements
Top
Relius Administration 8.0 Single-User Personal Oracle 8i Workstation
Hardware Requirements
Complete requirements are on our web site (http://www.corbel.com/support/qt_technology.asp).
Although system requirements vary from client to client, the following is a list of basic
requirements.







Pentium III 500 or greater
256 MB RAM
9 GB Hard Drive
Minimum SVGA Video Resolution of 800 x 600 with 256 colors
Supported Operating System:
 Windows 98 Second Edition (See Note Below)
 Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 2 or greater
 Windows XP Professional or Home Edition with most recent Windows Updates
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
Windows Compatible Mouse
Free Disk Space: A minimum of 4 GB of free disk space on the C: drive is required.
Note: Installation of Personal Oracle 8i on Windows 98 is intended for existing clients
migrating from Personal Oracle 7. New clients should not install Personal Oracle 8i
on Windows 98, and existing clients should plan to migrate their Windows 98
workstation to Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP as quickly as possible.
For more information, please see the Product Lifecycle Guidelines on Microsoft’s web
site (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.asp).
Note: Windows must be installed on the local C: drive of the workstation. Operation of
Relius Administration with Windows run from a local hard drive other than C: or
run from a network drive is not supported. In all cases, Windows must be run from
C:\WINNT or C:\Windows.
Printers: Most Windows-compatible laser printers will work. SunGard Corbel highly
recommends the Hewlett Packard LaserJet Series III printers or newer. These printers are fully
supported by Windows, Novell, and most all other software available on the market. For plans
with large numbers of participants you will need to consider printer duty cycle, print speed,
turnaround times, etc. Printers that fail after Relius Administration is installed or updated may
need their drivers updated or adjusted. Check with the manufacturer of your printer to see if
there is an updated or compatible driver available for download.

Appendix B Configuring ODBC
Top
If you do not see CROR7 as an available data source when logging on to Crystal Reports, you
will need to manually create it.
B.1
Open Control Panel and double click the ODBC Data Source Administrator. The actual
name of the icon in Control Panel may vary, depending on your operating system and its
configuration. From within the ODBC Administrator, click the “System DSN” tab, and
then click Add.
B.2
Click “CR Oracle7.” Then, click Finish. Do not choose any other driver, as Relius
Administration reports are only supported on the CR Oracle 7 driver.

When finished, close the ODBC Administrator and Control Panel. If Crystal Reports is
still open, close it and re-open. Resume your configuration of Crystal Reports with step
12.5 on page 34.

Appendix C Operating System Upgrade Considerations
Top
The most successful and fully supported method of upgrading the operating system involves the
following steps:







Export Database to a location other than the local C: drive
Back up the entire system
Copy/move any pertinent data not related to Relius Administration
Format C: Drive and install new operating system (Windows 2000 Professional or XP)
Install other necessary components (e-mail, office applications, etc.), including service
packs or updates to operating system
Install Personal Oracle 8i and import database that has been copied in the first step
Install Relius Administration 8.0 and Release Updates and Service Packs
As stated in Section 2, SunGard Corbel conducted extensive testing of upgraded operating
systems to prepare for Personal Oracle 8i. While the upgrade process may appear to proceed
properly, it will not correctly configure Relius Administration in the new environment. Some
features of Relius Administration or its related components may not work on an upgraded
operating system. After installing Personal Oracle 8i and importing your database, you
must reinstall MSDE and MDAC.
C.1
Microsoft SQL Data Engine – MSDE 2000 will fail after the operating system has been
upgraded (see sample below). Windows 98 does not use “services” the same way
Windows 2000 or Windows XP do. Insert the Relius Administration 8.0 CD and click
Install Individual Component, and then click MSDE 2000.
C.2
Microsoft Data Access Components – MDAC 2.7 will be overwritten during the
upgrade of your operating system. Its failure will be evident when you try to launch
Relius Administration (see sample below). Insert the Relius Administration 8.0 CD
and click Install Individual Component, and then click MDAC 2.7.
