Installation and Environment Considerations
2.1
Most Important: Upgrade vs. New Installation
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 systems before installing the Operating
System, as a newly installed Operating System may cause the database engine to
fail.
2.2
Program File Location
Personal Oracle 8 must be installed to the local C: drive in the \Oracle\Ora81 directory.
Additionally, Relius Administration 7.0 installs program files to C:\Program
Files\Relius\Administration. SunGard Corbel strongly recommends using the defaults.
Relius Administration cannot be installed to a network.
2.3
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 7.0 SETUP.EXE from a CDROM accessed by browsing with Network Neighborhood will fail.
533584031

2.4
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.
2.5
Software fixes and documents via Internet
Fixes and support files are distributed via the web at ftp://ftp.sungardcorbel.com. Users
must have Internet capability to receive these fixes. Visit our web site and click
“subscribe” (http://www.sungardcorbel.com/support/subscribe.asp) to receive
notification of new fixes by e-mail. SunGard Corbel does not send patches and updates
through the mail, and we strongly urge all users to subscribe to this service. Updated
documents can be obtained at ftp://ftp.sungardcorbel.com/administration/ra70/docs.
2.6
Virus Scanners
Some virus scanners are incompatible with the installation program. If these programs
are active, they can interfere with successful installation. Symptoms include an error
message stating that a file cannot be overwritten (such as RICHED20.DLL or
RICHED32.DLL). Disable them by right clicking on the icons (in the system tray on the
right side of the taskbar) and choosing Exit before starting the installer. Virus Scanning
Services may need to be temporarily stopped and set to manual as well.
2.7
Windows 2000 Professional Considerations
Responsibility for support of problems and issues related to Relius Administration 7.0
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 7.0 will install or operate properly on any given
locked-down security configuration. Relius Administration 7.0 is certified and supported
only when run on the default Windows 2000 security settings.
The Windows 2000 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.

Windows 98 Second Edition (See Step 2.9, below)

Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 2 or greater

Windows XP Professional or Home Edition

2.9
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 upgrade 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

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
The installer installs many of its support files in the “System” directory, normally
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.
3.5
The installation process takes approximately 1 to 2 hours to complete.
3.6
Review the system requirements located in Appendix A. 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:
;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
Note: This installation uses two CDs. The first CD is the “Relius Administration 7.0
Personal Oracle 8” CD, used for creating the Oracle database structure. The second CD
is the “Relius Administration 7.0” 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 7.0 Personal Oracle 8” CD into your CD-ROM
drive.
4.2
From the Windows desktop, click on Start, then Run and type D:\Setup in the command
box, substituting D: 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.

Page 8 of 35
4.10
If Personal Oracle 7 already exists, you will be prompted to archive your
ORAWIN95\DATABASE directory to a Zip file in QTTEMP. Click Yes. This step
takes quite some time, depending on the amount of data in your database, but it is
strongly encouraged.
4.11
If Personal Oracle 7 already exists, a “DOS” window will appear, stopping the MSDTC
service. This is required before deleting the ORAWIN95 directory. When it is finished,
it will close automatically and begin deleting the ORAWIN95 directory.

Page 12 of 35
5
Importing Your Database
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 9.3. If upgrading from Personal Oracle 7, ignore Step 9.2.
5.1
Open a Windows Command Prompt.
5.2
New Installations: Type IMP708ALL <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 4.8, 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.
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 7.0
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 7.0” CD into your CD-ROM drive. After a brief
graphic introduction, the Installation Menu should start automatically. Start by clicking
Begin Complete Installation. 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.
533584031

6.5
If the Installation menu does not start, click Start, then Run and type D:\Setup,
substituting D: with the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive, then click OK.
6.6
If your video resolution is less than 800 x 600, you will receive the message shown
below. The installation can continue, but you will need to adjust your resolution before
launching Relius Administration.
6.7
Some systems may need an upgraded version of Windows Installer before continuing.
Click OK as prompted and do not interrupt the process. The system will re-boot when
finished and resume the installation. Do not remove the CD from your CD-ROM
drive.
533584031

be placed in a folder other than the default, Relius. Keep the default or select the
Program Folder in which you would like the icons to appear and click Next to continue.
(For the convenience of many users, icons will also be copied to the main “start” menu
and the desktop.)
6.13
The installation will then copy and register the new Relius Administration 7.0 files.

Installing MDAC, SQL Server 2000, and XML Parser
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. You may be asked to reinstall some components that may have been previously
installed. Because systems will vary, SunGard Corbel recommends answering “Yes” if
prompted to reinstall.
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.
533584031
Relius Admin. 7.0 New Single-User
Page 20 of 35
7.3
You may see the screen below (or one similar to it), informing you that a particular
component has already been installed. There is usually no harm in reinstalling, but it is
not necessary.
7.4
You may see the screen below for a few seconds. The Setup program for XML Parser is
running. Do not interrupt.
533584031

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.
533584031

Final Installation Steps
9.1
You will be prompted to keep the CD in the CD-ROM drive before the system reboots 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 rebooting process while it finishes copying Crystal Reports.
9.2
The final screen will look like the one below. Be sure “Yes, I want to restart my
computer now” is chosen and click Finish. Your workstation will shut down all
applications and restart. Do not interrupt the process.
533584031
Relius Admin. 7.0 New Single-User
Page 23 of 35
9.3
Windows 98: Once you log back on, the operating system 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 screen below. Crystal Reports is completing its configuration.
Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP workstations will log on
and launch the operating system without interruption. This is normal.
9.4
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.
Attention Windows 98 Users!
9.5
After completing the above steps you must open a Command Prompt (MS-DOS prompt)
and type 98DBFIX <Enter>. This step is only required on Windows 98 workstations. If
you do not run this step, your database will fail to start.

Installing Service Packs and Release Updates
The content and scope of Service Pack releases has been enhanced with Relius Administration
7.0. 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.
Your database must be started to apply the Service Pack. If the database instance is not running,
execution of the Service Pack should invoke the database instance to start. If your database does
not automatically start, please start it manually by clicking Start | Programs | Relius |
Administration | Start Database.
10.1
The most recent Releases and Service Packs are available at the SunGard Corbel FTP site
at ftp://ftp.sungardcorbel.com/Administration/RA70/.
10.2
To install the Release or 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.
10.3
When all the scripts are completely run, the Release or 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
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
Relius Administration 7.0 Single-User Personal Oracle 8i Workstation
Hardware Requirements
Although system requirements vary from client to client, the following is a list of basic
requirements. Your requirements may change based on the number of participants accessing
your Web Server, Internet connection speed, security, safety, etc.







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 upgrade 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.

Appendix B Configuring ODBC
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.

Under “Data Source Name,” type CROR7. Under “Server Name,” type QTO. Click OK.
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
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 7.0 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 7.0 CD and click
Install Individual Component, and then click MSDE 2000.
C.2
Microsoft Data Access Components – MDAC 2.6 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 7.0 CD
and click Install Individual Component, and then click MDAC 2.6 SP1.
