Before you install
StarTeam Server:
-
Make sure your computer system meets the minimum requirements. See the
System Requirements section.
-
You must be a local administrator on the target computer to install
StarTeam Server and other
StarTeam products. Also, the local settings for the administrator account performing the install must be stored on the target computer.
StarTeam Server and
StarTeam clients will not operate correctly if the local settings are stored on a network drive.
-
You must set video settings on the computer on which you install
StarTeam Server to 256 colors or higher.
-
Unless you plan to use only
PostgreSQL, which is the default database for server configurations, you must install the database management system you plan to use
with
StarTeam Server. It is normal to install the database server on another computer. Make sure your computer system meets the minimum requirements
for the database product. Refer to the documentation supplied with your database management system for more information. See
Database Server System Requirements for more information about supported databases.
Note: There should be a dedicated connection between the computers running
StarTeam Server and the database management system. For optimal performance, both computers should be on the same physical switch.
-
Install the database client on the same computer as
StarTeam Server.
-
Because
StarTeam Server can be used with any UTF-8 character set, the code page settings for the databases can be very important. Information about
this can be found in the chapter on creating a server configuration for your database type:
