The Kablink Teaming Installation program provides two installation types: Basic and Advanced. When you perform a Basic installation, the result is a fully functional Teaming site with all required options configured and with typical defaults in use for optional settings. This section helps you make informed decisions about the basic required options:
Server platform (Linux or Windows)
Server architecture (32-bit or 64-bit)
Physical server memory requirements
File locations (Teaming software and data)
Java Development Kit (JDK) version (Sun or IBM)
Database type (MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle)
Database creation (during installation or before installation)
Database authentication (username and password)
Network information (Teaming server hostname and ports)
Outbound e-mail configuration (SMTP vs. SMTPS, hostname, SMTP port, time zone, authentication)
Inbound e-mail configuration (SMTP address, SMTP port, and TLS support)
User and group for running the Teaming software (Linux only)
If you are new to Teaming, the easiest way to get started is to perform a Basic installation first, with all Teaming components installed on the same server, then add advanced configuration options to your Teaming site after the Basic installation has been successfully tested. However, experienced Teaming administrators can choose to perform an Advanced installation immediately, which includes all installation and configuration options, as described in Section II, Advanced Installation and Reconfiguration.
IMPORTANT:The following Teaming configurations require that you perform an Advanced installation as your initial installation of the Teaming software:
Setting up the Teaming file repository so that some types of files are located outside the Teaming file repository root directory. See Section 8.2, Distributing Different Data Types to Different Locations for Advanced installation instructions. You cannot move subdirectories within the Teaming file repository after they have been created.
If you want to implement an Advanced installation option, you should perform a Basic installation first, in a test environment, before performing the Advanced installation to set up your permanent Teaming site.
