When using a Windows operating system, the Administrator user account must always be used to run the setup. To do so, run the installation program as an administrator (pop-up menu item Run as administrator). Other user accounts do not work, even if they were assigned administrator privileges.
Installations on integrated network drives and on substituted drives are not supported.
In an installation of a distributed PPM environment (master-sub-server scenario), sub-server and master server can run on different database instances. For this to work, all instances must use the same database version.
The Windows operating system offers only 5000 ports for TCP/RMI connections. This number may not be sufficient for error-free communication if the system is too busy. To change the parameter, the Windows registry must be adapted. Add the following entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, "MaxUserPort"=dword:00002000. This example increases the number of available ports to 8192.
PPM currently supports side-by-side installation only. If you have an older PPM version installed on your host on which you want to install the new PPM version, you must first stop all running PPM infrastructure components and PPM instances.
