The default locations for the physical databases are:
<drive>:\Program Files\Epicor Software\Epicor904\db
I think in order for Epicor to get some level of Microsoft "compliance",
they have to install the software under Program Files but you can move your
databases somewhere else.
I don't know what to say if you don't have a Databases node in PET however.
I did the Automatic Install though. Having OpenEdge on my mirrored C: drive
didn't bother me but I did want my databases to be on my RAID10 drive. I
just restored my production db to a folder on the our D: drive, updated the
..pf file and the database location in PET and was good to go.
I am trying to install Epicor 9 on a fresh new server that meets the
HW specs (64Bit Windows 2003, 64GB Ram) (No IIS). I want to install on
the D drive so I don't use the Open Edge Typical/Automatic Install I use
the Advanced/Manual. I get all the way to 'convert your data' with no
issues. I then stop because I want to test the existing train DB's for
functionality.
The problem is when I go to the Progress Explorer I don't have a
Database Folder? I have the Appservers and all the database Appservers
are running but I don't see any databases.
If I try to run the trainingclient (From the Server) I get to the login
screen, but when I login as manager I get this error 'There is no server
for database (1423)'.
If I try to run the trainingclient (From the TestWorkstation) I get to
the login screen, but when I login as manager I get this error 'Could
not connect to AppServer, Target machine actively refused it'.
I follow the Epicor 9 Installation Guide to the letter and get the same
result every time. Any ideas?
Here is a summary of my steps:
1. Install .Net 3.0 and WS 3.0 RunTime
2. Install Crystal Runtime
3. Install Progress Open Edge 10.1C to D Drive -
(Advanced/Manual) - No Web Services or Sonic ESB
a. Lic - OE Application SVR, Client Networking, Query/Results
4. Install OE SP2 (101CSP2.EXE)
5. Share the Epicor904 Folder and verify permission (Share + NTFS)
6. Share the EpicorData Folder and verify permission (Share)
(NTFS Permissions not defined in installation manual)
7. Install Epicor 9 Server Software (OE 32-bit Windows)
8. Verify Epic904\Client , Epic904\ClientServer and Epic904\Server
folders are not read only
9. Install Epicor Service Pack (SP904503-P.exe) no Patches at this
time
10. Install Epicor9 Help (Help904503.exe)
11. Install Epicor Admin Console
12. Install Client (On Test Work Station)
13. Update Server Parameter File Settings (-BT65536) on all .pf's
15. No Service Connect, No Epicor Portal, No Embedded Ed Course
16. STOPPED HERE - Looked in progress Explorer and don't see any
databases, not even the database folder. But do see the Appservers
17. Convert Your Data
