When setting up Lucity the Lucity Server should only be installed in one location *. This installation should take place at a workstation connected to the server rather than at the server itself (except in the case of a completely local server install). Installation instructions may vary slightly depending on which database being used (SQL Server or Oracle). It is recommended to close all Windows applications before installing the Lucity software suite.
* When setting up a dedicated Testing environment it is necessary and ok to install another copy of Lucity Server.
Database Setup
SQL Server Users:
Note: The GBAComm and GBAUser backups must be restored, as well as the databases for any other products the agency owns.
Note: SQL Server Authentication MUST be enabled.
Oracle Users:
Create a Lucity "Share"
Prior to running the Server Installation, a new directory needs to be created on the file server. This folder will contain connection information, reports, and other shared objects that Lucity workstations will use to connect to the databases.
Note: All machines that will have a Lucity product installed must have access to this folder.
Note: After the Server/Database install this folder will contain a Config folder. The location of that folder will be required by all other Lucity installations.
This shared folder will be used when performing subsequent installs. Lucity recommends using UNC pathing. While we do support accessing this folder as a Mapped Drive Letter, every user that accesses Lucity must have the same Drive mapped on their machine.
Install Lucity Server
Note: It is highly suggested to run the Server installation/upgrade directly on a desktop machine. This ensures that the paths used during the installation/configuration are valid network paths.
