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:
In the Lucity install media under Database\SQL Server\Clean locate the clean SQL Server database backups.
Using SQL Management Studio restore the backups into the SQL Server.
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:
In the Lucity install media under Database\Oracle\Clean locate the clean Oracle .dmp file.
Restore the .dmp file and run the accompanying script.
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.
Create the folder on the file server. All machines that will have a Lucity product installed must have access to this folder.
Name the folder LUCITY_APPS, or something similar.
All users that need to access Lucity must have the following permissions for the folder: Modify, Read & Execute, Read, Write.
Share the directory
All users that need to access Lucity must have the Change and Read permissions to the share.
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.
