server Version 5.4.0 (or later) is configured. v Tivoli Storage Manager API Version 5.5.0 (or later) is installed. The required version of the Tivoli Storage Manager API is included in the Data Protection for Oracle product media. v Determine the appropriate Data Protection for Oracle bit size to use by identifying the bit size of your Oracle target database. For example, if you are using a 32-bit Oracle target database, you must use a 32-bit version of Data Protection for Oracle. If you are using a 64-bit Oracle target database, you must use a 64-bit version of Data Protection for Oracle. The Data Protection for Oracle bit size is not determined by the bit size of your operating system. v Any previous version of Data Protection for Oracle or the Tivoli Storage Manager API must be uninstalled before installing a new or updated version. If you are installing a PTF version of Data Protection for Oracle, do not remove the license file from the previous version. The PTF driver does not contain a license. v A user with administrative authority must install Data Protection for Oracle on a Windows server where the target database resides. v If Data Protection for Oracle was not previously installed on your system, you can install Data Protection for Oracle into the Tivoli Storage Manager base directory of your choice. Data Protection for Oracle 32-bit installs to the \AgentOBA directory and Data Protection for Oracle 64-bit installs to the \AgentOBA64 directory under this base default directory: c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\ Installing all Tivoli Storage Manager products and components into the same base directory is highly recommended. The installation process does not overwrite the existing dsm.opt (options file), tdpo.opt (configuration file), or log files. v If a prior version of Data Protection for Oracle exists on your system, Data Protection for Oracle 5.5.1 will replace it in the same directory. v If Data Protection for Oracle 5.5.1 was previously installed, the Program Maintenance dialog prompts you to Repair the program if files are missing or corrupt, or to Remove the existing version from your computer.
