Before you begin

  • Review all system requirements thoroughly
  • Have a database installed, running, and configured to connect with Zephyr Enterprise Data Center
    • If this is not done, please proceed here to begin database setup
  • Ensure you have the correct Data Center license file (license.lic) as this will be required during the installation process
    • If you do not have this license file, please contact your Zephyr Account Manager or send an email to sales@getzephyr.com
  • Ensure timezone setting for all nodes are uniform
  • Download and install required software
    • Java JDK 8u101 or higher
  • Download Zephyr Enterprise Data Center 5.0 Windows Software:

Installing Java

Follow Oracle's install instructions linked here. Once installation is complete, set the environment variables and continue to installing Zephyr Enterprise section below

Installing Zephyr Enterprise Data Center using GUI

Step 1:
For the first node installation (NODE 1), run the installer as normal.

For all subsequent nodes, run the installer from the command line using the option to skip database modification, ie:

zephyr_5.0_*.sh -VzSkipZephyrSeverStart=true -VzSkipStartupData=true -VzSkipDropData=true

Once the setup file has been launched, the following Welcome screen will display automatically



Step 2: A quick reminder on the /wiki/spaces/ZEE50/pages/77725729 needed to install and run Zephyr successfully 



 
Step 3: You will be prompted with the full EULA which will require acceptance of the terms stated before continuing



 
Step 4: After accepting the EULA, you will be prompted to enter the Zephyr Enterprise home directory. You will be notified of the required and available disk space



Step 5: Select the Data Center deployment option



Step 6: This step will prompt you to enter the directory location of your license file provided by Zephyr Sales. You can browse your system directory if you do not know the direct path



Step 7: This step allows the customization of the ports used by Zephyr. The default suggested ports are already provided, however you can customize the port usage by entering in your own custom port number for each
 


 
Step 8: This step allows you to customize the MySQL parameters needed by Zephyr. The character set is UFT8 by default and cannot be changed. You will need to enter the URL for your MySQL database and the directory location of the JDBC driver. Use the 'Test Connection' button and verify a success before continuing



A successful connection test will return this dialog box


Step 10: Files are now copied and various services are started
 

 
Step 11: At the end of that process, the Zephyr server installation is complete and allows for the Zephyr Enterprise login page to be immediately launched


  
Note: Depending on the speed of the machine, it may take a few minutes for the login dialog to appear when launching Zephyr for the first time. This is to allow all services to start up correctly. Subsequent launches will be much faster.
