- Ensure that your user login provides access to your DB2 or Oracle database commands.
- Complete additional tasks specific to your operating system.
Attention: While installing IBM BPM on Windows Server 2003 or Windows 7 (English) and switching the locale to Czech in the IBM Process Portal Preference -> Interface language the text displays with corrupted characters on several panels of the IBM Process Designer. The text displays with corrupted characters even if IBM Process Designer is started with the Czech locale.
