You must use a new database and not an existing database that was created for an older version of the data modeling tool. For more information on database versions, refer to the System Requirements topic.
Applications: Includes a web-based component named erwin Mart Portal that helps you manage the Mart through a web console.
Web server: Hosts erwin Mart Portal. You can use a web server of your choice. If you have not installed a web server, use the erwin Mart Portal option and install Tomcat.
