DBMS Requirements

Before you install erwin Data Modeler to use a MartServer in a workgroup environment, ensure that you are using a supported DBMS as your host server. This release supports the following host DBMSs:

• Oracle 10g and 11g/12c or the certified version 12c R2
• Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016, 2016 SP1
• PostgreSQL through release 9.6.2, certified on PostgreSQL 9.6.5
• SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15.0 through 15.7 and SAP ASE 16, or the certified version, SAP ASE 16 SP02

To create, update, or delete a mart in erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition, you must have the following database rights:

• For Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016, and 2016 SP1 you must be the database owner (dbo).

  Notes:

  The dbo is no longer required to have the sysadmin role.

  The SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016, and 2016 SP1 TRUSTWORTHY database property is no longer required for the mart. After you install this product, you can optionally reset this property to OFF.

• For Oracle, you must be the database schema owner and have the DBA role.

Before you install Mart on the server, verify that the DBMS environment is prepared for the installation, and that the server system requirements meet at least the minimum specifications. At least one user with administrative privileges is available on the DBMS.

Note: The dbo role for Microsoft SQL Server or SAP ASE is necessary only during the installation or upgrade. You can strip the installer of the dbo role after the installation or upgrade is complete.

For more information about preparing the DBMS environment, see the erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition Implementation and Administration Guide.
