WhereScape RED is designed to build data warehouse analysis areas within a database environment. The installation and configuration process are very rarely a simple task as it involve several layered products external to WhereScape RED. For the more complex cases, several hours or days should be set aside to complete this task.
Therefore, the reader must begin the installation process with the correct expectations. Highlighted below are the major steps in the installation and setup of WhereScape RED. In many environments, some of these steps will have been completed independently of the installation process or may need to be completed by a third party.
