This section contains information you need to know before installing System Console 3.1.1, the location of the installation instructions, and the credentials with which to log in to System Console 3.1.1 after it is installed.
Specifying the installation user account
To ensure that file permissions are set correctly, you must install System Console 3.1.1 using the same user account that was used to install your existing System Console.
Specifying the Windows service user
If you want System Console to run as Windows services, you must specify the same service user that was specified when your existing System Console was installed. This approach ensures that the System Console 3.1.1 processes have the correct access permissions on files that your existing System Console created. For information about how to obtain the name of the service user, see How to find the name of a service user.
Setting the installation root folder
Your existing System Console configuration contains absolute paths. System Console 3.1.1 must use the same paths. To ensure that these paths are the same, you must install System Console 3.1.1 using exactly the same installation root folder that your existing System Console installation uses. For example, if your existing System Console was installed in C:\Actuate\SystemConsole, you must install System Console 3.1.1 in C:\Actuate\SystemConsole. If your existing System Console was installed in C:\Actuate3\SystemConsole, you must install System Console 3.1.1 in C:\Actuate3\SystemConsole.
When the installation program finishes, System Console 3.1.1 starts automatically.
To verify that System Console 3.1.1 installed correctly, log in to System Console using the following default system administrator credentials:
Username: sysadmin
Password: system11
Do not change any System Console configuration settings or define a cluster because you need to copy configuration and database files first, as described in the next section, Copying configuration and database files.
Username: sysadmin
