If you already have an installation of Serena Release Automation that you plan to use with Serena Release Manager, you do not need to install a new system. However, you do need to do the following:
Ensure that you are running a supported version of Serena Release Automation as indicated in the Serena Release Manager Readme.
Ensure that the supported database you are using for your Serena Release Automation system is open for remote access according to the database system documentation.
Supported database systems include MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle.
After installing the rest of the products in the suite, follow the post-installation system configuration instructions for Serena Release Automation.
If you plan to use ChangeMan ZMF as one of your release vaults, please continue to Installing Other Integrating Serena Products. Otherwise, please continue to System Activation and Configuration.
