  After you deploy Unica Campaign, you must verify that the Unica Campaign listener is running, set up the Unica Campaign system user, set Unica Campaign configuration properties, and verify the Unica Campaign installation.
- Configuring multiple partitions for Unica Campaign
  In the Unica family of products, partitions provide a way to secure the data that is associated with different groups of users. When you configure Unica Campaign or a related Unica application to operate with multiple partitions, users can see each partition as a separate instance of the application. There is no indication that other partitions exist on the same computer.

- Unica Unica Platform utilities
  This section provides an overview of the Unica Platform utilities, including some details that apply to all the utilities and which are not included in the individual utility descriptions.
- Uninstalling Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize
  Run the Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize uninstaller to uninstall Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize. When you run the uninstaller, the files that were created during the installation process are removed. For example, files such as configuration files, installer registry information, and user data are removed from the computer.
- Unica Campaign web application clustering
  You can configure the Unica Campaign web application (J2EE application) in a cluster by completing additional tasks during the Unica Campaign installation.
- Installing a clustered listener environment
  Follow these instructions if you want to install a clustered listener configuration. A listener cluster is a set of two or more listeners that act as a unit to provide load balancing and high availability. Unica Campaign listener clusters are Active-Active; meaning each node serves requests using the load-balanced approach. Each Unica Campaign listener provides an interface between front-end clients (such as the Unica Campaign web application) and back-end analytical server processes.

How the installers work

You must use the suite installer and the product installer when you install or upgrade any Unica product. For example, for installing Unica Campaign and Unica Optimize, you must use the Unica suite installer and the Unica Campaign installer.

Make sure that you use the following guidelines before you use the Unica suite installer and the product installer:

The Unica installer and the product installer must be in the same directory on the computer where you want to install the product. When multiple versions of a product installer are present in the directory with the Unica installer, the Unica installer always shows the latest version of the product on the Unica Products screen in the installation wizard.
If you are planning to install a patch immediately after you install an Unica product, make sure that the patch installer is in the same directory as that of the suite and product installers.
The default top-level directory for Unica installations is /HCL/Unica for UNIX™ or C:\HCL\Unica for Windows™. However, you can change the directory during installation.
