Installing UNIFYBroker/Plus
Overview
Installation of UNIFYBroker/Plus is as easy and simple as running the UNIFYBroker Plus.msi installer package. This installer contains everything required for an installation of UNIFYBroker/Plus with the exception of UNIFYBroker itself, which must be installed separately.
Installing UNIFYBroker/Plus
Installation from the desktop
To begin installation, locate and run the UNIFYBroker Plus.msi installation package from either Windows Explorer or through command prompt.
The title screen of the installation wizard will be shown.
Read and accept the UNIFY Software License Agreement.
Select either a Standard installation for both service and web files, or IIS installation for web files only.
Configure database settings. If you wish for the installer to attempt to add UNIFYBroker/Plus database components to an existing Identity Broker database, select the Attempt upgrade option and enter the required details - the location and name of the SQL server instance and the name of the database to update. If you wish to update the database manually, select the Manual Install option and see Manually Upgrading the UNIFYBroker/Plus Database.
Select the installation location of UNIFYBroker. The default installation directory is:
C:\Program Files\UNIFY Solutions\Identity Broker\
Begin the installation when ready.
A progress bar will appear showing the progress of the installation. Wait until the installation process is complete.
The installation has completed successfully. Click finish to close the installation window.
UNIFYBroker/Plus has now been installed. Restart the UNIFYBroker service now.

Alternatively, to perform a database upgrade during installation:
