| UID |
The user ID which should
be used to create PPT administrator.
IMPORTANT:
During installation
care has to be taken that UID for PPT administrator should be same
on both the cluster nodes. For this reason the UID will be accepted
from user during installation. This UID will be used to create PPT
administrator user. If the UID is already assigned to some other
user a dialog will pop-up and user will be asked to enter a different
UID. If PPT administrator already exists on the node then the UID
will be displayed automatically on the screen. While doing installation
on second node the user is supposed to enter the same UID during
installation. If PPT administrator already exists then, PPT administrator
will have to be deleted and again created using the new UID provided
during installation.

If you specify a port
number other than the default port then all client applications,
including PSQL must specify the same port for communication.
 CAUTION:
If PPT and ASR5k Web
Element Manager (WEM) are co-located on single hardware platform,
then ensure that ASR5k WEM is installed before PPT and PostgreSQL
component of PPT is not listening on port 5432. As this port is
reserved for ASR5k WEM.
