Server-side installation of Headstart

Question

We've got a live database (8.1.5) with Headstart (2.1.2) installed, all the application's objects, forms, code libraries have been generated using Headstart.
I've created a test database, generated my applications tables from the original repository there, and I want to run my existing live Headstart forms against the test database but I'm unsure about the Headstart server-side installation.
From the installation guide, I can see that I need to run insthst.sql and hstuseri.grt, but I haven't yet got a Headstart Template Package owner. I know that in the live application, the Headstart Template Package owner is the owner of the Headstart objects.
I'd like to know if I create a Headstart Template Package owner in my test database, do I then run insthst.sql and hstuseri.grt, and is there anything else I need to do.
Thanks,
John.

In your test database, you need to have all of the Headstart runtime objects. There are a couple of options for how
to do this. These are described in the User Guide Chapter 8, Runtime Environment.
You will use insthst.sql to create the objects.
If you use a separate Headstart schema, then you can use hstuseri.grt to create the required grants and synonyms
from your application owner schema to the Headstart schema.
Depending on how your users log onto the application, they will also need access to the Headstart objects.
