FlexDeploy System Requirements
Database Tier Requirements
Supported Platforms
- Microsoft Windows
- Unix/Linux (and its variants, such as OEL, RedHat, Solaris, AIX, etc.)
Supported Databases
FlexDeploy requires one of the following databases to be installed and running.
- Postgre 11 - PostgreSQL install guide
- MySQL 8 - MySQL install guide
- Oracle XE, version 11.2 - Oracle install guide
- Oracle Standard, version 11.2 - Oracle install guide
- Oracle Enterprise, version 11.2- Oracle install guide
- Oracle Standard, version 12.1- Oracle install guide
- Oracle Enterprise, version 12.1- Oracle install guide
Requirements
- 4-8GB of RAM for the system. Less if using Docker to host the database. If combined on the same host as the application server, 8 gb should be sufficient for the database and Tomcat
- 1 or 2 CPU
- At least 20GB of available space, may need additional space based on purge criteria and usage.
Application Tier Requirements
Supported Platforms
- Unix/Linux (and its variants, such as OEL, RedHat, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX etc.)
- Microsoft Windows
Supported Application Servers and Requirements
FlexDeploy is a Java web-based application which runs on the following application servers:
- WebLogic 12.1.3 (license is not included with your FlexDeploy subscription)
- WebLogic 12.1.3 including JRF (ADF Runtime) 12.1.3 (See WebLogic 12.1.3 Installation Scripts for installation and configuration of WebLogic 12.1.3 domain)
- 8GB of RAM
- 1 CPU
- JDK 1.7.0+ (Use latest patch for JDK 1.7, for additional certifications, see 12.1.3 Certification Matrix)
- Tomcat 8+
- Tomcat 8+ (Tomcat 8.5.x was rigorously tested, and therefore, recommended). If you follow Installing FlexDeploy with included Tomcat, you do not have to separately install Tomcat.
- 8GB of RAM
- 1 CPU
- JDK - refer to http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html for selecting. Tomcat 8.5.x was tested with JDK 1.7_67, 1.8_60 and 1.8_101.
- When using Mysql database, JDK 8 is required.
Disk Requirements
Working Directory
FlexDeploy uses a working directory for temporary files to be transferred between the server and its endpoints. This directory needs to have at least 4GB of space available on the FlexDeploy Server.
- As this file system contains only temporary files, there is no reason to backup this directory.
- Availability of space within the server working directory is critical to functioning of the FlexDeploy platform. Therefore, the filesystem should be monitored and space should be allocated as necessary. In addition, it is recommended that this be a separate mount point.
- Files in this directory which are older than one day will be purged automatically to help effectively manage the size.
Artifact Directory
The FlexDeploy artifact repository is a directory available on the FlexDeploy server where all build artifacts are stored, and later retrieved for the deployments. This directory needs to have at least 10GB of space available on the FlexDeploy Server.

Source Control Requirements
FlexDeploy provides out of the box integration with the following Source Control Management Systems.
- Subversion
- Git
- Microsoft TFS
Perforce
CVS
IBM ClearCase UCM
- PVCS
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
The Git executable must be installed on the FlexDeploy server & build endpoints, and it must be accessible in its PATH. The Git executable version must be 1.7.9 or higher. |
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
For IBM ClearCase, you must copy libraries from your ClearCase server into the the application server lib folder. Detailed instructions can be found under the sections for the specific target application server platform. |
Endpoint Requirements
An Endpoint is a target server where FlexDeploy can perform build or deploy activities. Endpoints are configured within the FlexDeploy UI. See following requirements for each Endpoint.
Supported Platforms
- Microsoft Windows. For Windows endpoint, CygWin must be installed on target server - see FlexDeploy Cygwin Install Guide.
- Unix/Linux (and its variants, such as OEL, RedHat, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX etc.)
Requirements
...
- There is no need to monitor this file system as FlexDeploy will automatically perform cleanup.
- Local disk storage is preferable, but a shared file system can be used.
- As this file system contains only temporary files, there is no reason to backup this directory.
- Files in the working directory are transient in nature and will be purged by FlexDeploy after one day. The actual size of the directory will depend on the number of projects and deployments, but 1GB is a good starting point.
