FlexDeploy System Requirements

Database Tier Requirements

FlexDeploy requires one of the following databases to be installed and running.

• Oracle XE, version 11.2
• Oracle Standard, version 11.2
• Oracle Enterprise, version 11.2
• Oracle Standard, version 12.1
• Oracle Enterprise, version 12.1

Application Tier 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 Repository

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.

• Due to the importance of the artifact repository, this file system should be backed up regularly.
• Availability of space within the Artifact Repository is critical to the creation of new build versions. It is highly recommended to have a file system size monitor in place for this directory, and size should be adjusted based on the number of builds created, and the size of the artifacts produced. In addition, it is recommended that this be a separate mount point.

Application Server

FlexDeploy is Java web-based application, you can setup either WebLogic or Tomcat to install FlexDeploy.

WebLogic

• 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

• Tomcat 8+ (Tomcat 8.5.x was rigorously tested, and therefore, recommended)
• 8GB of RAM
• 1 CPU
• JDK 1.8 (Use latest patch for JDK 1.8)

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.

Requirements

• JDK version 1.6 or higher
• Disk space on each endpoint of 4GB. There is no need to monitor this file system as FlexDeploy will automatically perform cleanup.

• Operating Systems

  • Microsoft Windows
  • Unix/Linux (and its variants, such as OEL, RedHat, Solaris, AIX, etc.)
