Application Server requires a local copy of HADB, Java DB, and Message Queue. Application Server and HADB must be on the same host so you can use the integrated management tools provided by Application Server. The Load Balancing Plugin subcomponent of Application Server requires a web server.
The general tasks include:
Installing the Java ES product components
Starting the servers
Configuring HADB
Configuring load balancing
You can use the following guidelines to install all product components on a node or zone. On subsequent nodes, install the product components required by your deployment. A minimum of two installation sessions are required.
The following high-level tasks are required:
Checking the installation sequence guidelines
Check to see what sequence guidelines apply. Refer to Table 2–1.
Checking the installation prerequisites
Check to see what installation prerequisites apply. Refer to Table 1–3.
Verifying that the hardware is connected correctly for your cluster
