1 Installation Prerequisites

This chapter describes the basic steps you must complete to prepare your network and host computers for deployment:

  1. Read the product release notes for information on compatibility issues, known problems, and workarounds that might affect how you proceed with your deployment.

  2. Provision host computers for your deployment and install prerequisite software. For details, see Hardware and Software Requirements.

Hardware and Software Requirements

For the latest information on supported operating systems, application servers, databases, and browsers, see the Oracle WebCenter Interaction page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/webcenter-interaction/index.html, open the Oracle WebCenter Interaction 10g Release 4 Certification Matrix spreadsheet, and refer to the WebCenter Analytics 10.3.0.2 worksheet.

For more information on recommended configurations based on the size of your implementation, see the section about provisioning computers in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Deployment Planning Guide for Oracle WebCenter Interaction.

Hardware Requirements

This section lists the hardware requirements for an Oracle WebCenter Analytics deployment.

  • Oracle WebCenter Analytics Host Computer

    • 1.6 GHz^, with 2MB L2 cache

    • 1 GB memory

    • 2 GB disk space

  • Database Server Host Computer

    • Dual 2.0 GHz^, with 2 MB L2 cache

    • 2 GB memory^

    • Mirrored SCSI drives (either 15K or 10K RPM)

    • Disk space to accommodate growth of the Oracle WebCenter Analytics database. Growth is directly correlated to the number of events occurring. Events include such things as page views, portlet views, user logins, and discussion posts. Estimate 100 MB of growth per 1 million events. For example, if your portal receives roughly 1 million events per day, you should anticipate growth of 36.5 GB per year.
