Installation Prerequisites

Before you run the AquaLogic Ensemble installer, complete the following steps:

  1. Download the most up-to-date documentation from edocs.bea.com.
  2. Read the release notes for additional information on compatibility issues, known problems, and workarounds that might affect how you proceed with your deployment. Release notes are located at the top-level directory of the product package.
  3. Plan your deployment. For installation in a production environment, determining the number of machines and how to distribute the components of Ensemble across the machines can be complicated. The BEA Business Interaction Division Services or your BEA integration partner can assist you in this process.
  4. Provision host machines and configure software dependencies for your deployment. For details on hardware and software requirements, see Hardware and Software Requirements.
