Preparing for Installation

This section covers the following topics:

 

Installation Overview

The Administration Server runs in an application server host (WebLogic Server, Apache Tomcat, or Websphere) and provides several administrative utilities, including the Administration Console, the Entitlements Administration Application, a Service Control Manager, a Security Service Module, and the Business Logic Manager (BLM).

The major tasks involved in installing the Administration Server are:

  1. Installing the application server (not covered in this document).
  2. Installing and configuring the database server (see appendixes for database specific information).
  3. Installing the Administration Server.

 

Requirements

Note: The Administration Server must have a static IP address. The IP address is used by the Security Service Modules and Service Control Manager for connectivity.
