Complete the following basic steps to prepare your network and host computers for deployment:
Read the product release notes for information on compatibility issues, known problems, and workarounds that might affect how you proceed with your deployment.
Print the configuration worksheets provided in the Oracle WebCenter Analytics Configuration Worksheets document in the Oracle WebCenter Analytics 10g Release 3 (10.3.0.1) documentation set.
Determine the values you have assigned for this deployment, and record these values in the Oracle WebCenter Analytics Configuration Worksheets document.
Provision host computers for your deployment and install prerequisite software. For details, see Hardware and Software Requirements.
The following sections list the hardware and software requirements for Oracle WebCenter Analytics.
Caution:
IPv6 is not supported. You should verify that IPv6 is not enabled prior to installing Oracle WebCenter Analytics.For the most current platform support information, see the Oracle WebCenter Analytics spreadsheet under System Requirements and Supported Platforms for Oracle WebCenter Interaction & Ensemble 10gR3 on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification page at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html
.
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.
Caution:
IPv6 is not supported. You should verify that IPv6 is not enabled prior to upgrading this product.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.
