Platform Information

General platform information, based on your existing technologies and hardware, can be used to assess the appropriateness of an application as a candidate for integration. Collected platform information might include the following:

• What operating system (including version) do the applications run on?

• Which web containers (including version) do the applications run in?

• What programming model was used to develop the applications ? (such as Java, ASP/.NET, or C)

• Are there plans to upgrade the applications? If so, what is the time line?

LOB applications might also be running third party applications (such as portals, content management databases, or human resource systems). These applications do not always deploy on platforms supported by Access Manager policy agents. If a policy agent is required, determine the deployment criteria of these applications and schedule their deployment based on the availability of a policy agent.
