Studio system requirements

In addition to these Studio system requirements, the Studio installation instructions also assume that you have a running Oracle Endeca Server at which to point Studio. This version of Studio is compatible with the 7.6.x version of Oracle Endeca Server.

Hardware requirements

Minimum hardware requirements:
  • x64 2.0 GHz processor
  • 4 GB RAM
  • 4 GB disk space
Recommended hardware requirements:
  • x64 3.0 GHz dual-core processor
  • 8 GB RAM

Supported operating systems

Platform Description
Oracle Linux Oracle Linux Release 6 for x64

While Oracle Linux 6 is recommended, Studio is also supported on Oracle Linux 5 (version 5 for x64), update 7 or higher, running on x64 processors.

Only the Red Hat Compatible Kernel is supported.

Linux RHEL

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (version 6 for x64) running on x64 processors.

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform (version 6 for x64) running on x64 processors.

While Red Hat Linux 6 is recommended, Studio is also supported on Red Hat Linux version 5 for x64. For best performance on Red Hat Linux version 5 (Server and Advanced), we recommend the latest version of RHEL 5.

Windows 2008 Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise running on x64 processors.

Software requirements

Studio is a Web-based application that runs in an application server. It supports the following software:
Software Supported Versions
Application server
  • Tomcat 6. The Studio Tomcat bundle includes Tomcat 6.0.37.
  • Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.6)
Java Sun Java 6, update 18 or greater. We recommend that you use the latest generally available Java 6 patch, 1.6.0_45.

The Studio Tomcat bundle includes the 64-bit version 1.6.0_51.

Database system
  • MySQL 5.1
  • Oracle 11g
Browser
  • Firefox ESR on Windows.

    Firefox is the recommended browser for Studio.

  • Internet Explorer 8 (with compatibility mode disabled) on Windows.

    Running Internet Explorer 8 in compatibility mode is not supported.

    Also note that Internet Explorer 8 is usually slower than Firefox, and may throw script warnings on scripts that run a long time.

  • Internet Explorer 9 on Windows
  • Safari on the iPad. iPad can only be used to log in to Studio and view applications. Users cannot create or configure Studio applications from an iPad.
Browser plugin For users on Internet Explorer 8, Adobe Flash 10.0 or greater, for displaying charts. For other browsers, charts are displayed using HTML5.

We recommend using the most recent version of Flash supported by the browser.

Alternative database support

The Studio server uses a relational database to store configuration and state. Hypersonic is used by default, but is not recommended for production use due to performance issues. Studio has been tested on MySQL and Oracle 11g. However, many other databases are expected to work.

Customers should feel free to use any database, including shared systems they may already have in place. As with application servers, customers who choose to deploy on un-tested databases will always be supported on any issue that can be traced back to core Studio code and can be reproduced on a supported database.
