You can choose between one of the two orchestration script
installation modes, or a manual installation of the components.
When
installing Endeca Server, you have a choice of two installation options:
- Installation with the
orchestration script. You can install WebLogic, ADF (Application
Development Framework) Runtime, and Endeca Server all at once with a unified
orchestration script. The script runs all three installers for you, and,
optionally, performs the configuration tasks of creating a WebLogic domain,
generating SSL certificates, and registering the Data Enrichment plugins. The
orchestration script relies on the configuration file.
- Script installation
in configuration mode: In this mode, after installing WebLogic, ADF
(Application Development Framework) Runtime, and Endeca Server all at once, the
orchestration script performs the configuration tasks of creating a WebLogic
domain, generating SSL certificates, and registering the Data Enrichment
plugins. For details, see
Installing in configuration mode.
- Script installation
in non-configuration mode: In this mode, the script runs all three
installers for you, but does not perform the configuration tasks. For details,
see
Installing in non-configuration mode.
- Manual installation:
If you do not want to use the installation script, you can manually install
each of the three packages separately. A manual installation does not require a
configuration file, as you will be answering the installer prompts
interactively.
For installing WebLogic and ADF, see
Installing WebLogic Server and Application Developer Framework.
For installing Endeca Server, see
Manually Installing Endeca Server on a Single Machine.
After you have installed the Endeca Server package on a single node, you
have an option to install and deploy an Endeca Server cluster that consists of
multiple Endeca Server instances hosted by multiple Managed Servers in a
WebLogic domain. For details, see
Installing and Deploying an Endeca Server Cluster.
