This chapter describes the software, hardware, and information requirements for Oracle Communications Evolved Communications Application Server (OCECAS).
OCECAS is supported for production use on the operating system, hardware, and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) combinations shown in Table 3-1.
Note:
OCECAS does not support any OpenJDK.Table 3-1 OCECAS Supported Software
| Operating System | Hardware Architectures | JDK | Additional Information |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Oracle Enterprise Linux Release 6.5 (64 bits) |
x86-32 |
Oracle JDK 1.8.0_31 (64 bits) and later security patch versions |
NA |
Table 3-2 shows the databases that OCECAS supports.
Table 3-3 shows the LDAP authentication software that OCECAS supports.
OCECAS is supported on all Oracle Critical Patch Updates. Install all critical patch updates as soon as possible.
To download Critical Patch Updates, find out about security alerts, and enable email notifications about Critical Patch Updates, see the Security topic on Oracle Technology Network:

This section describes the required hardware for OCECAS.
The number and configuration of the computers that you employ for your OCECAS installation depend on the scale and the deployment type you plan according to your charging requirements. Work with your performance team to determine your sizing requirements.
OCECAS has similar requirements to Oracle WebLogic Server. The following items are required in addition to the basic WebLogic Server requirements:
Gigabit Ethernet connections are required for all production deployments.
Dual network interface cards (NICs) are required to provide failover capabilities in a production environment.
Extra RAM is required to support the throughput requirements of most production installations.
A load balancer is required for production installations.
Table 3-6 shows the information you provide during the OCECAS installation process.
Note:
For production systems, reference fully qualified domain names (FQDN) for systems instead of localhost for listener addresses.Table 3-6 Required Information
