Prerequisite checklist

• WebLogic nodes: quad-core CPU
• Dgraph nodes: dual-core CPU

Note that these are the minimum amounts required to install BDD. A full-scale installation will require more.

• Managed Servers: 16GB (5GB for WebLogic Server and 11GB for the Transform Service)
• Dgraph nodes: 5GB (excluding requirements for HDFS, if applicable)
• YARN cluster: 16GB (combined)

Note that these are the minimum amounts required to install BDD. A full-scale installation will require more.

• 30GB in ORACLE_HOME on all BDD nodes
• 20GB in TEMP_FOLDER_PATH on all BDD nodes
• 10GB in INSTALLER_PATH on the install machine
• 512MB swap space on the install machine and all Managed Servers
• 39GB virtual memory on all Transform Service nodes

Note that these are the minimum amounts required to install BDD. A full-scale installation will require more.
