Platform Services does not require that any other Oracle Commerce components be previously installed.
You can install the Oracle Commerce MDEX Engine and Oracle Commerce Workbench packages either before or after you install the Platform Services package.
Note
The Document Conversion Module does require that Platform Services be installed.
You can install all the Oracle Commerce packages on a single server (which is typically a development server) or install them across multiple servers.
A single development server can have all the required Oracle Commerce packages installed on it:
In a multiple-server environment, you can host:
The MDEX Engine, the Platform Services package (which includes the EAC Central Server and Agent), the data for your application, and the Deployment Template on one server. This is the Data Processing (ITL) server.
The MDEX Engine and the EAC Agent on one or more additional servers. These are the MDEX Engine servers.
Workbench and the EAC Agent on a separate server. This is the Tools server.
For more information on these configurations, see the Oracle Commerce Getting Started Guide.
