Learn about the software and hardware requirements for the Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) Business Operations Center software.

Topics in this document:

Software Requirements

Business Operations Center is deployed on the Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS) JRF-enabled WebLogic Server domain.

The following software is required for installing Business Operations Center:

  • OPSS JRF-enabled WebLogic Server domain for deploying Business Operations Center.

    Note:

    You configure OPSS when you create the JRF-enabled WebLogic domain. No additional steps are required for configuring OPSS.

  • Oracle WebLogic Server installed using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure installer.

Optionally, you can install Oracle Identity Management (IDM) components for authentication and authorization based on your requirements:

  • Oracle Access Management (OAM) for single sign-on (SSO) configuration.

  • Oracle Unified Directory for user directory management.

  • Oracle Identity Governance for connecting to Oracle Unified Directory and managing users.

Business Operations Center is supported only on the software and hardware listed in these sections. You must install and connect all required software components for a secure installation.

For information about supported operating systems, additional software requirements, and compatible software versions, see "Business Operations Center Software Compatibility" in BRM Compatibility Matrix.

Hardware Requirements

The number and configuration of the hosts used for your Business Operations Center installation depend on your requirements. For example, large transaction volumes, multiple geographical locations, or fail-over requirements affect the amount of required hardware.

Table 3-1 lists the recommended hardware requirement for a single server production Business Operations Center installation containing all components. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing and Configuring Oracle Identity and Access Management for more information about IDM component hardware and sizing.

Table 3-1 Business Operations Center Single Server Minimum Hardware Requirements

Component Requirement

Hard disk

A minimum of 200 GB of free disk space.

Note: A minimum of 1.5 GB should be free in the domain home.

Processor

Oracle recommends using 6 or more cores, each running at 1.5 GHz or greater.

Memory

A minimum of 35 GB physical memory and 16 GB swap.

If you plan to install the required database on the same server, see "Server Hardware Checklist for Oracle Database Installation" in Oracle Database Installation Guide for more information about required memory.

For more information about calculating the required memory in your environment, see Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications.
