2 Pricing Design Center System Requirements
Learn about the software and hardware requirements for installing Oracle Communications Pricing Design Center (PDC).
Topics in this document:
Software Requirements
PDC is an application that is deployed in an Oracle WebLogic Server domain. You must install and connect all required software for optimal performance. For more information on the supported operating systems, additional software required, and compatible software versions, see "PDC Software Compatibility" in BRM Compatibility Matrix.
Hardware Requirements
The number and configuration of the computers that you employ for your PDC installation depend on the scale and the kind of deployment you have planned according to your networks.
Table 2-1 provides the minimal hardware requirement for PDC installed on a single managed server in a WebLogic Server domain.
Table 2-1 PDC Minimum Hardware Requirements
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
|
Hard disk |
1.5 GB of free disk space Note: A minimum of 1.5 GB should be free in the Oracle WebLogic Server domain home. |
|
Processor |
Oracle recommends using twin cores, each running at 1.5 GHz CPU. |
|
Memory |
A minimum of 4 GB physical memory and 4 GB swap. If you plan to have the database installed on the same server as PDC, the minimum memory requirements increase to 6 GB physical memory and 6 GB swap. |
Information Requirements
This section describes the information that you will be required to provide during the PDC installation procedure. You define some of these configuration values when you install and configure Oracle Database and WebLogic Server.
Note:
Oracle recommends that you print the tables and record the values for future reference.
