Installation Planning Best Practices

Follow planning guidelines to ensure a smooth STA installation.

Ensure STA is on a dedicated server

To ensure optimal performance and functionality of the STA application, STA must be installed on a dedicated server (called the STA server). There should be no other applications running on the server. Oracle Service can provide support only if these conditions are met.

Get assistance with STA server sizing

Contact your Oracle sales representative for assistance with sizing your STA server. Your sales representative can use the STA Server Sizing Tool to provide you with best sizing recommendations to meet your site's current needs and expected growth. See Server Requirements.

Plan the file system layout

For optimal performance and functionality of the STA application, plan your STA file system layout and space allocations carefully. The file system is configured during Linux installation. See Review the STA File System Layout.
