Physical architecture
The physical configuration of the Central Designer software includes:
- A database server machine.
- One or more application server machines. For more information, see Web farm capabilities.
- One or more client machines.
There are three configuration options for the Central Designer software.
Configuration |
Description |
|---|---|
Single-tier |
The application server, database server, and client applications run on the same machine. |
Two-tier |
The application server and database server run on the same machine, and the client applications run on another machine. |
Three-tier |
The database server, application server, and client applications each run on a separate machine. |
Notes:
- For optimum performance, Oracle recommends a three-tier configuration.
- If the application server and database server are on the same computer, you must install the Oracle Server software and Oracle Client software in the same home.
