Minimum System Requirements
This document outlines the minimum recommended system requirements that must be implemented in order to achieve an acceptable degree of system performance and reliability, and pre-requisite Oracle components necessary for interoperability between the PROCESSIT application and Oracle E-Business Suite.
End-User Workstation Requirements
- Processor
- Intel® Pentium® based 1.5-GHz CPU or greater
- Supported browsers
- Mozilla Firefox 25+, Internet Explorer 8+
- Display Resolution
- 1280 x 800
- Network
- TCP/IP 100 MB LAN connection
- E-mail Transport Support
- SMTP and POP3. E-mail client with SMTP/POP3 support is required for notifications.
Database Requirements
- Version
- Oracle Enterprise Database 11g R2
- Processor
- 1.5-GHz+ CPU; Minimum 4 cores recommended for best performance
- Memory
- 8GB+ RAM
- Hard Disk
- 250GB for initial PROCESSIT installation; 400GB additional image storage space required pr. year.
- E-mail Transport Support
- SMTP and POP3. E-mail client with SMTP/POP3 support is required for notifications.
Depending on the installation consultant's approach to the install, the disk space usage/requirements can fluctuate between 50 GB or up to 250 GB. If the installer stages everything upfront (i.e. unpacks and get all files in place before the installation), then the disk space requirements at 250 GB will ensure that it can accommodate this approach. On the other hand, if the installer executes each install and subsequently cleans up the staging files, then the hard disk requirements can be as low as 50 GB.
Server Requirements (per server node)
- Oracle WebLogic Version
- 10.3.6
- Oracle BPEL Process Manager Version
- 11.1.1.7
- Processor
- 1.5-GHz+ CPU; Minimum 8 cores recommended for best performance
- Installation Hard Disk Space
- 60GB+. This includes temporary disk space that is required during installation (Note: does not include storage space for database table spaces nor document images).
- Memory
- 16Gb+ RAM (32GB+ RAM recommended)
- Color Bit Depth Display
- For Graphical-mode installation, 8-bit color depth (256 colors) is required. For Console-mode and for Silent-mode, there is no color bit depth requirement.
- Java JDK
- Sun JDK 1.7.0 or OpenJDK Java 7 v1.7 required with JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to the JDK installation directory.
If you are installing Oracle SOA Suite in a clustered environment, be aware that Oracle SOA uses Quartz, which is an open source job-scheduling framework. When you are setting up clusters on multiple systems, Quartz requires that the clocks on all the systems be synchronized. For more information, refer to: http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/wikidocs/TutorialLesson11.html
Although it is recommended to have a separate physical server deployment for the presentation layer and business logic layer (Oracle ADF), and another for the workflow processing component (Oracle BPEL Process Manager), a PROCESSIT implementation may be performed by having the all of these components on the same physical server.
Oracle JRockit JDK is not supported at this time. The Products installation program requires a Java run time environment (JRE) to run. A JRE is bundled in the Windows installation program and in some UNIX installation programs (those with filenames ending in .bin). For other UNIX platforms, the installation program does not install a JDK. Filenames for these installation programs end in .jar. To run the .jar installation programs, you must have the appropriate version of the JDK installed on your system, and include the bin directory of the JDK at the beginning of the PATH variable definition. It is important that you use a JDK because the installation process assigns values to JAVA_HOME and related variables to point to the JDK directory.
Oracle Access Manager for Single Sign-on Support (optional)
