System 2.3 vcdm server, job server and repository server Overview Java memory Software Apache Tomcat 8.0 (8.0.48) or 8.5 (8.5.24) JBoss Wildfly 8.2 Java version: > Java 8 (recommended version: 1.8.161) JDBC driver version: > 11.2.0.3 (ojdbc6.jar) E-mail server: > E-mail (SMTP) connection Server Side A2L Check: > Windows operating system is mandatory for the installation of A2L Check. Must be released for the specific application server version by the application server vendor. Operating system: > 64 bit operating system vcdm requires a certain amount of Java memory for the server. Memory in this context means available memory for the Java Virtual Machine, the vcdm web applications are running on. The memory depend on the number of concurrent users and the data which is processed. Therefore, only rough estimates can be given. The actual memory highly depend on the individual situation of the organization and should be monitored using JMX and similar tools. Furthermore, vcdm consists of multiple web applications that scale differently with increasing number of users. These web applications can be deployed on a single compute node or operated on a cluster of compute nodes. In the latter case a load balancer distributes the user requests to the individual nodes. Compute nodes could be physical base metal server or virtual machines. The available physical memory on the compute nodes must be higher than the memory assigned to the Java Virtual Machines. The following rules of thumb can be applied: > Number of concurrent users: 5-10% of registered users > Minimum memory: 2 GB > Per 100 Client: Additional 2 GB Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.6 12

System > Use multiple computer nodes with > 200 users The following table represents typical scenarios for vcdm server deployment depending on the number of users. Number of registered users Concurrent users Number of compute nodes Recommended compute node < 10 1 2 1 General purpose 1 VCPU, 2 GB 100 200 5 10 1 General purpose 4 VCPU, 4-6 GB 200 1000 10 20 2 General purpose 8 VCPU, 3-12 GB 1000 2000 20 40 2-3 General purpose 8 VCPU, 8-16 GB Total memory 2 GB 4-6 GB 6 22 GB 22 42 GB Scaling recommendation for the web applications: > Deploy vcdm main web application on all compute nodes. > Deploy vcdm job server on a single compute node. > Deploy vcdm repository on a single compute node. If local repositories are deployed to speed up file access in distributed settings, use scaling for <10 users for this repository server Note: Several server instances with a session-based load balancer recommended! Session-failover is not supported. Hard disk capacity dependent on trace level options used. 64-bit Java (Linux or HP-UX) is recommended. Hardware Hardware (vcdm repository server) Standard file server Hard disk: > The hard disk can be estimated according to the following calculation formula: <number of projects> * <number of variants per project> * <number of years in production> * 30 MB, e.g. 10 projects * 100 variants per projects -> 30 GB per year Backup system: > Any backup system (e.g. streamer tape) Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.6 13

System 2.4 Database server (Oracle server) Software Oracle version: > Oracle server 11g with patch set 11.2.0.2, 11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.4 > Oracle server 12c with patch set 12.1.0.2 Operating system: > All platforms supported by the respective Oracle version Note: Please contact Oracle for compatibility of Oracle client and server versions! Note: There are known bugs of several Oracle Server versions. Please contact Oracle for workarounds! Hardware Processor frequency: > < 100 clients: Standard server processor > > 100 clients: Multi-processor system (e.g. Dual Xeon, Dual Opteron, or Dual Itanium) Main memory: > Minimum 2 GB RAM > Per 100 clients minimum 3 GB RAM Example: > 500 clients: 15 GB RAM > 1000 clients: 30 GB RAM Hard disk: > The hard disk can be estimated according to the following calculation formula: <number of projects> * <number of variants per project> * <number of years in production> * 20 MB, e.g. 10 projects * 100 variants per projects -> 20 GB per year Backup system: > Any backup system (e.g. streamer tape) Vector Informatik GmbH Version 6.6 14
