Oracle® Retail Place Installation Guide

Consider the following steps to plan and prepare the product environment.

Determine the Place metrics relevant to your business needs.

Determine your relevant business policies. The business policy is a statement of 
what rules govern the application processes. You need to develop a business 
policy based on your business rules. For more information about business rules, 
see the Place Configuration Guide.

Plan the periodic batch loading of business and historical databases. This also 
includes the data feeds needed from the external systems for nightly, weekly, and 
periodic batch updates and recycling.

This section describes the hardware and network requirements for the Place 
application, and includes the following topics:

This section describes basic requirements for your network infrastructure: 

■

For connections between servers use the following:

■

Minimum: 100 MBps switched ethernet

■

Recommended: 1000 MBps

■

For connections to the desktop, 100 MBps is sufficient.

You can host the Place application and the Calculation Engine over multiple server 
instances (managed servers), and set up clusters to improve the system performance. 
The following list illustrates a typical cluster configuration:

■

Application Cluster - two or more managed server nodes that host instances of 
Place and its related applications.

■

Calculation Engine Cluster - two managed server nodes that host instances of the 
Calculation Engine.

For clustered and multi-server implementations, a hardware load balancer may be 
required. Cisco CSS series is supported.

Although the Place application can work along with managed 

servers, Failover clusters are not supported at the database or the 
application server tier. In an event of a failure of an instance, instead 
of the user’s session migrating to another (spare) instance, the user 
will get redirected to the Place Login page.
