ASAP System Requirements

Hardware Requirements

The number and configuration of the machines that you employ for your ASAP installation depends on the scale and the kind of deployment you have planned according to your networks.

ASAP Server Hardware Requirements

The ASAP hardware requirements described in this section are based on the number of ASDLs processed per second.

Table 3-1 provides recommended system hardware requirements for ASAP installed on an Oracle Linux platform.

Table 3-1 Hardware Requirements for Linux

Software Components	Recommended System Linux 2 threads per core
ASAP Server and WebLogic Server	4 cores, 16 GB RAM
Oracle Database	4 cores, 32 GB RAM
External Storage for Oracle Datafiles	28 x 73 GB (RAID 1+0)

Hardware Sizing Requirements

Table 3-2 describes the allocation of hardware sizing.

Table 3-2 Hardware Sizing Requirements

Number of ASDLs	Recommended Size
Less than 40 ASDLs/second	1 OCPU and 16 GB RAM
Up to 80 ASDLs/second	2 OCPU and 32 GB RAM

High Availability Sizing Requirements

Each ASAP instance in a high availability environment must be sized to handle the full load of orders when one ASAP system is unavailable.

Table 3-3 High Availability Sizing Recommendations

ASAP Components	Recommended Size
Order Balancer virtual machine	1 OCPU and 16 GB RAM
ASAP	1 OCPU and 16GB RAM

For full availability, you can have 2 Order Balancer systems with a HTTP load balancer in front of the Order Balancer for full high availability.

With this sizing recommendation, each ASAP instance can process 20 ASDLs/seconds in normal peak load, however it can handle the fulll load of 40 ASDLs/second when the other system is unavailable.

The sizing recommendation applies to both traditional and cloud native installations.

For more information on how to set up ASAP for high availability, see "Setting Up ASAP for High Availability" in ASAP System Administrator's Guide.

Figure 3-1 describes the high availability environment with the HTTP Load Balancer in front of the Order Balancer.

Software Requirements

For details about the software required to support the ASAP components for traditional deployment. See "ASAP Compatibility Matrix".

Information Requirements

During ASAP installation, you are required to enter configuration values, such as host names and port numbers. This section describes the information that you will be required to provide during the installation process. You define some of these configuration values when you install and configure the Oracle database, client, and WebLogic Server.

Oracle Database Information

Oracle database information is required for the configuration properties file. See "Configure ASAP Database" and "Configure ASAP Database Table space" in "Sample Configuration File" for the list of database parameters required for the ASAP installation.

Table 3-4 lists schema details that you are required to provide during installation.

Table 3-4 Schema user Information

Configuration Parameter	Description
Server Port Numbers	ASAP configures ports based on the values set in the sampleASAPConfiguration.properties file. You can provide your own values during the configuration process. You can select ports for the following servers (where envID represents your ASAP environment ID): SARMenvID CTRLenvID NEP_envID OCA_envID JSRPenvID - Sending WO JSRPenvID - Receiving WO event NEPenvID NEPenvID - jListener

Configuration Parameter

Description

Server Port Numbers

ASAP configures ports based on the values set in the sampleASAPConfiguration.properties file. You can provide your own values during the configuration process.

You can select ports for the following servers (where envID represents your ASAP environment ID):

SARMenvID
CTRLenvID
NEP_envID
OCA_envID
JSRPenvID - Sending WO
JSRPenvID - Receiving WO event
NEPenvID
NEPenvID - jListener

For more information about creating tablespaces, see "About Creating and Configuring the Oracle Database."

WebLogic Server Connection Information

Table 3-5 lists WebLogic Server connection details that you are required to provide during installation. The values for the information types are read from the sample configuration (sampleASAPConfiguration.properties) file. See, Sample Configuration File for more details on the sample configuration file and its parameters.

Note:

You must enter the values for the information types in the sampleASAPConfiguration.properties file.

Table 3-5 WebLogic Server Connection Information

Information Type	Description
Host Name of Oracle WebLogic Server	You provide the host name for the WebLogic Server instance to define it uniquely for the specific purpose of installing, and working with, ASAP (for example, localhost).
Port Number of Oracle WebLogic Server	This is the port number assigned to this specific the WebLogic Server (for example 7001).
User Name of Oracle WebLogic Server Administrator	Your WebLogic Server user name. You define this name when you create an Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
Password of Oracle WebLogic Server Administrator	You define this password along with the user name when you create an Oracle WebLogic Server domain.
