Archive Manager Web Service prerequisites
This section describes the prerequisites for installing the Archive Manager Web Service, which is available as a .NET Web Service or as a Java Web Service. Each has its own set of prerequisites.
If your archiving database is behind a firewall, you need to use the Archive Manager Web Service to expose the data in the archiving database to the Archive Manager Explorer. Otherwise, you can configure your Archive Manager Explorer to access the database directly.
To perform the installation of the Archive Manager Web Service, you need administrator-level rights to the target machine. The target machine can be any machine that meets the requirements (you do not need to have any Content Delivery software installed.)
.NET Web Service prerequisites
This section describes the prerequisites for installing the .NET Web Service.
- Supported Web Application servers
-
The .NET Web Service supports any version of IIS that is supported by SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
- .NET framework
-
The .NET Web Service supports any version of .NET that is supported by SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
- Database client software
-
If your DBMS for the Archiver database is Oracle, your .NET Web service requires any Oracle client software that is a valid Oracle database client for Content Manager in SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
- Java virtual machine (only when using authentication)
-
If your .NET Web service uses authentication, it also requires a Java runtime environment (JRE). Any JRE version is allowed, so long as it is a supported JRE for Content Manager in SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
Java Web Service prerequisites
This section describes the prerequisites for installing the Java Web Service.
- Required license
-
The Java Archive Manager Web Service require a Content Broker license (this license is a part of the SDL Tridion Content Delivery license file).
- Required SDL Tridion software
-
You can install the Java Web Service as a standalone Web application by deploying the WAR file on the Archive Manager installation media.
Alternatively, you can add the Java Web service JARs, also on the Archive Manager installation media, to an existing Web application. That existing Web application does need to have the SDL Tridion Content Delivery API Server Role installed.
In either scenario, the Archive Manager Web service also requires an Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database driver. Any JDBC driver is allowed, so long as it is a supported driver for Content Delivery in SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
- Supported Web Application Servers
- The Java Web Service works with any Web application server that is supported by Content Delivery for SDL Tridion 2013 SP1.
- Java virtual machine
- The Java version of the Archive Manager Web Service (compliant with Content Delivery of SDL Tridion 2013 SP1) supports any J2SE 6.0 or Java SE 7.0 compliant runtime environment (JRE) that ships with your Web Application Server.
