WorldServer Application Machine Requirements
The central machine in any WorldServer deployment is the WorldServer Application Server. This is the machine that manages all of the WorldServer processes, including the workflow, translation memory, and document publishing.
The following sections document the list of supported configurations for the WorldServer application machine.
Supported Application Servers
- Tomcat™ 7.0.63 (included with WorldServer)
- IBM® WebSphere® Application Server 7 or later
Supported Application Server Operating Systems
- Microsoft® Windows® Server 2012 R2 support (64-bit) standard and enterprise editions
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 support (64-bit) standard and enterprise editions
- 32-bit x86 English Windows Server 2003, standard and enterprise editions
- 32-bit x86 Japanese Windows Server 2003, standard and enterprise editions
- 32-bit x86 Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4
- 32-bit and 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- 32-bit and 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Supported Application Server Java Versions
- 64-bit Java™ Standard Edition 7, update 25
- 32-bit Java™ Standard Edition 7, update 25
Database Clients
If your database server resides on a different machine from the WorldServer application server, the WorldServer application server machine needs to have the database client installed for that database server.
Also, if you create the WorldServer database yourself (rather than letting the WorldServer installer create it), and your database server is on a different machine from WorldServer, you will need the Oracle or SQL Server client on the machine from which you create the database, since database creation requires a management utility (like SQL Plus for Oracle or iSQL for SQL Server).
Recommended Hardware for Application Server
SDL recommends that your WorldServer application server machine meet the following minimum specifications:
- Microsoft Windows servers:
- Minimum 2 GHz processor (dual processor 3 GHz or better is recommended)
- Minimum of 2 GB RAM (4 GB or better is recommended)
- Minimum of 100 MB space on disk before installing WorldServer (200 MB or better is recommended), plus additional space for your documents (assets) if they are being stored on this machine
or
- Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® servers:
- Minimum 1 GHz processor (dual processor 3 GHz is recommended)
- Minimum of 1 GB RAM (4 GB is recommended)
- Minimum of 100 MB space on disk before installing WorldServer (200 MB is recommended) plus additional space for your documents (assets) if they are being stored on this machine
