Deploying SDL Online Editor through Chef Solo
Deploying SDL Online Editor is the first step towards making SDL Online Editor work on your environment. You do not need an Internet connection to deploy SDL Online Editor.
Before you begin
- A separate machine only for SDL Online Editor.
- Administrator permissions on the SDL Online Editor machine.
- Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016 (64-bit) on the SDL Online Editor machine.
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 on the SDL Online Editor machine.
- The SDL Online Editor deployment kit (chef_solo_ue.zip). You can find it in the integrations\SDL Online Editor folder of the WorldServer distribution kit.
- Prior knowledge about Chef Solo and about deployments performed through Chef Solo.
Minimum requirements for the SDL Online Editor machine: 2 CPU cores at 2.40 GHz each and 4 GB of RAM.
Load testing results suggest that on a WorldServer machine with 10 workflow engines where 4 of the 16 GB of RAM are allocated to Apache Tomcat, you can successfully upload ten 90000-word assets at the same time. In this case, uploading refers to the Enable Online Editing step in your workflow.
