Anchorsoftwaresoftware††Software Software Version Explained:

  • Oracle JDK 8u101 or higher required. JRE is not supported
  • No other database should be present on the server node
  • Zephyr Enterprise Data Center requires a separate installation of the desired Zephyr Enterprise Data Center Requirements not included in the installation package

Additional deployment requirements:

  • Further, the The Zephyr instances need to be able to access a shared storage for storing common data (ex: attachments, etc) with a capacity of 100GB which could be further part of a HA cluster on its' own since this device is to be available without fail to all the nodes as long as the cluster is functional.
  • Nodes must be configured with the same timezone and keep the current time synchronized. Using NTPD (Network Time Protocol Daemon) or some similar service is a good way to arrange thisit.
  • Nodes must be able to communicate with each other based on IP address. (hosts file needs to be updated as required for this communication to work)
