upgrade your Java version to 1.6_10 or later. A minimum of version 1.6_10 is required to
run any Java-based applications, such as the Demantra worksheet applet. If you do not
want to upgrade to Java 1.6_10 or later and want to use Firefox, then use Firefox 3.5 or
earlier. For more information, see
http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/firefox_newplugin.xml. Also, please refer to My
Oracle Support Note 1212096.1 for details about issues with specific versions of Java 1.6

The engine can be deployed on either a 32-bit or 64-bit Linux platform, but in
either scenario, you must use a 32-bit application server (Tomcat, OAS,
WebLogic, or WebSphere).
These are the stacks on which Oracle Demantra receives rigorous testing. Other
variations are possible.
In principle, Oracle supports any:
Database operating system for the database server that the database software
supports
Application server operating system for the application server that the application
server software supports
In this release, VMWare is not officially supported. Please see My Oracle Support Note
249212.1 for Oracle's policy on VMWare image support.
Oracle certifies and supports Oracle Demantra on physical servers for database,
application, and engine servers.

Database
Note: If you are using Oracle JRockit, please refer to My Oracle Support Note 978098.1
for important configuration guidelines.
Note: Oracle Standard Edition does not include the database functions parallel
query/DML or database partitioning. For details on how these functions can be used to
improve performance of Demantra implementations, see Database Partitioning for the
Analytical Engine and the UseParallelDML procedures in the Oracle Demantra
Implementation Guide.
Caution: There is a known issue when using parallel hints to improve Demantra
performance on Oracle 11g version 11.2.0.1 and earlier. If your Oracle 11g version is
earlier than 11.2.0.1, refer to My Oracle Support Note 1249314.1 before installing
Demantra.
Note: Oracle Demantra 7.3.1 does not support Oracle Weblogic 11g (version 10.3.1 and
later). Support for Weblogic 11g is planned for a future release. Please monitor My
Oracle Support for updated information.

Oracle does not support Microsoft SQL Server in this release. To learn which Demantra
versions support SQL Server, please review previous versions of the Installation Guide
and Release Notes on My Oracle Support.

For details, see Deploying Demantra on Linux or UNIX in the Demantra 7.3.1
Installation Guide, My Oracle Support Note 1226023.1.
Note: The engine is supported only on the Intel platform (Windows or Linux). For
additional requirements and configuration details, please see Configure the Engine on
Linux in the Demantra 7.3.1 Installation Guide, My Oracle Support Note 1226023.1.

The Demantra Trade Promotion Optimization (TPO) Engine has been tested and certified
on the following:

Application Servers (32-bit only):

Hardware Architecture
For solution architecture, the most important consideration is the size of the
implementation:
Small implementations have 5-50 users and a relatively low volume of data.
For larger systems, consider running the database and application server on a UNIX
platform such as Linux, Solaris, HPUX, or AIX and be sure to size the hardware
accordingly. Demantra is a data process-intensive application and database clustering
using Oracle database Real Application Clusters (RAC) is supported. The application
server is not the load point in the Demantra application architecture, so J2EE clustering is
not supported.
Note: RAC supports several methods of connection configurations, and not all forms are
currently supported by the Demantra Web-based applications. (The analytical engine,
Business Modeler, and Member Management/Chaining applications support all forms of
The architecture of Oracle Demantra implementations fall into two main categories:
Two-tier architecture: All the server components and the Analytical Engine are on
a single, dedicated machine; client software is on other machines. This type of
architecture is sufficient for small to medium implementations.
Commonly you use one machine as the server for the Analytical Engine, and you run one
instance of the engine (single-instance mode). If your system includes the Distributed
Engine, other variants are possible:
Multiple-instance mode: One machine acts as the server for the Analytical Engine
and runs many instances of the engine. This requires a multi-CPU machine. In
some situations when using a machine based on Intel Xeon hardware, it is
possible to run more than one instance per CPU.
Mixed mode: A cluster of unequally powered machines are configured to run one
or more instances of the Analytical Engine server. The selected number of
instances per machine is done during configuration. Faster machines may be
configured to run more instances of the engine. For the minimum recommended
system, refer to the table below.

For a two-tier solution, you must use the Windows stack or a variation, because Oracle
Demantra Administrative Utilities (the Business Modeler and other desktop utilities) are
supported only on Windows. You can run these administrative utilities using Collaborator
Workbench on any Windows client. These are the minimum hardware requirements.

In a multi-tier solution, the servers and the Analytical Engine are potentially all on
different machines. Note the following general comments:
The hardware requirements are different for the different components and depend
upon the operating system/software stack.
Oracle Demantra does not support the J2EE clustering feature, because the Web
Platform Server cache is not designed to be shared by multiple machines.
Using fewer machines does not necessarily provide a cost savings. When a given
machine runs multiple solution components, that machine generally must have
more disk space, more memory, and greater speed than if it ran fewer
components.

3. Documentation Accessibility
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible
to all users, including users that are disabled. To that end, our documentation includes
features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This
documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by
the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and
Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address
technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
For more information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at
http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/.
Accessibility of Code Examples in Documentation
Screen readers may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The
conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise
empty line; however, some screen readers may not always read a line of text that consists
solely of a bracket or brace.
Accessibility of Links to External Web Sites in Documentation
This documentation may contain links to Web sites of other companies or organizations
that Oracle does not own or control. Oracle neither evaluates nor makes any
representations regarding the accessibility of these Web sites.
TTY Relay Access to Oracle Support Services
To reach AT&T Customer Assistants, dial 711 or 1.800.855.2880. An AT&T Customer
Assistant will relay information between the customer and Oracle Support Services at
1.800.223.1711. Complete instructions for using the AT&T relay services are available at
http://www.consumer.att.com/relay/tty/standard2.html. After the AT&T Customer
Assistant contacts Oracle Support Services, an Oracle Support Services engineer will
handle technical issues and provide customer support according to the Oracle service
request process.
