How to install E9.05 with separate App Server

Thanks Ned;

I am referring to the document from Epicor entitled: TechRefGuide_PerformanceTuningVirtual_905602.pdf

This guide outlines seperate "AppServer" boxes that are all load balanced. I am familiar with the seperate AppServers in the PET for departments etc. but this layout seems to make sense to me. If you can e-mail me offline, I can send you the document if you cannot find it. Send me a message to forums@... and I will reply back with the document. Worthwhile reading.

Regards,
George Hicks

You need to define what you mean by AppServers and where this is based on an
actual need or just want to try it out to see how it would and could work.

Do you mean a complete secondary hardware server with OpenEdge AppServers on
it, or do you mean multiple AppServers on the same server?

Also, in general I haven't seen the need for a company to actually setup
multiple physical hardware servers to handle the load, performance could
actually be negatively impacted due to inability to fully utilize the
benefits of shared memory, while the option of multiple AppServers on the
same physical server has been beneficial.

In either case, the use of the AppServers is determined by the client
installation and the .mfgsys file used for the startup of the AppServers.

I want to lean towards setting up E9.05 to use a cluster of App Servers, so
I want to set it up initially with one, and then can expand to more.

Would I install the OpenEdge stuff on the "App Server" and then the Epicor
Server Software on the "E9" Server? If so, how do you tell the "E9" Server
to use the "App Server".

What steps would I use to install fresh with seperated Epicor Server and OE
App Server.
