Agile PLM 9.2.2.1 - Part I

In May this year, Oracle has acquired Agile, a leading provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solutions. In this post I will explain about the various components of Agile PLM system, and the following posts will be dedicated to Agile PLM installation. The components of Agile PLM application are: 1) Agile Database 2) Agile Application Server 3) Agile File Manager 4) Agile Web Proxies These components should be installed in the above order. Agile Database Used to hold all Agile data. It is recommended to install the database and application server on separated machines. Agile Application Server The Agile Application Server can be run on Oracle Application Server 10g or BEA WebLogic Server. The Application Server is the main component of the Agile system, all services and business logic reside on it. The Agile application deployed on the Application Server. All users (Java/Web clients) connect to the Application Server in 2 possible ways: - Directly - Indirectly, via Wev proxy Server. Agile File Manager The File Manager manages all Agile files in the file system (File Vault). The File Manager runs on Tomcat. Agile Web Proxies Server The Agile web client allows connection to both internal and external users. Agile web client uses Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services) or Apache web server. The Agile web client connects to an Agile Application Server the same way like other Agile Application Server clients. Next post I will show, step by step, how to install Agile PLM 9.2.21 on two nodes configuration. Aviad
