iIS Process System Software
54 iPlanet Integration Server • P rocess System Guide • August 2001
For the purpose of system setup, the primary considerations are that the iIS process
engine is the workhorse of your iIS process system and that it accesses a potentially
very large database. Your engine server node or nodes should therefore be a very
high performance server with plenty of available memory. If you are unsure at this
point how to configure your iIS engine, designate all likely nodes as engine server
nodes. This approach gives you the most flexibility later on.
Another design issue concerns the iIS development repository. You might want iIS
developers to use an existing iPlanet UDS repository, or you might prefer to create
one or more central development repositories for exclusive use by iIS developers.
In addition, you might decide that the repository server needed to support iIS
development should reside on a server other than the central server node hosting
the Environment Manager, as shown in Figure 2-1 on page46.
In any case, before beginning your iIS setup procedure, fill in a table similar to the
one that follows:
iIS Function Node type: Server/Client Node Names
Central server Server
Repository server Server
Engine servers Server
Process development Client or server
Client application
development
Client or server
System management Client or server
Runtime client application Client or server
