Installing Unica Plan in a cluster
You can install Plan in a cluster by completing additional tasks while installing Plan.
To install Unica Plan in a cluster, follow the instructions from chapters 2 through 7 and supplement those instructions with information from this chapter.
When you install Unica Plan in a cluster, there are many ways to configure the installation. However, the basic process follows.
- Run the installers on one system: typically, the administration server (or whatever the equivalent is for your application server type).
- Create and share a file directory to hold the upload files for all the Unica Plan installations.
- Create the EAR file, and then deploy it on each machine in the cluster.
- Configure each system to share the same Unica Platform system tables and the same Unica Plan system tables.
- Configure each system to use the shared file directory.
- Determine which machine in the cluster should send notifications. Then suppress the notification process on all the other machines.
- Enable the UMOSESSIONID cookie for all servers in the cluster.
- Configure plan_ehcache.xml for distributed caching of templates and offer folders.
