Oracle User Productivity Kit is a collaborative content development

platform that allows enterprises to drive user productivity and

mitigate risk throughout all phases of the software ownership

lifecycle. This document provides the minimum system requirements

for various Oracle User Productivity Kit components. Your

organization might be implementing some or all of these

components, so refer to the sections that are applicable to you.

Multi-user Install

Content authors use the Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK) development tool to create content. This section outlines the technical requirements for a multi-user installation of the UPK development tool. In a multi-user installation, the core UPK development tool files are installed on a central server for content sharing, and a client version of the UPK development tool is installed locally on the content author‘s workstation.

Server Requirements for a Multi-user Install

Hardware

Processor 1GHz or greater System memory 1GB or greater

Physical storage 360 MB for program files

Network connection

100Mb connection capable of communicating via HTTP(S) and TC P/IP

Connection utilized for communication between the Development server and the Database server. Increased bandwidth typically improves performance.

Software

Operating system

Microsoft Windows 2003 Server 32-bit SP2 or 64-bit SP2, 2008 Server 32-64-bit (SP1 or SP2) or 64-64-bit (SP1 or SP2), or 2008 Server R2 32-bit or 64 bit Web server Microsoft Internet Information Services is required Software framework Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
