Deploying on a Single System

In a single-system deployment, all components of RiskMinder and the application, which users log in to, are installed on a single system. The database may be on the same system where RiskMinder is installed, or on a different system.

This deployment model is typically used for development, proof of concept, or initial testing.

It is possible to use both Java SDKs and Web services in a single-system deployment. The prerequisite software for these components is identical.

The simplest way to perform a single-system deployment is to select the Complete Installation option (see "Performing Complete Installation" for more information) while running the RiskMinder installer.

Component Diagrams

The diagrams in this section depict possible deployment options for prerequisite software and RiskMinder components. Note, that if you perform a Complete Installation, then both Java SDKs and Web services are present on the system. You can select one or both integration methods, in this case.

• Deploying Java SDKs
• Deploying Web Services

If you plan to perform a single-system deployment, then you must make the following decisions:

• Install a database server on the system which has RiskMinder Server, or use an existing database on a separate system?
• Use Sample Application or write my own Web application?

  Important! Sample Application must not be used in production deployments. it is recommended that you build your own web application by using Sample Application as a code-reference.

• Use Java SDKs or Web services to integrate with my own Web application.

The following sections help you achieve your deployment decision.

Deploying Java SDKs

The following figure illustrates RiskMinder Server and Java SDKs deployed on a single system.

Note: The use of a web server to deliver HTML pages for the application server is optional and is transparent to RiskMinder. In production deployments, this approach is typically used to improve the application server performance and security. See the documentation of your application server for detailed information.

Deploying Web Services

If you plan to deploy Web services, then the following figure illustrates RiskMinder Server and Web services on a single system.

Note: Because all Web services are now built into the RiskMinder Server module itself, you simply install RiskMinder Server on the target system and generate the requisite client stubs. No further configuration is required.
