Installation Scenarios

A CA OM Web Viewer installation involves the following entities:

Java Web application server
CA OM Web Viewer is a Java Web application that must be run on a Java Web application server.
(Optional, but recommended) Database server
CA OM Web Viewer can be configured to link to a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) for administration, data persistence, and caching frequently used administrative information. CA OM Web Viewer requires a database having a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver compliant to type-3 JDBC specifications.

For best performance, we recommend that you use a standalone database server. However, if there is no database server, CA OM Web Viewer can create an embedded database (Apache Derby embedded database) with the product.

The following sections provide examples of possible installation scenarios.
