Server Installation

This section tells how to install the Deployment Automation server using the Deployment Automation standalone installer.

The server provides services such as the user interface used to configure application deployments, the work flow engine, the security service, and the artifact repository, among others. After installing the server, you must add a license and configure the server according to your implementation needs.

Important: If you are installing the server in a production environment, install and configure the database you intend to use before installing the server. See Database Installation. Otherwise, you can use the built-in Derby database.

Note: (UNIX/Linux) Root privileges are required to install the Serena Deployment Automation server; the installer writes product registration data into the /var/opt/ directory.

Upgrading Servers

If upgrading the server, use the server installer. See the Readme Upgrades section for information on versions from which you can upgrade directly.
