Application Server

Application server

  • Minimum one application server with one production installation of PlanMill. We recommend separate test server for upgrades
  • PlanMill application code installed under C:\Program Files\PlanMill
  • Files: binary attachments, export files
  • Apache Tomcat 7.0.x web container (installed by PlanMill and only for PlanMill use due to configurations and libraries which might conflict with other systems). Test and Production environments may use different versions of Tomcat and Java while testing new releases 2 separate Tomcat installations are then required, can be done on same server if necessary, but easier if test and production are different servers. Uses 2 application contexts:
    • Customer’s PlanMill application
    • Shared PlanMill application (contains all the default settings, only for administrator)
  • SUN Java JDK 1.8.x (installed by PlanMill)
  • Windows Server 2008/2012
  • For authentication with Microsoft Active directory we recommend AD FS (see details in Microsoft ADFS Single-Sign On (SSO) where customer is responsible for installing and maintaining the AD FS service

Addresses and login information for external servers (LDAP, Mail, Share) are stored in the System parameters. Those are located in customer’s PlanMill instance and in Apache Tomcat’s configuration files.
