Important notes¶
When installing a fresh Vidispine system towards PostgreSQL, the template1 database in PostgreSQL must be accessible in order for the installer to be able to create the Vidispine database.
For GlassFish: ONLY use Java version 7u25 or 7u67 and stay away from Java 7u40, 7u45 and 7u51, as they do not work properly with GlassFish 3. See GLASSFISH-20814.
Native deployment: Use the latest Java provided by the distribution, as required by the native packages.
Limitations¶
- RED format is not supported on Windows systems.
- Deployment on Microsoft Windows only supports GlassFish and PostgreSQL. Windows User Access Control (UAC) must be turned off prior to installing.
- JBoss AS 6.1 is not fully compatible with Java 7, which can show itself in Vidispine when fetching metadata with terse=yes, as in GET API/item/{id}/metadata?content=metadata&terse=yes, which will throw an error.
