Application servers
Native deployment (New in 4.3.)
GlassFish 3.1 [2]
Deprecated since version 4.5: Support for GlassFish is being phased out and will be removed in Vidispine 4.6. We recommend that you switch to Standalone Vidispine when upgrading to Vidispine 4.3 or later.
Java
- Oracle JDK 1.7 (only 7u25 or 7u67) [3]
Other
- Solr 4.10.0 (if installed manually)
- Zookeeper 3.4.5 (for HA systems) [1]
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.
