CDT system requirements
The RAM requirements of the Configuration Deployment Tool depend on the size of your database and the distribution of your configuration data.
Time estimates
The time required for the Configuration Deployment Tool to perform comparison and deployment tasks varies according to your system resources and the size and distribution of your configuration data. For example, processing time may increase when there are many records in a table that are referenced by foreign key constraints from other tables, or when there are many records in a table that serves as a driver entity.
It is recommended that you migrate no more than 200,000 records per deployment.
During tests of the Configuration Deployment Tool, Sterling Order Management System Software measures the amount of time it takes to perform tasks on a Pentium class machine with 512 MB of RAM and running at 550 MHz. The Configuration Deployment Tool performed as described in Table 1.
| Task | Description of Databases | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison | Source database - 110,000 records Target database - 110,000 records |
7 minutes |
| Comparison | Source database - 110,000 records Target database - empty |
4 minutes |
| Deployment | 110,000 differences | 11 minutes |
Installation
The Configuration Deployment Tool is installed automatically during the installation of Sterling Order Management System Software.
Environment state
The Configuration Deployment Tool assumes that your source and target environments match exactly in the following respects:
- Release of Sterling Order Management System Software (including fix packs)
- Release of JDBC drivers
- Release of database software
- Database structure (schema objects such as tables, indexes, and sequences)
Notes:
- Before using the Configuration Deployment Tool, make sure that you have run the Factory Setup on both source and target environments.
- Localization of text in the Configuration Deployment Tool is provided
by the
ydkbundle.propertiesfile.
