Installation sequence for server components

In a distributed installation, the sequence in which you configure components is important. Configure and start the services in at least one location where you installed Content Manager before you configure other server components.

You must configure the gateway component last so that cryptographic keys are shared and secure communication can take place among the three components. The server specified for the external dispatcher URI property on the gateway computer must be the last server component that you start.

The following diagram shows the sequence of the installation process for distributed components. After planning and preparing your environment, install and configure Content Manager components, then Application Tier Components and then gateways. After server components are installed, you install and configure Framework Manager.
