Most PhixFlow operators perform at least a minimal system planning exercise (Planning your PhixFlow System), but this is not strictly necessary if you can meet these minimal requirements.

Platform requirements

System Requirements and Compatibility

Users' computers

The following is a recommended minimum specification for users' computers:

Connection from Tomcat to database

The installation must allow for a connection from the server which hosts Tomcat to the database that hosts PhixFlow. Although in general PhixFlow will be installed with the application (Tomcat) running on one server, and the database on another (see ***), it is possible to run with Tomcat and the database all on the same server. In this case, making the connection is straightforward because it is just to another service on the same server.

Client access

A connection open to all users which routes them to Tomcat on the configured listener port (usually 8080), as below. This can be through any type or firewall or gateway, or a VPN. In most cases, a reverse proxy or application gateway will handle the incoming requests and route them over a private network to Tomcat at the required port. However, these connections can be made directly to the tomcat listener port.

Access to third party systems

You must allow for access to required third party systems. By default, PhixFlow does not need access to any third party systems; the needs of your solution will dictate what connections are needed.
