General guidelines for application server installation

Do not include spaces in the installation path of the application.

Run the application server on hardware supported by the application server provider. Guidewire can provide assistance with hardware requirements for your production implementation.

Use only the JDK or JRE specified in the Supported Software Components knowledge article, or a higher maintenance release. Tomcat requires the JRE only.

Do not run multiple Guidewire applications or multiple instances of a single Guidewire application under a single JVM in a production environment. Guidewire does not support this configuration. Each Guidewire application in a production environment must run in a JVM reserved for that application.

PolicyCenter synchronizes with the database clock. The application server and database server must be in the same time zone. The maximum difference allowed between the application server and database server is 29 minutes.

PolicyCenter does not support the security manager feature for any application server. Do not enable this feature.
