Note:

MongoDB is third-party software and is not included in the AEM licensing package. For more information see the MongoDB licensing policy page.

In order to get the most of your AEM deployment, Adobe recommends licensing the MongoDB Enterprise version in order to benefit from professional support.

The license includes a standard replica set, which is composed of one primary and two secondary instances that can be used for either the author or the publish deployments.

In case you wish to run both author and publish on MongoDB, two separate licenses need to be purchased.

For more information, see the MongoDB for Adobe Experience Manager page.

This uses a simple Server Layout with only an Admin Server.

WebLogic Server Preparation

  • false see on http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/domain/1.0/domain.xsd for the correct position (per default to position it at the end of the section is ok)

• Increase VM Memory settings:
  • open ${myDomain}/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd (resp .sh)search for WLS_MEM_ARGS, set e.g set WLS_MEM_ARGS_64BIT=-Xms256m -Xmx2048m
  • restart WebLogic Server
• Create in ${myDomain} a packages folder and inside a cq folder and in it a Plan folder
