Need help answering question from our technology team

Hello.

I was in a meeting w/our technology team and they had some questions about teamsite which I didn't have the background to answer.

I wanted to pass this on to people in the forum and see if you can help me
with some of the questions.

1)Interwoven server set up
What OS does it support? Which patch revisions?
Can in run on a windows box running XP? Or does it have to be T2000 Solaris 9 or similar?

2)Does Interwoven support AIX?

3)What are the OS requirements for TS 6.7 as opposed to 6.5?
Is everything backwards compatible?

4)(not sure if this is answerable)
How do we migrate from coldfusion? possibly J2EE?

Would appreciate any input on this.

Thanks.

TeamSite runs on Linux, Solaris and Windows 2003. It will never run on XP. Server size depends - how much for how much ? I know Sun runs TS on some pretty large servers. My implementation is on 2003 with a quad processor, 100 GB of disk and 8 GB of RAM. That should handle small and medium (even some large) implementations.

Your local sale critter should be able to provide the specific patch levels, but I pay little attention to them, has not seemed to matter.

2)Does Interwoven support AIX?

Not any more for the TS server. OpenDeploy still supports (I think) AIX.

3)What are the OS requirements for TS 6.7 as opposed to 6.5?
Is everything backwards compatible?

Minor differences if any. 6.7.1 has added support for certain newer revs. IIRC, Solaris 2.8 was supported on 6.5 but not on 6.7

IWOV tries extremely hard to maintain backwards compatibility, though it is not guaranteed.

This question does not lend itself to a 30 second sound bite answer. Moving the files in in trivial, but there can be a lot more to the migration process. you can describe exactly what you have and what you want to have for more details.

Thank you Andy. I will gather more information regarding the migration to J2EE

I spoke to our technology team and they were trying to get a better
understanding of how teamsite works.

They asked questions about using the "separating code from content"...approach than pushing generated jsp pages(which we did at my previous company).

If the constructs of a page exist in an app tier of our servers
and all content(text), images, css, javascript live in the web tier.

I'm just trying to best explain to them how a web page is formed when you use the approach of separating code from content so that tech administrators
can understand what's happening.

They way it was explained was that raw text content in XML is passed
to a database which then calls the approrpriate assets and presentation tempaltes to form the page. JSP components such as the masthead, left nav, etc are formed together to create a page.

They asked "which database"? What is content? and is it correct that the database constructs are on the app tier and the assets, content and assets are on the web tier.

(I hope this made sense).

Is this the best way to explain what's happening? Or is there a more concise way to explain what happens on the server end when Teamsite using this approach?

You would be best advised to get the SE who sold the software to participate in a conf call with your technology team. It is something that can easily be explained but will lose a great deal unless it comes from the horses mouth and they can ask questions.
