Setting up NexJ Server

Set up a NexJ Server environment on a server where you plan to install NexJ Customer Relationship Management.

NexJ Server supports the following configurations:

A standalone server instance
A server cluster

To set up a NexJ Server instance or cluster, you create a directory in which to install the servers and then install the servers in that directory. For more information, see Installing NexJ Server.

Note: NexJ Server is compatible with previous releases of the NexJ application.

The instructions in this section refer to the following locations and variables:

NEXJ_PLUGIN: The location where the NexJ Studio plugin is installed, for example, c:\nexj_studio\12.0\plugins\com.nexjsystems.nexjstudio_version.
SERVER_HOME: The root directory of the NexJ Server instance, for example, \\projectdir\sams.; In a clustered environment, SERVER_HOME refers to the directory where you are installing and configuring the first node for your deployment, SERVER_HOME2 refers to the directory where you are installing and configuring the second node, and so on.; The SERVER_HOME directory should be readable and writable only to the deployment administrator, as it contains sensitive information, including the deployed code and authentication information.
JAVA_HOME: The location where the Java JDK is installed.
platform: The name of the directory that contains the files for your version of Windows. For example, win32-x86.

Note: Before deploying your application, you must configure the application server to use standards-compliant TCP stacks. See Configuring TCP on application servers.
