Hosts

InstallAnywhere 2026 R1

InstallAnywhere can apply rules, deploy files, and execute actions on three different types of server hosts:

•

Operating System host is the default host that contains files, launchers, and actions that your installers deliver to the target system.

•

Application Server hosts target an application server such as Geronimo, JBoss, Tomcat, WebLogic, and WebSphere.

•

Database Server hosts target a database server such as MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and DB2; these hosts enable you to connect to databases on local or remote servers and run SQL scripts.
