Hosts

InstallAnywhere 2017

Edition • Host options are available in the Premier edition of InstallAnywhere. The Professional edition uses only the Operating System host, which requires no additional configuration on the Organization and Sequence pages.

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

Operating System host is the default host, transparent to InstallAnywhere Professional Edition users, 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.
