Concurrency Requirements

It is important to understand the concurrency components before you implement it in your environment.

These requirements are as follows:
  • You must install Cobra 8.3 Cumulative Update 08, PM Compass 8.1 Cumulative Update 25, and Cobra 8.3 Integration for PM Compass 8.1, at the minimum.
  • You must set up and configure the Cobra Concurrency machine.
  • You must host a Cobra Web Service instance to run the Cobra process.
  • You must create a dedicated Cobra process queue in the PM Compass EPM Security Administrator for Cobra-initiated jobs. The dedicated Cobra Concurrency machine must be assigned to this queue. You must not assign any other process queues to the Cobra Concurrency machine. You select this dedicated Cobra process queue in the Queue field on the Data Access tab of the Application Preferences dialog box in Cobra.
  • You must have a dedicated Windows Domain Account that has access to the shared folder.
  • You must have a shared folder (for example, network drive) with at least a modify permission and that is accessible to:
    • The Cobra user who will run the concurrent process, if you are in a standalone or client/server environment
    • The n-tier server machine, if you are in an n-tier environment
    • The Cobra Concurrency machine
    • The machines where the Cobra Web Services are hosted
    • The dedicated Windows Domain Account that runs the Cobra Web Service and the Gateway
  • You must specify the Queue Name and Shared Folder fields on the Data Access tab of the Application Preferences dialog box in Cobra.
