Basic install

This topic describes how to install Release in a standard installation - either a simple setup with the default configuration, or a manual setup in which you can choose specific options. If you are installing Release in a production-ready environment that includes options like a separate database server, load balancing for your Release servers, an active/active cluster configuration for your Release servers, and other security, monitoring, and performance considerations, see Production environment install.

Cluster mode

This topic describes how to install and upgrade Release as a cluster. Running Release in a cluster mode lets you have a Highly Available (HA) Release setup. Release supports the following HA mode.

Configure the SQL repository

Digital.ai Release stores its data in a repository. By default, this repository is an embedded database stored in XLRELEASESERVERHOME/repository. Completed releases and reporting information are stored in another database called archive. By default, this is also an embedded database stored in XLRELEASESERVERHOME/archive. Embedded databases are automatically created when Release is started for the first time. They are used to simplify the setup for evaluation and test environments. For production use, you must use an industrial-grade external database server.

HTTP CSRF Protection

This topic covers Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), a class of attack that forces an authenticated end user to execute unwanted actions on an application. You can configure CSRF protection in Release.

HTTP GZIP Compression

You can configure GZIP compression in Release. GZIP compression is used to decrease the size of server responses and save bandwidth usage. There is a small overhead of server CPU usage to compress content. It is enabled by default, but you may want to adjust the settings depending on your use case.
