Civic Platform Components
Topics
Basic components
Web Server – Civic Platform packages Wildfly with Civic Platform components and deploys these to the web server. The web server receives instructions to construct and deliver web pages to a Civic Platform browser-based client, and provides information from the browser-based client to the application server for processing.
ColdFusion MX Web Server – Civic Platform deploys this third-party tool to a web server, which provides the user interface environment for the Classic Admin pages.
Application Server – Civic Platform packages Wildfly with Civic Platform components and deploys these to the application server, which executes the main functionality of Civic Platform. The application server retrieves and writes record content to the database, and integrates with the web server to send and receive information to and from the client.
Database Server – Civic Platform deploys components into an existing database (Oracle or SQL Server), which stores all Civic Platform record content (except attachments).
Optional components
Index Server – Provides the ability to perform global full-text searches across all Civic Platform records. Without the index server, Civic Platform can only perform exact match searches for record metadata within specified application types.
Accela Report Writer (ARW) Server – Generates reports of information stored in the Civic Platform database.
Accela Document Services (ADS) Server – Provides access to stored documents. ADS uses a different database instance than Civic Platform and ARW.
