You should verify that all requirements have been met before you begin installing DTP, migrating from Concerto (4.x) to DTP, or upgrading to a new version of DTP.
In this section:
64-bit versions are required for all platforms. DTP requires 64-bit Java Runtime Environment.
The following versions are supported:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 is required.
You can install DTP on Linux distributions that support 64-bit Java Runtime Environments (e.g., Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10, or RHEL Server 6.x).
A dedicated non-root user account is recommended for installing and managing DTP on Linux. A non-root user account is required for installing and managing DTP distributions that include an embedded database server.
The following versions are supported:
A dedicated non-root user account for installing and managing DTP is recommended.
If your DTP is installed on Solaris/Sparc, you can install the DTP Enterprise Pack on a separate Windows or Linux system. Parasoft does not support Solaris on x86 platform. Contact your sales representative or support for additional questions. |
If you are installing DTP on a virtual machine (VM), make sure to allocate enough resources. Running DTP on a physical machine may result in greater performance.
An additional 4 GB of RAM is recommended if you are installing DTP Enterprise Pack.
Before you begin installation, you should verify that the necessary ports are available:
| Default Port | Description |
|---|---|
| 80 (Windows), 8080 (Linux) | DTP Server |
| 443 (Windows and Linux) | SSL Connector |
| 2002 | License Server |
| 8082 | Data Collector for Parasoft analysis engines and third-party integrations. |
| 8787 | Used by the embedded database server shipped with distribution; this port is non-configurable. |
| 18888 | Team Server |
| 3306 | Default port used for sending and retrieving MySQL data. |
| 1521 | Default port used for sending and retrieving Oracle data. |
| 32323 | Data Collector for Parasoft 9.x code analysis and testing products. See Legacy 9.x Functionality for information about the Data Collector port used with Parasoft 9.x products. |
| 61617 | JMS events broker |
| 1883 | MQTT transport connector |
You can customize the DTP Server ports as necessary. See Reconfiguring DTP Ports (Optional).

| Default Port | Description |
|---|---|
| 8000 | Policy Center; access to Policy Center depends on your license. |
| 8314 | Extension Designer; accessing Extension Designer depends on your license. |
| 8315 | Extension Designer; accessing Extension Designer depends on your license. |
| 8316 | Embedded MongoDB database for DTP Enterprise Pack. |
| 8320-8399 | DTP Enterprise Pack services. |
The latest version of the following browsers are supported:
You may run up against a limit imposed on Linux or Solaris platforms on the per-process number of open file descriptors. The limit affects the number of allowable concurrent open connections that DTP can safely support. If many concurrent users will interact with DTP components, such as Report Center Dashboard or REST APIs, you should increase the open file descriptor limit before starting DTP.
Parasoft recommends setting the limit to approximately 100 times the number of concurrent users logged in. For example, if you expect 100 concurrent users, an open file descriptor limit of 10,000 should be sufficient.
Server behavior is inconsistent across operating systems, so you should use discretion when determining the proper limit for your environment. Methods for increasing the limit vary widely for different distributions. Consult your operating system documentation to determine whether it is possible to increase the limit and how to do so.
The installation machine must have a program installed that can unzip compressed folders and files.
