Chapter 2. System Requirements for CloverETL Server

CloverETL Server is a Java application distributed as a web application archive (.war) for an easy deployment on various application servers. It is compatible with Windows and Unix-like systems as well as several other operating systems. Since it is a Java application, it requires Java Development Kit (JDK) to run. We do not recommend using Java Runtime Environment (JRE) only, since compilation of some CloverETL Server's transformations requires JDK to function properly.

CloverETL Server requires a database as well. The evaluation version uses an embedded Apache Derby database for evaluation purposes. We do not recommend using the Derby database in production environment. Instead you can choose one of several supported database servers.
