Express Installation Worksheets

Use the express installation worksheet to plan the layout of your system.


  1. Decide which components you need to install. The following components are optional for a production system:
    • Publisher API: Used by developers to write feed handlers.

    • Demo Feed Handler and Demo Subscribers: components used only for demonstrating the system.

    • FAST Feed Handler: required only if you intend to receive market data messages from a FAST encoded feed.

    • Samples: sample queries and sample data (this component does not require any configuration and so it does not appear on this worksheet).

  2. Use this worksheet to plan the layout of your system. This worksheet lists the information for which the installer will prompt.

Note:

The installer installs components in a different order than is listed here.
