To build samples and develop Apama applications using Apama APIs, you might need to install additional compilers. For details, see the Apama documentation.

To build samples and develop applications on supported Linux platforms using the C/C++ API, install the GCC-C++ package and all its dependencies. These are typically provided on the installation media as part of your operating system distribution.

Apama does not support Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux). If you are going to install on a Linux system, turn off this option.

If you are going to use the compiled Apama runtime, install the binutils package. For information about the compiled runtime, see the Apama documentation about starting the event correlator.

The file system to which the correlator writes its log files and persistence database can significantly affect the performance of latency-critical applications. File systems such as ext3, ext4, NFS, ZFS and GFS2 can have poor worst-case latency, especially when the system is loaded. For latency-critical applications, Software AG recommends using XFS where possible.
