Use a custom installation to install certain features of Event Stream Processor. You can also use a custom installation to install Event Stream Processor components to different machines. You can install the Server and Studio only; the Server and Studio with any combination of external and enterprise adapters; or any combination of external and enterprise adapters without the Server and Studio.
Internal adapters are always installed with the server, whereas external and enterprise adapters can reside on any machine that has network access to an instance of the Event Stream Processor server.
Sybase recommends custom installations for production environments. The architecture of your installation—the number and location of server and Studio instances, the number of enterprise adapters, and so on—depends on your specific needs.
The steps involved in a custom installation are largely the same as those in a typical installation. However, in a custom installation, you select only the components you want to install.
