Configure all machines involved in product installation and operation — This task depends on how you plan to distribute your product and its applications on a network. For more information on configuring OpenEdge products on a network, see ConfigurationModels.

Install the necessary product components — Typically, this involves installing, on one or more network machines, the OpenEdge Unified Broker product and additional software components that are required to use the product, such as OpenEdge client or Web server software. If you plan to configure fault-tolerant servers or use load balancing, you must install a product that includes load balancing, or install the load-balancing option for your product.
