About the Installable Version
The installable version of the platform lets you create and manage a private cloud behind your corporate firewall. It can also be used to set up a public cloud that serves multiple clients--generally with a shared application and global data. This page highlights changes to the installation process, along with features of the new release.
Platform Functionality
New Platform Features
- Many new features have been added to the platform. For a complete list, see the platform Release Notes.
Installable Version Functionality
These new and changed features are of interest to those who maintain an instance of the platform's installable version:
Platform-Version Detected During Package Installation
- When a tenant admin attempts to install an application package, the platform version the package was created in is checked against the version of the platform that the tenant is using. An error or warning message is issued if the package's platform version is larger than the version into which it is being installed.

Security Upgrade
- Files that contain null characters can no longer be uploaded to the platform.
- (The operating system sees a null character as end-of-file, which allows a malicious script to be embedded after the null.)
Installing and Upgrading
Installation Notes
Ensure that Software Requirements are Met
- Before starting either a First-Time Installation or a platform upgrade, ensure that dependent utilities are at the minimum levels specified in the Software Requirements.
JAVA 7.0 IS REQUIRED
- In particular, note that the Java 7.0 JDK is required for installation, as mentioned in the Software Requirements. In addition to its other advantages, Java 7.0 guards against files that contain null bytes, so it is a critical part of the security upgrade mentioned previously.
IMPORTANT: REPUBLISH ALL PACKAGES
- After installing, republish all packages that were made available in the prior version.
- (Settings for the Report tab were added in the 2 Jun 2014 upgrade. Those settings would not exist in a package published from a previous version of the platform.)
