On-premise overview

Choose the embedded suite, the external-Elasticsearch suite, or connector-only as a system package or portable installation.

  • Full-suite RPM/DEB: system services plus embedded Elasticsearch.
  • External-suite RPM/DEB: backend, UI, and connector without bundled Elasticsearch.
  • Connector-only RPM/DEB: SAP extraction near the source.
  • Portable/non-root: the same three variants under an application user.

Validate the host, RFC network, disk, API port, asset checksum, and Elasticsearch policy before installation. After installing the selected package, activate or install its license; product data and extraction do not start without a valid license. Complete /setup, then verify package capability, health, and ingestion. External setup may remain pending temporarily while administrative functions stay available.

System packages provide root-owned code separation. Portable is isolated below $SPOT_HOME, but compromise of its owner can modify the code.
