Codebeamer + Thingworx Platform and Flow Install

[rhart]

Is it ok to install Thingworx Platform and Flow on the same VM as Codebeamer and postgreSQL or should they be on a separate server? This is for Windchill-codebeamer integration.

Hi @rhart ,

Codebeamer and ThingWorx are both resource-intensive Java applications, each running its own Tomcat service and handling large heap memory operations. PostgreSQL also needs consistent disk I/O and memory access. Running all three on one VM leads to contention, slow response times, and instability.

Recommended setup:

• VM 1: Codebeamer application

• VM 2: PostgreSQL database

• VM 3: ThingWorx Platform and Flow

They can communicate over HTTPS without issue.

For testing or small demos, you can host them on a single VM if you allocate high resources (≥ 16 CPU, 64 GB RAM), but for Windchill-Codebeamer integration in production, always separate them.

Thanks,
