Unica Interact components

You must install a single instance of the Unica Interact design time environment. In the design time environment, you define events, interaction points, smart segments, and treatment rules. You can install multiple Unica Interact runtime servers to present offers to the customers.

Before you install the UnicaInteract design time environment, you must install and configure Unica Campaign and an associated instance of Unica Platform.

Before you install the Interact runtime environment, you must install a separate instance of Unica Platform. A runtime environment must have an instance of Unica Platform and at least one instance of the Interact runtime server. You can configure multiple instances of the Interact runtime server to work in the same runtime environment.

For best performance, install a runtime server on its own workstation, where no other Unica products are installed.

The following table describes the components that you can select when you install Interact:

Component Description

Interact Runtime Environment

The Interact runtime server.

You can integrate Interact runtime servers with a touchpoint, such as a website, to present offers that are based on real-time data.

You can install multiple runtime servers in your environment and organize them into server groups. Each server group must have one instance of Unica Platform that must be separate from the Unica Platform for Unica Campaign and separate from other server groups.
Interact Design Time Environment

The design time environment for Interact.

You must install the design time environment on the same computer as Unica Campaign. You must install only one design time environment.
Unica Interact Extreme Scale Server Extreme Scale is not supported in the 11.1 release.
Unica Interact Pattern State ETL To process large amounts of Unica Interact event pattern data and to make that data available for queries and reporting purposes, by default a Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process is installed on any supported server for optimal performance.
