If you are installing the RSA Archer Platform on multiple web servers, which components should you select to install during the first installation?
The correct answer is D. All three of these components. When deploying RSA Archer across multiple web servers, all three components must be installed on the first server to establish the complete foundational environment before additional servers are added.

Why each option
When deploying RSA Archer across multiple web servers, all three components must be installed on the first server to establish the complete foundational environment before additional servers are added.
Installing only the Database on the first server would leave the application services and web framework unconfigured, making the environment non-functional and incomplete for additional servers to reference.
Installing only Archer Services without the database and framework would create orphaned services with no data store or application layer to support them.
Installing only the Archer SmartSuite Framework without the database or services would result in a web layer with no backend, making the installation non-functional.
The first installation must include all three components - Database, Archer Services, and Archer SmartSuite Framework - because they form an interdependent stack that must be fully initialized before subsequent web servers can join the deployment. The database schema must be created and populated, services must be configured, and the SmartSuite Framework must be registered during this initial setup. Subsequent servers can then be added by installing only the web-tier components and pointing them to the shared database and services already established.
