Operating Environments (OEs) are tested and integrated application bundles designed to work with the operating system and provide the functionality needed for your system's purpose. The HP-UX 11i v2 OEs include the following:

HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE (FOE) â Designed for the demands of Web servers, content servers, and front-end servers, this OE includes applications such as HP-UX Web Server Suite, Javaâ ¢, and Mozilla Application Suite. This OE is bundled as HPUX11i-OE.

HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE (EOE) â Designed for database application servers and logic servers, this OE contains the HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE bundles and additional applications such as GlancePlus Pak to enable an enterprise-level server. This OE is bundled as HPUX11i-OE-Ent.

HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE (MCOE) â Designed for the application servers and database servers, this OE contains the Enterprise OE bundles, plus applications such as HP Serviceguard and Workload Manager to enable a mission-critical server. This OE is bundled as HPUX11i-OE-MC.

HP-UX 11i v2 Minimal Technical OE (MTOE) â Designed for workstations running HP-UX 11i v2, this OE includes the Mozilla Application Suite, Perl, VxVM, and Judy applications, plus the OpenGL Graphics Developer's Kit. This OE is bundled as HPUX11i-MTOE.

Nice topic Badrinath,
in simple words,
HP-UX Base OS + certain critical add-on products -> A specific OE.

The HP-UX 11i v2 OEs include the following:
1. HP-UX 11i v2 Foundation OE (FOE)
2. HP-UX 11i v2 Enterprise OE (EOE)
3. HP-UX 11i v2 Mission Critical OE (MCOE)
4. HP-UX 11i v2 Technical Computing OE (TCOE)

FOE is the Base HP-UX OS + applications such as HP-UX Web Server Suite, Java, and
Mozilla Application Suite.

FOE is the basic OE.

FOE + online JFS, mirrordisk/UX, PRM, GlancePlus, EMS ---> EOE

EOE + Serviceguard, WLM, Enterprise Cluster Master ----> Mission Critical OE
MOE focuses mainly on high availability. name itself telling "Mission critical" OE.


The concept of OE's is mainly for:
*Easier ordering
*Easier license management
*50% shorter installation time
*Simpler support contracts
