DATABridge 6.2 Service Pack 2 (SP2) Supported Platforms and System Requirements

This technical note lists the system requirements for DATABridge Host, DATABridge Enterprise Server, and DATABridge Client: Windows, UNIX, and Linux.

To install and run DATABridge 6.2 SP2, your system must meet the following hardware and software requirements. Specific requirements vary based on your hardware and other software components present.

Installation instructions for this service pack are provided in KB 7021919 and in the Read Me file (readme.txt).

Note: For version 6.3 requirements (May 2015), see KB 7021922.

DATABridge Host

• Unisys mainframe system with an MCP level SSR 51.1 through 57.1
• DMSII software (including the DMALGOL compiler)
• DMSII database DESCRIPTION, CONTROL, DMSUPPORT library, and audit files
• Access to an audited DMSII database

DATABridge Enterprise Server

This list assumes that the Enterprise Server machine is connected to a Unisys mainframe system running DATABridge Host 6.x and to a system running DATABridge Client 6.x.

• ClearPath PC with Logical disks or MCP disks (VSS disks in MCP format)

• Visibility to MCP disks on a storage area network (recommended)
• TCP/IP transport
• An internet browser is required to view the application Help. JavaScript must be enabled to use navigation, search, and other Help features. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, and Google Chrome.

DATABridge Client Console

You can install Client Console to the same machine as the Client; however, this can drain resources and impact the performance of your relational database. Instead, we recommend that you install the Client Console to a machine that connects to the Client machine via TCP/IP transport.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 Update 26 (1.60_26) or later. To reduce security threats and vulnerabilities, we recommend that you download the JRE from www.java.com and configure it to receive updates automatically.

DATABridge Client

Disk space requirements for replicated DMSII data are not included here. Your relational database should have, at minimum, twice as much disk space as the DMSII data you plan to clone. For best results, use a RAID disk array and store the client files on a separate disk from the database storage.

Client - Windows

• Unisys ES7000

• 2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended)
• 100 GB of disk space (in addition to disk space for the relational database built from DMSII data)
• TCP/IP transport
• One of the following operating systems:

• One of the following databases:

Client - UNIX and Linux

• One of the following systems:
  • Sun Microsystems SPARCstation running Solaris 10 or later, and Oracle 9i, 10g Release 2, 11g, or 12c
  • Hewlett Packard Itanium with HP-UX 11i v3 (B11.31) running Oracle 10g Release 2, or 11g
  • Hewlett Packard 9000 Series 700 or 800 with HP-UX 11i v2 running Oracle 10g Release 2, 11g, or 9i
  • IBM pSeries running AIX 5.3L or later, and Oracle 9i, 10g Release 2, 11g, or 12c
  • Intel Pentium with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 4 or later, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 or later, or UBUNTU Linux 7.1 or later running Oracle 9i, 10g Release 2, 11g, or 12c
• 2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended)
• 100 GB of free disk space for installation (in addition to disk space for the relational database built from DMSII data)
• TCP/IP transport

Note: Oracle 12c clients exist only in 64-bit. For Oracle 9i on Linux, we provide only a 32-bit client.
