System Requirements

Your system configuration depends upon which systems you use and how you intend to use Java CAPS. The requirements listed in this topic are in addition to the supported operating system requirements.

Mozilla Firefox Version

Java CAPS supports Mozilla Firefox v. 2.0 or above for accessing all Java CAPS browser components.

Internet Explorer Version

Java CAPS supports Internet Explorer 6.0 (Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2) and Internet Explorer 7.0 for accessing all Java CAPS browser components.

Repository and Domain Firewall Port Requirements

When you have a firewall in place between a Repository Server and a domain, selected ports must be open in order for monitoring to function properly.

• For Repository ports, ensure that the following monitor-side ports are open:

  • Base port +4 (RMI Connector)

  • Base port +5 (HTTP Connector)

  For example, if the default port is 12000, the RMI Connector port would be 12004 and the HTTP Connector port would be 12005.

• For domain ports, ensure that the following domain-side ports are open:

  • Base port +0 (HTTP Connector)

  • Base port +1 (RMI)

  • Base port +2

  For example, if the default port is 18000, the HTTP Connector port would be 18000, the RMI port would be 18001.

Java CAPS Installation Requirements

To install Java CAPS you need:

• For the installation executable file: 800+ MB

• For a complete Java CAPS installation

  • Sun Solaris: 3.25 GB

  • Apple Macintosh: 1.5 GB

  • IBM AIX: 1.75 GB (does not include NetBeans IDE)

  • Microsoft Windows: 1.5 GB

  • Red Hat and SUSE Linux: 1.5 GB

Windows System Requirements

The following table lists the minimum requirements for installing and running each of the Java CAPS components on a Windows system. The RAM and disk space requirements do not take into consideration the RAM and disk space required by the operating system. For the best performance, you should install these components on different systems. However, if you choose to install some or all of these components on the same machine (for example, in a test environment), keep in mind that the requirements for each additional component are cumulative.

Windows System Requirements

Component CPU RAM Disk Space Repository 1.2 GHz 240 MB 1.2 GB Enterprise Manager 1.2 GHz 400 MB 170 MB Note - For Sun Java System Application Server requirements, see Supported Platforms in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1-9.1 Update 2 Release Notes For NetBeans IDE requirements, see http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/61/relnotes.html

Additionally, to use the Sun Enterprise Service Bus on Windows, you need two of the following:

• A TCP/IP network connection

• Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 or Internet Explorer 7.0

• Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above

Additional Windows Considerations

• The disk space requirement listed for the Domain does not include space for the queues and log files that are created by the user as Integration and Message Services are executed.

• The Sun Enterprise Service Bus GUI is supported when using Microsoft Terminal Services©, but not with other “remote” Windows tools.

UNIX and Linux System Requirements

The following tables list the minimum requirements for installing the Repository and Domain on various UNIX and Linux systems. The RAM and disk space requirements do not take into consideration the RAM and disk space required by the operating system. For the best performance, you should install these components on different systems. However, if you choose to install these components on the same machine (for example, in a test environment), keep in mind that the requirements for each additional component are cumulative.

Dual (or multi) CPUs are recommended for best performance of the Domain, especially if you run the Repository and the Domain on the same system.

UNIX and Linux System Requirements

Platform Component CPU RAM Disk Space IBM AIX Repository 450 MHz 180 MB 900 MB Enterprise Manager 450 MHz 400 MB 180 MB Linux (Red Hat and SUSE) Repository 1.2 GHz 240 MB 900 MB Enterprise Manager 1.2 GHz 400 MB 180 MB Sun Solaris Repository 400 MHz 240 MB 850 MB Enterprise Manager 400 MHz 400 MB 210 MB Note - For Sun Java System Application Server requirements, see Supported Platforms in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1-9.1 Update 2 Release Notes For NetBeans IDE, see http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/61/relnotes.html

Additionally, to use the Enterprise Service Bus on UNIX, you need:

• A TCP/IP network connection

• FTP and Telnet capabilities

• Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above

Additional UNIX Considerations

The disk space requirement listed for the Domain does not include space for the queues and log files that are created by the user as Integration and Message Services are executed.

IBM AIX Specific Requirements

On IBM AIX, the Java Composite Application Platform Suite supports both 32- and 64-bit platforms. For your system to function properly, ensure that you install the correct SAR file.

Macintosh System Requirements

The following table lists the minimum requirements for installing and running each of the Java CAPS components on a Macintosh' system. The RAM and disk space requirements do not take into consideration the RAM and disk space required by the operating system. For the best performance, you should install these components on different systems. However, if you choose to install some or all of these components on the same machine (for example, in a test environment), keep in mind that the requirements for each additional component are cumulative.

Macintosh System Requirements

Component CPU RAM Disk Space Repository 1.2 GHz 500 MB 250 MB Enterprise Manager 1.2 GHz 400 MB 100 MB Note - For Sun Java System Application Server requirements, see Supported Platforms in Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 Update 1-9.1 Update 2 Release Notes For NetBeans IDE requirements, see http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/61/relnotes.html

Additionally, to use the Sun Enterprise Service Bus on Macintosh systems, you need two of the following:

• A TCP/IP network connection

• Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 or Internet Explorer 7.0

• Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above

Note - The disk space requirement listed for the Domain does not include space for the queues and log files that are created by the user as Integration and Message Services are executed.
