System requirements: Software requirements for IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition Version 8.4.3 Fix Pack 1

Product Documentation

Abstract

This page describes the minimum system requirements for the software to operate IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition V8.4.3 Fix Pack 1.

Important:
Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are forward compatible.

For detailed examples about what is supported, see the IBM Content Manager prerequisite support policy at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018047.

For Content Manager Enterprise Edition hardware requirements and Content Manager for z/OS software requirements, see the Related information links at the end of this document.
