Product Documentation
Abstract
This page describes the minimum system requirements for the software to operate IBM® DB2® Content Manager Enterprise Edition V8.4.2.
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 DB2 Content Manager Enterprise Edition V8.4.2 hardware requirements, see the Related Information link at the bottom of this document.
Requirements for DB2 Content Manager for z/OS® V8.4.2 are listed separately. See the Related information link at the bottom of this document.
