Software prerequisites

Prerequisites for IBM Content Collector Server

The following table describes the operating system and other software that is required on the system where IBM Content Collector Server is installed.

Important:

On a 64-bit operating system, IBM Content Collector Server runs in 32-bit compatibility mode. Therefore, IBM Content Collector Server requires the 32-bit version of all software prerequisites.
For performance reasons, do not colocate the IBM Content Collector Server and the archive system on one server in a production environment. This setup can be used for testing or demonstration purposes, but it is not officially supported.
The server where IBM Content Collector is installed must not have the role of a domain controller.

One of the following operating systems (required)	One or more of the following connectors (depending on the archive systems in use)	Other software (must be 32-bit)	Notes
Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition (32-bit or 64-bit) with Service Pack 2 or Release 2 with Service Pack 1 on x86 or x86-64 Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition (32-bit or 64-bit) with Service Pack 2 or Release 2 with Service Pack 1 on x86 or x86-64 Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (32-bit or 64-bit) with Service Pack 2 or Release 2 on x86 or x86-64 Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (32-bit or 64-bit) with Service Pack 2 or Release 2 on x86 or x86-64	DB2 Information Integrator for Content for IBM Content Manager V8.x repositories. See IBM Content Manager 8.x. FileNet Content Engine Enterprise Manager SnapIn and Java client for IBM FileNet P8 repositories. See IBM FileNet P8. Panagon Web Services 4.x and client libraries if IBM FileNet Image Services is used as a repository. See IBM FileNet P8.	Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 (for Windows 2003) or Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (for Windows 2008)	Windows 2008 R2 comes with Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed.
		Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 3.0 (KB943508) or Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation	Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 3.0 is required for only the P8 connector. Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation is supported only for SSL connections.

How to get:

Go to the IBM Support Portal at http://www.ibm.com/support and search for IBM Content Manager, IBM FileNet P8, and IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

You can purchase Oracle from www.oracle.com and Microsoft SQL Server from www.microsoft.com.

Web server applications

IBM WebSphere Application Server

IBM Content Collector requires IBM WebSphere Application Server to run the configuration Web service and to perform search and restore operations. Typically, there is no need to check for compatible versions because IBM Content Collector comes with an embedded version of WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0. Note, however, that if you use an Oracle 10g database with WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0, the Oracle 11g JDBC driver is required.

If you decide not to use the embedded WebSphere Application Server, you can use an existing WebSphere Application Server. IBM Content Collector supports the 32-bit base edition of IBM WebSphere Application Server for Windows, versions 6.1.0.17 (or later) or 7.0 (or later). The Network Deployment edition or editions for other operating systems are not supported.

If you use an existing WebSphere Application Server, make sure that the following prerequisites that are required for IBM Content Collector server are also installed on the separate WebSphere Application Server:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update
