System requirements

System requirements are highly variable, depending partly on the features of Global Name Management used by an application but mostly on the number of name records loaded into a search engine.

Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, every possible configuration cannot be tested. In general Global Name Management components will continue to behave as expected with updates to supported products if those updates are backward-compatible.

Support entitlement is dependent upon license and maintenance agreements for Global Name Management for specific versions and is limited to use of the relevant prerequisite with a supported product.

Software requirements

To obtain the most current information about software installation requirements, view the software compatibility report for Global Name Management 7.0.

Note: Verify the installation of appropriate system support components. Global Name Management components are built with specific compiler levels so the support files for those compiler levels must be present for these components to operate correctly. The compiler levels are included in the platform names (such as rhel-gcc83-release and win-vc16-release).

Hardware requirements

Hardware requirements vary for Global Name Management and depend on the network and the client workstations and server machines that run the applications. Review the following information to better understand the requirements for client workstations and search server machines.
