Prerequisite software for the database server

You must install the required software on the database server, including any fix packs, patches, or other service updates.

For more information, see the Supported Environments.

Table 1. Supported database server software
Database server software	Version
IBM® Db2®	11.5.5 or 11.5.8 with Special Build 29133 or later Advanced Edition 11.5.5 is the minimum supported version. For more details, see the Supported Environments. If you are installing the database server on a Microsoft Windows operating system, ensure that the C:\ drive contains a minimum of 8 GB of free disk space for temporary files that are created during the installation. If you are installing the database server on a Linux® operating system, ensure that the temp directory contains sufficient free disk space for log files that are created during the installation. Note: Use the same version of the Db2 client on your application servers and reporting servers.
Oracle	Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) 19c (19.3 and later 19.x) Oracle Standard Edition 2 (SE2) 19c (19.3 and later 19.x) Note: Use the same version of the Oracle client software on your application servers and reporting servers. Oracle RAC IBM OpenPages® with Watson™ is Oracle RAC tolerant but not Oracle RAC aware. This means that OpenPages will work within an Oracle RAC environment, but OpenPages does not support any of the Oracle RAC high availability features. If a node failure occurs, then any in-process transactions will fail, and you will need to rerun them. This also means that the OpenPages product documentation is primarily geared toward single instance Oracle deployments. Further, all internal testing is performed with a single Oracle instance. You might need to make configuration changes to use OpenPages within an Oracle RAC environment, and it is up to you to determine and implement those changes.
