System requirements

Before you can install the adapter, you must be able to connect to a fully-functioning IBM® SPSS® Collaboration and Deployment Services repository. System requirements for this are given in the Installation and Configuration Guide for the appropriate repository version. Kerberos credentials are supported for running jobs and managing user roles.

IBM Installation Manager 1.9.1 must be installed on the machine where the adapter will be installed, and it must be configured to use the installation files. See the following section.

Note: Installing and running the adapter will consume additional resources of the repository host, most importantly memory. It is recommended that, prior to installation, you consult the application server documentation to confirm you have sufficient memory for your selected application server.

The repository server needs to have a valid Java Runtime Environment (JRE) set up in the PATH or JAVA_HOME environment variables, otherwise installation will fail.

Make sure you have sufficient free disk space before starting installation. A minimum of 10 GB is recommended. This installation is for the 8.x version of the adapters and uses IBM Installation Manager to install all the adapters at the same time, so the installation may take longer than in previous releases.

If not present already, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 runtime library will be installed on the machine where the adapter will be installed.
