System requirements for InfoSphere Data Event Publisher Version 9.7

Before you install InfoSphere® Data Event Publisher, ensure that the system you choose meets the necessary operating system, hardware, software, and communications requirements.

The system requirements are listed in Table 1.

Note: For Event Publishing, WebSphere® MQ V6.0 64-bit client or server or WebSphere MQ V7.0 client or server is required. A restricted use license of WebSphere MQ V7.0 is included with InfoSphere Data Event Publisher. See WebSphere MQ system requirements for more details.

AIX Version 5.3
64-bit AIX kernel is required, AIX 5.3 Technology Level (TL) 9 and Service Pack (SP) 2.
AIX Version 6.1 2
64-bit AIX kernel is required; AIX 6.1 TL 2. POWER7® systems require AIX 6.1 TL 4
AIX Version 7.1 3
  • 64-bit AIX kernel is required
  • AIX 7.1.0 General Availability (GA)
  • Minimum C++ runtime level requires the xlC.rte 11.1.0.0 and xlC.aix61.rte 11.1.0.0 (or later) filesets. These filesets are included in the April 2010 IBM® C++ Runtime Environment Components for AIXV11.1 package.
2 In AIX 6.1 there are two types of Workload Partitions (WPARs): system WPARs and application WPARs. Installation is supported only on a system WPAR. AIX 6.1 also supports the ability to encrypt a JFS2 file system or set of files.

3 To use the High Availability (HA) Feature, you need to apply Version 9.7 Fix Pack 3 or a later fix pack. These fix packs contain an updated version of IBM Tivoli® System Automation for Multiplatforms (SA MP) Base Component.

64-bit Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) architecture, excluding POWER3 processor-based systems.1

All processors that are capable of running the supported AIX operating systems.

1 To verify that it is a CHRP architecture system, issue the command Iscfg and look for the following output: Model Archtecture: chrp. For POWER3 processor-based systems, first upgrade to POWER4 processor-based systems before installing Version 9.7. POWER3 processor-based systems are not supported in Version 9.7.
