Software requirements for WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition

All operating systems supported by Dynamic Workload Console are supported by IBM WebSphere™ Application Server, V8.5 Fix Pack 1. For more information about it, see: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27023941. In the information relating to hardware and memory requirements in this document, the application server is treated as part of Dynamic Workload Console, and its requirements are not listed separately.

Before apply the WebSphere Application Server later fixpacks ensure that they are supported also by Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub.

Supported Browsers

Dynamic Workload Console 9.2 requires a supported Web browser. Use one of the following browsers:

  • Firefox 24 ESR
  • Internet Explorer 9.0, 10.0

    Note: To correctly work with the Graphical View, Dashboard and event management using Internet Explorer 9.0 or 10.0, you must add the host name of the Dynamic Workload Console to the web sites used in Compatibility View by Internet Explorer. To do it, from Internet Explorer toolbar, click Tools > Compatibility View Settings and add the Dynamic Workload Console host name to the list.

Supported Browsers for mobile devices

To use Dynamic Workload Console 9.2 on mobile devices, use the default browsers on the following mobile platforms:

  • iOS based devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) with iOS V6.x and V7.x
  • Android-based devices with V4.0 and V4.2.2

Software requirements for the Launchpad

The Tivoli Workload Automation Launchpad is supported on all operating systems where Tivoli Workload Scheduler components can be installed.

If you use the launchpad, it requires a supported Web browser to be launched. Alternatively, you can always install the product by using the installation wizard or the silent installation.

For the launchpad, use one of the following browsers:

  • Firefox 2.0+
  • Internet Explorer 6.0+
  • Mozilla 1.7+
  • SeaMonkey 1.1.4+

These browsers are not all available on all platforms; some of them might only be available in a special version from the manufacturer of your operating system. See Table 2 for details:

Note
This information, plus other information about how to launch the launchpad, is provided, platform by platform, in a readme.txt file in the root of the Launchpad directory on each DVD or electronic download image. However, this document contains more up-to-date information than the readme files.

Supported LDAP Servers

For a list of the LDAP servers supported by Tivoli Workload Scheduler, go to the supported software for WebSphere Application Server website, click the appropriate MDM/DWC platform link and read the LDAP servers using Federated Repository Configuration section.

Support for Internet Protocol version 6

Dynamic Workload Console supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) in addition to IPv4. To help you in the transition from an IPv4 environment to a complete IPv6 environment, Tivoli Workload Scheduler provides IP dual-stack support. The product communicates using both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols simultaneously with other applications using IPv4 or IPv6.

Hardware requirements

Topics:

Permanent disk space requirements

The values indicated in the Table 3: Disk space (MB) required the Dynamic Workload Console show the disk space required by the Dynamic Workload Console alone. For the disk space required by WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere SDK Java Technology, Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub or by Tivoli Workload Scheduler, refer to the relevant documentation.

Table 3: Disk space (MB) required the Dynamic Workload Console

Linux x86 64 500 MB
Windows 64 1 GB

Memory requirements

Dynamic Workload Console memory requirements are:

Memory requirements for Installation Manager

Dynamic Workload Console is installed by using IBM Installation Manager. Table 5 summarizes the memory requirements (MB) indicated for running the Installation Manager in interactive or in silent mode.

Operating system Physical memory Temporary space
Windows 512 10
Solaris 512 10
Linux 512 10
AIX 1024 10

Note:

  • To run the Installation Manager GUI on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 (64-bit), the following operating system libraries are required:
    • libXtst+
    • compat-libstdc+
  • To run the Installation Manager GUI on AIX, ensure that the operating system has the required operating system libraries listed in the Required gtk libraries for Installation Manager on AIX
