Body
Requirements for Developer Machine
Developers working with the MIH Workbench require a large software stack. This requirement can
have resource implications for the hardware used by the development team. It is recommended that
each developer's machine meet the following specifications:
Operating System:
One of the following;
· Windows 7
· Windows XP
Database:
- IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition 9.7
- IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition v9.5 Fix Pack 4
- IBM DB2 client v9.1, v9.5, or v9.7
- IBM DB2 Connect Application Edition v9.1, v9.5 or v9.7
- Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 2
- Oracle 11 client and sqlldr utility – this is included with Oracle 11g Database
- Oracle 11 JDBC driver
Development Tool:
One of the following;
· IBM Rational Software Architect v7.5.4
· IBM Rational Application Developer v7
· InfoSphere Master Information Hub (MIH) Workbench plugin
· InfoSphere Master Information Hub distribution file MIH90_WAS_AIX.tar.gz
Application server:
- IBM WebSphere Application Server v7.0
Optional Software:
· Virtualization:
o VMware workstation v8
· Browsers:
o One of the following
-
-
- Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
- Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7.x
-
When possible, it is recommended that developers use a 64-bit version of Windows
running on a Virtual machine with up to 4GB of memory. MIH Workbench can work
with less powerful hardware, but productivity may be impacted by the demands of the
large software stack.
