This section shows the suggested amount of memory that is required to run a DB2 product. The memory requirements listed here are estimates; the actual amounts required depend on the functions you are using. Use this information to plan for systems with a large number of concurrent clients or databases.
The amount of memory that you require depends on the applications you intend to run. We suggest that you have a minimum of 32 MB of memory to access host or AS/400 databases using DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition.
Complete the provided worksheet in Table 1 and calculate the approximate values for memory that your
system will require.
Table 1. Memory Requirements for DB2 Connect
| Number of Clients Connecting to a Server | |
| ___ 5 Concurrent Connections | 64 MB |
| ___ 10 Concurrent Connections | 80 MB |
| ___ 25 Concurrent Connections | 96 MB |
| ___ 50 Concurrent Connections | 186 MB |
| ___ DB2 Administration Tools | 30 MB |
| Total Memory Requirements | __ MB |
The amount of memory you require to run a DB2 Run-Time Client is approximately 16 MB. If you are planning to run a DB2 Administration Client, your client workstation should have approximately 32 MB of available memory.
