The amount of random access memory (RAM) needed depends on the applications you intend to run. We suggest that you have a minimum of 64 MB of RAM to access host or AS/400 databases using DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition. This amount of memory is for a base of 5 concurrent client connections. You will need an additional 16 MB of RAM per 5 clients. Also, the DB2 administration tools require a minimum of 128 MB of RAM.
| Note: | The DB2 administration tools are a set of DB2 GUI tools that include the Client Configuration Assistant (not available on UNIX platforms), the Control Center, the Command Center, the Event Analyzer, and the Event Monitor. |
To run a DB2 Run-Time Client or a DB2 Application Development Client, you need a minimum of 16 MB of memory. If you are planning to run a DB2 Administration Client, you need a minimum of 32 MB of memory.
