Before you install WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker,
you must check that your system meets the hardware and operating system software
requirements set for this product and the components you intend to install
on it. These are detailed in Supported operating environments.
In
addition, you must check that the system has communications hardware that
supports at least one of the following protocols:
- NetBIOS
- SNA LU 6.2
- SPX
- TCP/IP
WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker also has the following
system storage requirements:
- 512 MB of RAM to support runtime operations.
- Disk space dependent on the components that you install and the working
space that is required by those components (for example, for WebSphere MQ queues
and persistent messages). The following table provides figures for guidance
that might vary with different operating systems. If you install just one
or two of the runtime components, the storage required is reduced by only
a small amount.

If you install DB2 as part of the WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker installation,
you need an additional 360 MB of disk space.
- Database space. On systems on which you create a Configuration Manager,
approximately 10 MB are required for the configuration repository.
On systems on which you create a broker, approximately 10 MB is required for
the broker tables. If you create user databases that are
accessed by message flows, additional space is required on those systems.
- Temporary disk space. You might also need between 150 MB and 300 MB of
additional space for temporary files. This space is required in the location
pointed to by the TEMP system variable, not in
the folder into which you install the product. These temporary files are deleted
when installation has completed.
