Check that your system meets the following hardware, software, database, and user account requirements.
IBM recommends that you run the InterChange Server on a dedicated system. The system should have restricted access to maintain security.
The following hardware requirements are suggested minimum
requirements. However, the actual hardware requirements for your system
may be greater, depending on the complexity of your specific environment,
throughput, and data object size. Also, the following information is
for the InterChange Server system only. If you choose to run other
applications on the same system, make appropriate adjustments.
If you are installing InterChange Server in a
high-availability environment, each machine in the cluster must also meet the
following requirements:
&box. |
Microsoft-certified cluster machine--Each machine in the cluster
must be a Microsoft certified cluster machine. To view a list of
Microsoft certified cluster machines, go to http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp,
select Cluster, then click Go.
|
&box. |
Shared disk subsystem with RAID (redundant arrays of independent
disks)--Both systems in the cluster must share a disk
subsystem. For best performance, the level of redundancy is RAID 0, but
RAID 1 is also acceptable.
|
The InterChange Server system requires software produced by other vendors
for its runtime and development environment.
Different system users and levels of access permissions are required for
security reasons. Make sure your environment has at least the following
user privileges:
InterChange Server is certified for use with Oracle Server 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.4 (9i), IBM DB2 version 8.1, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with service pack 3.
Check that the Oracle Server meets the following criteria:
&box. | Tablespace with data file names defined. IBM suggests CWROLLBACK, CWTEMP, and wicsrepos. |
&box. | At least 300 MB of disk space for the temp and rollback data files available. |
&box. | Rollback segments defined. IBM suggests CW_RBS1, CW_RBS2, CW_RBS3, CW_RBS4, and CW_RBS5. |
&box. | System and environment variables set. |
&box. | IBM suggests wicsrepos for both the database name and the SID (System ID) of the database. |
&box. | initcwld.ora parameter file with open_cursors parameter set to at least 500, and the rollback segments defined. |
&box. | Listener.ora file defined with SID_NAME = wicsrepos. |
&box. | Database name with the network protocol defined. IBM suggests wisrepos. |
&box. | wicsadmin user with resource and DBA (database administrator) privileges. |
Check that the SQL Server meets the following criteria:
&box. | wicsadmin user with table creation privileges created |
&box. | 50 MB of disk space for data files available for the repository database (wicsrepos) |
&box. | 40 user connections configured |
&box. | 50 MB of disk space available for the mapping tables (optional) |
&box. | Logging configured for Truncate Log on Checkpoint |
Check that the DB2 Server meets the following criteria:
&box. | wicsadmin user with table creation privileges created |
&box. | 50 MB of disk space for data files available for the repository database (icsrepos) |
&box. | The maxappls and maxagents parameters configured with a minimum of 50 user connections each |
&box. | 50 MB of disk space available for the mapping tables (optional) |
&box. | Maximum application heap size configured to be at least 2048 |
