IBM WebSphere Process Server, and IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Version 6.2.0, hardware and software requirements - Solaris on SPARC

This page describes the minimum product levels that must be installed before opening a problem report with the WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus support team. Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with minor updates to supported products if those updates are forward compatible. For additional information on available support for configurations that are not included in the following list, refer to support article WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus has grown and so have your requirements. The Product Support and Technical Support for minor forward-compatible updates is covered in the section "Other Configurations".

Supporting software (for example LDAP servers) can run, but does not need to run, on the same computer or operating system where the product runs. For additional information:

• Check supporting software requirements to determine whether the supporting software runs locally or is connected remotely to the product.
• Refer to the document corresponding to the operating system on which you want to run the supporting software, see:
  • List of supported operating systems for WebSphere Process Server Version 6.2.0
  • List of supported operating systems for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus Version 6.2.0

This document identifies supporting software that runs on the Solaris operating system on SPARC platforms.
