System Requirements for WebSphere Message Broker V6.1 for Windows
|
| | | Abstract | | This document contains system requirements for the WebSphere Broker V6.1 products on Windows. | | | | | | | | Content | The Toolkit, Configuration Manager, User Name Server and Broker requirements for Windows are documented below.
Toolkit Requirements:
| Please read first |  | - WebSphere Message Broker, WebSphere MQ Integrator, and Integrator Broker product READMEs
- Where patches for a product are specified, this means that these patches were required to resolve problems found during testing and should therefore be considered as the minimum necessary maintenance level. Further maintenance should be applied in accordance with the guidance of the relevant software manufacturer.
- Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere Message Broker. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, WebSphere Message Broker has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere Message Broker Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.
| | Hardware Requirements | | - Windows x86 technology-compatible PC hardware, capable of running the required level of a compatible operating system with enough storage to meet the requirements of the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
