Notes:

  1. The Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console and the Job Scheduling Console are included in this table to aid you in planning. Their hardware and software requirements are documented in the following documents:
  2. The z-centric and dynamic capabilities are not supported for this agent.
  3. Supports the cluster configuration.
  4. The Job Scheduling Console is not supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.

Supported operating systems for the prerequisite database

Tivoli Workload Scheduler requires the use of either the DB2® or the Oracle relational database. You can also use the Informix Dynamic Server database. The supported operating systems are as follows:

DB2
Tivoli Workload Scheduler requires version 9.1 or 9.5 of DB2

Note: Support for version 8.2 (or 8.1 with Fix Pack 7) or later, of DB2 is continued only for the completion of the upgrade of Tivoli Workload Scheduler from version 8.3 or 8.4. After the upgrade is completed, the database must be upgraded or migrated to a supported level. This is because versions of DB2 prior to 9.1 are no longer current, and support cannot be offered if problems occur when using them.

Bundled DB2
Tivoli Workload Scheduler is supplied with a version of the DB2 server and client for the supported operating systems. This version can be installed by you separately before the product installation using the launchpad. Refer to Table 4 for details about the DB2 bundled versions for each of the supported operating system, and the operating systems patch levels required.
Note:
The bundled version of DB2 is provided solely for use with Tivoli Workload Scheduler (see the product license for details).

To determine the supported operating systems for a version of DB2 other than the bundled version, see the DB2 documentation.

Oracle
Tivoli Workload Scheduler requires the use of the following versions of Oracle, with or without the partitioning option installed (using Oracle without the partitioning option affects the event driven workload scheduling performance):
  • Oracle Database 10g Release 2 - Standard Edition (10.2.0.x) or later. This version does not support the partitioning feature.
  • Oracle Database 10g Release 2 - Enterprise Edition (10.2.0.x) or later.
  • Oracle Database 11g Release 1 - Standard Edition (11.1.0.x) or later. This version does not support the partitioning feature.
  • Oracle Database 11g Release 1 - Enterprise Edition (11.1.0.x) or later.

The Oracle database software is not supplied with Tivoli Workload Scheduler. You must use your own version of the Oracle database software. For a complete list of supported operating systems for Oracle see the Oracle documentation.

Note: Support for 9i Release 2 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition of Oracle is continued only for the completion of the upgrade of Tivoli Workload Scheduler from version 8.3 or 8.4. After the upgrade is completed, the database must be upgraded or migrated to a supported level. This is because versions of Oracle prior to 10g Release 2 are no longer current, and support cannot be offered if problems occur when using them.

Informix Dynamic Server
Tivoli Workload Scheduler requires the use of Informix Dynamic Server database 11.50UC4 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux System x AMD64.

Supported operating systems for the bundled application server

IBM WebSphere™ Application Server, V6.1 Base version with Fix Pack FP0000023 and IFPK91709, plus Fix Pack FP0000023 of Java SDK for WebSphere Application Server (also referred to as Java SDK 1.5 SR9 Cumulative Fix for WebSphere Application Server). All operating systems supported by Tivoli Workload Scheduler are supported by the application server, which is installed automatically. In the information relating to hardware and memory requirements in this document, the application server is treated as part of Tivoli Workload Scheduler, and its requirements are not listed separately.

Note:
The embedded WebSphere Application Server is provided solely for use with Tivoli Workload Scheduler (see the product license for details). This version has no limit on the number of CPUs on which it can be installed.

Notes
  1. This information, plus other information about how to launch the launchpad, is provided, platform by platform, in a readme.txt file in the root of the Launchpad directory on each DVD or electronic download image. However, this document contains more up-to-date information than the readme files.
  2. To resolve a problem on Firefox and Mozilla with the display of tooltips, obtain and install the "Long Titles" add-on from: Firefox add-ons: Long Titles 1.3.
  3. The links to the Web sites indicated here are provided as a courtesy. They were correct when this document was published, but IBM cannot be held responsible if they change address or content, or are removed.
  4. Browsers at a later level might run the Launchpad correctly, but have not been tested. This means, for example, that you might prefer to disable the update of Firefox V2.0 to V3.0, which is, by default, automatic on some platforms, because Firefox 3.0 is not explicitly supported.

Supported operating systems and software requirements for the Integration Workbench

The Tivoli Workload Scheduler Integration Workbench is available on the following platforms:

  • Linux on x86
  • Linux on x86-64
  • Microsoft Windows
  • Microsoft Windows on x86-64

It requires one of the following versions of Eclipse, depending on the installation option used:

  • Using the bundled Eclipse, version 3.4.0 v20080603-2000 (Build id: I20080617-2000)
  • As an Eclipse site, using the minimum supported version that is Eclipse GANYMEDE 3.4.

The version of the Java Development Kit used for the development of all application programming interfaces and plug-ins is 1.5. You can find a copy of the supported IBM JDK in the java sub-directory of the directory where you installed the workbench using the installation wizard.

Supported operating systems and software requirements for Job Brokering Definition Console

The Tivoli Workload Scheduler Job Brokering Definition Console is available on the following platforms:

  • Linux on x86
  • Microsoft Windows

Notes:
  1. Space for RDBMS: These disk space requirements do not include the space required for the RDBMS software you have chosen, details of which can be obtained from the documentation of the support.

    Nor do they include the additional space requirement for the base support of Tivoli Workload Scheduler (without scheduling data), which is 250 MB, divided as follows:

    DB2
    • 200 megabytes in the DB2 installation path
    • 30 megabytes in the data tablespace path
    • 20 megabytes in the reports tablespace path
    Oracle
    • 30 megabytes in the data tablespace path
    • 20 megabytes in the reports tablespace path

  2. Space for integrated installation: A Tivoli Workload Scheduler component and the Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console can be installed together in an integrated installation where they share, among other things, an instance of the embedded WebSphere Application Server. This integrated installation is called a Tivoli Workload Automation instance.

    The values indicated for the MDM, BKM, and CONN in Table 6 are for the installation of a Tivoli Workload Scheduler component not integrated with the Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console, and include the instance of the embedded WebSphere Application Server. The corresponding figures in the Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console system requirements document (for an installation on the embedded WebSphere Application Server) also include the space required for the instance of the embedded WebSphere Application Server.

    Therefore, if you plan to install a Tivoli Workload Scheduler component in a Tivoli Workload Automation instance together with the console (integrated installation), the disk space required is indicated in Table 8:

    Table 8: Disk space (MB) required for integrated installation of a TWS component and the TDWC
    Operating system MDM or BKM + TDWC FTA + CONN + TDWC
    AIX 1655 1260
    HP-UX 1815 1385
    Linux 1590 1251
    Solaris 1715 1317
    Windows 1525 1150

    It is also possible to install a Tivoli Workload Scheduler component and the Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console in separate Tivoli Workload Automation instances, in which case each will have its own version of the embedded WebSphere Application Server, and you must sum the figure in Table 6 with the corresponding figure for the console.

  3. Command-line client language pack: The Command-line Client language pack installation requires 5 MB on all platforms.
  4. Space requirements for operating Tivoli Workload Scheduler: Table 6 and Table 7 do not include the space required to operate Tivoli Workload Scheduler. For this you must consider the additional space required for the following:
    • Database data
    • Symphony file
    • Archive files (and their retention period)
    • Log files (and their retention period)
    • Temporary files that are placed on the local hard drive
    • Files associated with the jobs managed by Tivoli Workload Scheduler

    The space required is very subjective and depends on how you use Tivoli Workload Scheduler. If you are already a user of the product, you will have an idea of how much space it currently occupies. However, you should bear in mind that each version of the system uses more disk space than the previous one. If you are a new user you will probably set up a test system to help you grow familiar with the product and you should be able to scale up the operating space requirements of the test system to give you an indication of how much space you will be using in a fully functional live system.

Temporary space requirements

Table 6 and Table 7 do not include the space requirements for the temporary installation files. These depend on the component you are installing, and are given in Table 9:

Table 9: Temporary disk space
Operating system type MDM or BKM Agent + z-centric Agent + FTA CONN CLI CLI LP
UNIX® and Linux 170 40 40   40  
Windows 70 20 20   20  

Virtual memory swap space requirements

Neither Table 6 nor Table 7 nor Table 9 include the requirements for the virtual memory file (sometimes called page file or swap space). Tivoli Workload Scheduler requires a minimum of 1 GB of virtual memory swap space (recommended level is 2 GB) on the file system of any operating system.

Memory requirements

Table 10 summarizes the memory requirements for the various components, on all operating systems:

Table 10: Memory
Memory MDM or BKM
(see note 1)
Agent + z-centric
Agent + FTA
CLI
CONN
(see note 1)
Recommended 2048 256 512 256 1536
Required 1536 256 256 256 1024
Note
  1. Memory for integrated installation: The values indicated in Table 8 for the MDM, BKM, and CONN, are for using a Tivoli Workload Scheduler component not integrated with the Tivoli Dynamic Workload Console, and include the embedded WebSphere Application Server. If you are using both a Tivoli Workload Scheduler component and the console in the same Tivoli Workload Automation instance, the memory requirement is the larger of the Tivoli Workload Scheduler and the console memory values (see the console's detailed system requirements document), not the sum.

    If you have installed more than one instance of Tivoli Workload Automation, to calculate the overall memory requirement use the sum of the memory requirements of each instance.
