Software requirements

• Software requirements for WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition
• System requirements for Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub
• Supported Browsers
• Supported Browsers for mobile devices
• Supported LDAP Servers
• Support for Internet Protocol version 6

Software requirements for WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition

All operating systems supported by Dynamic Workload Console are supported by IBM WebSphere™ Application Server, V8.5.5.9. For more information about it, see the WebSphere Application Server Detailed System Requirements website, browse to the relevant version and follow the appropriate links.

In the information relating to hardware and memory requirements in this document, the application server is treated as part of Dynamic Workload Console, and its requirements are not listed separately.

Before applying the WebSphere Application Server later fixpacks ensure that they are supported also by Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub.

System requirements for Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub

See Jazz for Service Management V1.1.2.1 extension for IBM WebSphere and Dashboard Application Services Hub requirements: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEKCU_1.1.2.1/com.ibm.psc.doc/install/psc_c_install_prereqs.html.

Supported Browsers

The Dynamic Workload Console is supported on most browsers. Generate the Detailed System Requirements dynamic report that contains the most up-to-date information about supported browsers and related versions from the Software Product Compatibility Reports web page, and then click the tabs Prerequisites->Web Browsers.

Supported Browsers for mobile devices

To use Dynamic Workload Console 9.4 on mobile devices, use the default browsers on the following mobile platforms:

• iOS based devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) with iOS V8.x
• Android-based devices with V4.4+

Supported LDAP Servers

For a list of the LDAP servers supported by IBM Workload Scheduler, go to the supported software for WebSphere Application Server website, click the appropriate MDM/DWC platform link, and read the LDAP servers using Federated Repository Configuration section.

Support for Internet Protocol version 6

Dynamic Workload Console supports Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) in addition to IPv4. To help you in the transition from an IPv4 environment to a complete IPv6 environment, IBM Workload Scheduler provides IP dual-stack support. The product communicates using both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols simultaneously with other applications using IPv4 or IPv6.

Hardware requirements

Topics:

• Memory and disk space requirements
• Memory requirements for Installation Manager

Memory and disk space requirements

To obtain the latest information, run the Memory and disk space requirements report and click the Hardware tab.

The values indicated in the report show the disk space required by the Dynamic Workload Console alone. For the disk space required by WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere SDK Java Technology, or by IBM Workload Scheduler, refer to the relevant documentation.

For information about the memory requirements for Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub, see Jazz for Service Management extension for IBM WebSphere with Dashboard Application Services Hub.

Memory requirements for Installation Manager

Dynamic Workload Console is installed by using IBM Installation Manager. Table 2 summarizes the memory requirements (MB) indicated for running the Installation Manager in interactive or in silent mode.

Note:

• To run the Installation Manager GUI on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 (64-bit), the following operating system libraries are required:
  • libXtst+
  • compat-libstdc+
• To run the Installation Manager GUI on AIX, ensure that the operating system has the required operating system libraries listed in the Required gtk libraries for Installation Manager on AIX
• These disk space requirements do not include the space required for the Tivoli Common Reporting, details of which can be obtained from their support documentation.
