Disk space
The following table shows the minimum recommended disk space for typical installations in megabytes (MB). The actual requirement depends on the applications that you intend to run. Additional disk space might be required to handle heavy workloads and large numbers of users. The numbers below are for reference only.
| Disk space (minimum) | AIX | Linux | Sun Solaris | Windows | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 500 MB | |
|
|
|
Note: The disk space that is required for IBM Content Integrator depends on the components that are selected. The disk space requirements that are provided for IBM Content Integrator do not include the disk space that is required for hosting a J2EE application server. Refer to the documentation of the J2EE application server for detailed disk space requirements. The API and administrative tools for IBM Content Integrator cannot be installed separately. Therefore, they require the same disk space as IBM Content Integrator.
Memory
The following table shows the minimum recommended memory for installation in megabytes (MB). The actual requirement depends on the applications that you intend to run. Additional memory might be required to handle heavy workloads and large numbers of users. The numbers below are for reference only.
| Memory (minimum) | AIX | Linux | Sun Solaris | Windows | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 512 MB | |
|
|
|
Notes:
The amount of memory that is required for the IBM Content Integrator API depends on the operating system, the client run time of the J2EE application server, and the applications that are running. In most cases, it should be sufficient to use the minimum memory requirements of the operating system as the minimum requirement for running the IBM Content Integrator API clients. Graphical tools that are part of the administration tool will require an additional 128 MB.
The memory requirements that are provided for IBM Content Integrator include the memory that is typically required for hosting a J2EE application server. Refer to the documentation of the J2EE application server for detailed memory requirements. In addition, the installation process for IBM Content Integrator requires 128 MB of memory.
