 SERVERS AND BUILDER


 
---- JVM Support --------------------------------------------

 Oracle Java 1.6 32-bit, 64-bit
 Oracle Java 1.7 32-bit, 64-bit
 Oracle Java 1.8 32-bit, 64-bit
 
 NOTE: Data Servers may have more restrictive JVM requirements
 due to compatibility requirements of the third-party 
 technologies being monitored. These restrictions are mentioned
 in the third-party application support notes.
 
 
 
---- Operating System Support -------------------------------

 Microsoft Windows
	7, 8.x, 10 (x86, x86-64)
 Microsoft Windows Server
	2003, 2008 (R2), 2012 (R2) (x86-64)
 Red Hat Linux
	6.x, 7.x (x86, x86-64)
 Solaris
	10, 11 (x86-64, SPARC)
 IBM AIX 
	6.1 (64 bit POWER RISC)
 HP-UX 
	11 (IA-64/Itanium)
 Mac OS X
	10.10.x Yosemite (x86-64)
 
 NOTE: Other platforms running a standard Oracle supported 
 JVM (see JVM Support) should work, but are not guaranteed.

 
 
 
---- Recommended Hardware -----------------------------------------------

 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo equivalent or faster
 200 MB disk space for installation
 2 GB of RAM or higher*
 
 *The optimal minimum and maximum heap size for a given server 
 process are context-dependent, but the default values (listed below) 
 are a good starting point. 
 
 Some practical guidelines to consider are that Data Server 
 memory will be dependent on the volume of data and Display Server 
 memory usage is dependent on the number of simultaneous users. 
 Historian memory is dependent on configured persistence and 
 compaction workloads.
 
 Keep in mind as well that the maximum java heap size possible
 will be JVM dependent.
 
 Java Heap Defaults
	Display Server 256 MB - 1 GB
	Data Server 256 MB - 1 GB
	Historian 128 MB - 384 MB
	Thick Client Viewer 128 MB - 256 MB
 
---- Servlet Container --------------------------------------

 An application server is required to run a thin client 
 deployment (for example, Tomcat 6.0 or greater).
 
 NOTE: Any production quality application server may be used.
 
---- Database JDBC Support ----------------------------------
 
 Evaluation environments can use the bundled HSQLDB database.
 
 Production environments should use one of the following 
 supported databases:

 Oracle 11 (ojdbc6.jar)
 MySQL 5.5 (mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar)
	Requires:
		ANSI_QUOTES sql_mode
		NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES sql_mode
		latin1 charset
 MS SQL Server 2008 (jtds12.jar)
 Sybase ASE 15.5 (jconn3.jar)
	Requires pagesize of 8k
 IBM DB2 Express 9.7 (db2jcc4.jar v4.14.137)
	Requires pagesize of 8k
 
 
 
 
 THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION SUPPORT 
 
 
 
== bwmon ============================================== 
 
For monitoring 5.x deployments 
 

 TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks(TM) 5.7.2+, 5.9.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x
	5.7.0 and 5.7.1 contain a defect that prevent 
	the monitor from correctly displaying data
 TIBCO ActiveMatrix(R) Service Grid 3.x
	2.x is unable to provide JVM memory metrics
 TIBCO Hawk(R) 4.8.x, 4.9.x, 5.1.x, 5.2.x
	5.1.x+ is supported with the limitations: 
	   Java 1.7 
	   RVD and EMS transports only (AS DataGrid transport not supported)
 TIBCO Rendezvous(R) 8.x

 
For monitoring 6.x deployments 
 

 TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks(TM) 6.1.x
 TIBCO Hawk(R) 5.1.x
        5.1.x is supported with the limitations:
           Java 1.7
           RVD and EMS transports only (AS DataGrid transport not supported)
 TIBCO Rendezvous(R) 8.4.2+


 LIMITATIONS

 TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.2.1 has issues with the Hawk microagent 
 that impose the following limitations on BW Monitor. 
	
 (1) Activity statistics are not completely implemented in Hawk. Activity-level 
 metrics and displays are not available in this release of BW Monitor. 
	
 (2) Process statistics are not completely implemented in Hawk. Min/Max/Average 
 Elapsed Time will be zero. 
	
 (3) Some statistics are not implemented in Hawk on Windows. This release of 
 BW6mon does not support TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6 on Windows. 
	
 (4) The bwadmin command "enablestats" command does not enable statistics in 
 the Hawk microagent. You must enable process statistics for your BW6 
 applications via hawk, e.g. using the Hawk Display tool.
