NOTE: See Limitations for 64-bit Platforms.

SL tests the following platforms for compatibility, other platforms running a standard Sun supported JVM version 1.5.0_01+ should also work, but are not guaranteed:

• IBM AIX 6.1 (64 bit)
   
• HP-UX 11 (IA-64/Itanium)
   
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x (x86, x86-64)
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x (x86, x86-64)
   
• Solaris 10 (x86, x86-64)
• Solaris 11 (x86, x86-64)
   
• Windows Server 2003 (x86, x86-64)
• Windows Server 2008 R2 (x86-64)
• Windows Server 2012 (x86-64)
• Windows Vista Business Edition (x86, x86-64)
• Windows 7 (x86, x86-64)
  
• Windows 8 (x86, x86-64)
  
• Windows 8.1 (x86, x86-64)
   
• Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard (x86, x86-64)

Limitations for 64-bit Platforms

• Windows installers require 32-bit java, but otherwise we support both 32-bit and 64-bit JREs.
• The Builder and Viewer only support the editing and viewing of Flex objects if on Windows platforms and running in 32-bit mode.
• 64-bit clients of the RTView Display Server are supported if the platform is using a 32-bit browser. When Adobe officially supports 64-bit flash players, this limitation will no longer apply.
• The WMI data source is only supported on 32-bit platforms.

Display Builder, Display Viewer Application, Data Server, Display Server
Requires Java 1.5.0_01+. If you will be using the Fx graphs, Adobe® Flash Player version 9.0+ is also required.

For the Display Builder and Display Viewer, Fx graphs are only supported on Windows.  

For the Display Server:

• 64-bit clients of the Display Server are supported if the platform is using a 32-bit browser. When Adobe officially supports 64-bit flash players, this limitation will no longer apply.
   
• Browsers that support HTML5 (i.e. Firefox, iOS Safari, and Internet Explorer 9+) will display the html5 trend chart on displays when the webChartFlag property is selected. Otherwise, regardless of the value of the webChartFlag, the standard Trend or Fx Trend graph will be displayed.

Display Viewer Applet
Runs in Swing and requires Java plug-in 1.5.0_01+. The Fx graphs are not supported in the Display Viewer Applet.

In order to use the Send Email system command you must modify the Java security settings on each client to include the following permissions:

permission java.net.SocketPermission "SMTPHostName", "resolve";
permission java.net.SocketPermission "SMTPHostIP", "accept, connect, listen, resolve";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.name", "read"; };
 

Where SMTPHostName is the name of the SMTP server, SMTPHostIP is the IP address of the SMTP server. NOTE: Email attachments are not supported in the Display Viewer Applet.   

Web Browsers
The following browsers are supported:

• MSIE 8.0+
• Firefox 25+
• Firefox 36+
• Safari 5+
• iPad iOS Safari 4+ See iPad Safari limitations for more information.

Historian
Requires a database with a JDBC or ODBC driver. See Historian Database Setup for information on setting up your database connection.

Requires Java 1.5.0_01+.

In the Display Viewer Applet, attachments to historical data require that you modify your Java security settings to include the permissions detailed in the SQL Deployment section.

RTView Demo Server Requirements

Requires  JDK1.5.0_01+.
