• Hardware Requirements

• Software Requirements

• Certified Software

• Oracle9iAS Wireless Client Requirements

• Online Documentation Requirements

Hardware Requirements

The following table contains the hardware requirements for Oracle9i Application Server.

Hardware Items	Requirements
CPU	A SPARC Processor
Memory	128 MB
Disk Space	Minimal: 625 MB Standard Edition: 1.40 GB Enterprise Edition: 3.7 GB
TMP or Swap Space	500 MB

Make note of the following:

• The disk space must be available on a single disk. Oracle9i Application Server does not support spanning the installation over multiple disks

• Origin database must have free disk space for the following:
  • System Tablespace: 1 GB

  • User Tablespace: 400 MB

• For Standard Edition Only: You will need an additional 430 MB disk space to install the Oracle Enterprise Java Engine database. The database files do not have to be installed on the same disk as the Oracle9i Application Server ORACLE_HOME.

• For Enterprise Edition Only:
  • Memory for Oracle9iAS Web Cache should be based on the following formula:

    (average HTTP object size) * (maximum number of objects you want to cache)

    Thus, if you want to cache 1,000,000 objects and the average size of the objects is 3 KB, then set the maximum cache size to at least 3 GB.

  • You will require an additional 100 MB disk space for Oracle9iAS Discoverer installation.
