Chapter 3 Installing the ASC X12 OTD Library

This chapter describes how to install the X12 OTD Library and its documentation. This chapter also includes the system requirements and supported operating systems for the ASC X12 OTD Library. This chapter contains the following topics:

System Requirements

Each X12 OTD .sar file requires approximately 8 MBytes disk space; the combined disk space required to load all .sar files is approximately 140 MBytes.

Due to the size of the X12 OTDs, increasing the heap size property of the Enterprise Designer is advisable. For information, refer to Increasing the Enterprise Designer Heap Size.

Other than that, the system requirements for the X12 OTD Library are the same as those for eGate Integrator and eXchange Integrator. For information, refer to the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite Installation Guide.

Supported Operating Systems

For information about supported operating systems, refer to the B2B Readme file.
