Planning for Java CAPS Installation

Java CAPS 6.2 System Requirements

Your system configuration depends upon which systems you use and how you intend to use Java CAPS. The requirements listed in this topic are in addition to the supported operating system requirements.

Mozilla Firefox Version

Java CAPS supports Mozilla Firefox v. 2.0 or above for accessing all Java CAPS browser components.

Internet Explorer Version

Java CAPS supports Internet Explorer 6.0 (Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2) and Internet Explorer 7.0 for accessing all Java CAPS browser components.

Repository and Domain Firewall Port Requirements

When you have a firewall in place between a Repository Server and a domain, selected ports must be open in order for monitoring to function properly.

For Repository ports, ensure that the following monitor-side ports are open:
- Base port +4 (RMI Connector)
- Base port +5 (HTTP Connector)
For example, if the default port is 12000, the RMI Connector port would be 12004 and the HTTP Connector port would be 12005.
For domain ports, ensure that the following domain-side ports are open:
- Base port +0 (HTTP Connector)
- Base port +1 (RMI)
- Base port +2
For example, if the default port is 18000, the HTTP Connector port would be 18000, the RMI port would be 18001.

Java CAPS Installation Requirements

To install Java CAPS you need:

For the installation executable file: 800+ MB
For a complete Java CAPS installation
- Sun Solaris: 3.25 GB
- Apple Macintosh: 1.5 GB
- IBM AIX: 1.75 GB (does not include NetBeans IDE)
- Microsoft Windows: 1.5 GB
- Red Hat and SUSE Linux: 1.5 GB

Windows System Requirements

The following table lists the minimum requirements for installing and running each of the Java CAPS components on a Windows system. The RAM and disk space requirements do not take into consideration the RAM and disk space required by the operating system. For the best performance, you should install these components on different systems. However, if you choose to install some or all of these components on the same machine (for example, in a test environment), keep in mind that the requirements for each additional component are cumulative.

Table 12 Windows System Requirements


Component	CPU	RAM	Disk Space
Repository	1.2 GHz	240 MB	1.2 GB
Enterprise Manager	1.2 GHz	400 MB	170 MB

Note –

For GlassFish Enterprise Server requirements, see Supported Platforms in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1 Release Notes
For NetBeans IDE requirements, see http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/65/1/relnotes.html

Additionally, to use the Sun Enterprise Service Bus on Windows, you need the following:

A TCP/IP network connection
Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer 7.0, or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later

Additional Windows Considerations

The disk space requirement listed for the Domain does not include space for the queues and log files that are created by the user as integration and message services are executed.
The Sun Enterprise Service Bus GUI is supported when using Microsoft Terminal Services©, but not with other remote Windows tools.

UNIX and Linux System Requirements

The following tables list the minimum requirements for installing the Repository and Domain on various UNIX and Linux systems. The RAM and disk space requirements do not take into consideration the RAM and disk space required by the operating system. For the best performance, you should install these components on different systems. However, if you choose to install these components on the same machine (for example, in a test environment), keep in mind that the requirements for each additional component are cumulative.

Dual (or multi) CPUs are recommended for best performance of the Domain, especially if you run the Repository and the Domain on the same system.

Table 13 UNIX and Linux System Requirements


Platform	Component	CPU	RAM	Disk Space
IBM AIX	Repository	450 MHz	180 MB	900 MB
	Enterprise Manager	450 MHz	400 MB	180 MB
Linux (Red Hat and SUSE)	Repository	1.2 GHz	240 MB	900 MB
	Enterprise Manager	1.2 GHz	400 MB	180 MB
Sun Solaris	Repository	400 MHz	240 MB	850 MB
	Enterprise Manager	400 MHz	400 MB	210 MB

For NetBeans IDE requirements, see http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/65/1/relnotes.html

Additionally, to use the Enterprise Service Bus on UNIX, you need:

A TCP/IP network connection
FTP and Telnet capabilities
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or above

Additional UNIX Considerations

The disk space requirement listed for the Domain does not include space for the queues and log files that are created by the user as Integration and Message Services are executed.

Macintosh System Requirements

The following table lists the minimum requirements for installing and running each of the Java CAPS components on a Macintosh system. The RAM and disk space requirements do not take into consideration the RAM and disk space required by the operating system. For the best performance, you should install these components on different systems. However, if you choose to install some or all of these components on the same machine (for example, in a test environment), keep in mind that the requirements for each additional component are cumulative.

Component	CPU	RAM	Disk Space
Repository	1.2 GHz	500 MB	250 MB
Enterprise Manager	1.2 GHz	400 MB	100 MB
