Message Queue 4.4 Supported Platforms and Components

This section covers the following topics regarding Message Queue 4.4 system requirements:

Operating System Platform Support

Windows Server 2008 Standard and Enterprise Editions, SP2, 32– and 64–bit versions (x86, x64)

System Virtualization Support

System virtualization is a technology that enables multiple operating system (OS) instances to execute independently on shared hardware. Functionally, software deployed to an OS hosted in a virtualized environment is generally unaware that the underlying platform has been virtualized. Sun performs testing of its Sun Java System products on select system virtualization and OS combinations to help validate that the Sun Java System products continue to function on properly sized and configured virtualized environments as they do on non-virtualized systems. For information about Sun support for Sun Java System products in virtualized environments, see http://download.oracle.com/820-4651.

Component Dependencies

In addition to platform-specific requirements, Message Queue 4.4 also depends on certain basic components that must be installed in order to develop and run Message Queue clients. Table 1–3 describes these components. Other versions or vendor implementations can also be used, but they are untested by Sun Microsystems and therefore not officially supported.

Table 1–3 Required Support Components

Component 

Supports 

Supported Versions [Sun Microsystems production versions only]

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

Message Queue broker and administration tools 

J2SETM Runtime Environment 1.5.0 or later

JavaTM SE Runtime Environment1.6.0

Table 1–4 shows additional components that you can install to provide additional support for Message Queue clients. You may not need all of the components listed: for example, if you are not writing a C client, you will not need the C compiler, C++ runtime library, NSPR, or NSS.
