2.0 System Requirements

Databridge 6.5 includes support for the following hardware and software requirement:

Databridge Host

Unisys mainframe system with an MCP level SSR 53.1 through 59.1

DMSII or DMSII XL software (including the DMALGOL compiler)

DMSII database DESCRIPTION, CONTROL, DMSUPPORT library, and audit files

Databridge Enterprise Server

ClearPath PC with Logical disks or MCP disks (VSS disks in MCP format)

-or-

Windows PC that meets the minimum requirements of its operating system, which is one of the following:

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Windows Server 2008

Direct Disk replication (recommended) requires read-only access to MCP disks on a storage area network (SAN)

TCP/IP transport

To view the product Help, a supported Internet browser (such as, Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome) is required. In addition, JavaScript must be enabled in the browser settings to navigate and search Help.

Databridge Client Console

You can install Client Console to the same machine as the Client; however, this can drain resources and impact the performance of your relational database. Instead, we recommend that you install the Client Console to a machine that connects to the Client machine via TCP/IP transport.

Requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Download and install the latest version from Oracle. For more information, see Java JRE Installation.

Databridge Client

NOTE:Disk space requirements for replicated DMSII data are not included here. For best results, use a RAID disk array and store the client files on a separate disk from the database storage.

NOTE:Memory requirements do not include the database requirements when running the Client in the server that houses the relational database (consult your database documentation for these). The numbers are for a stand-alone client machine that connects to a remote database server.

If you run the console in the same machine as the Client, it will need an additional 1-2 GB of memory depending on how many data sources you have and how long you let it run. All log information is saved in memory.
