System Requirements

Databridge 6.6 includes support for the following hardware and software requirement:

System Support Updates

  • 32-bit clients are no longer included on the release medium for Databridge 6.6 and subsequent releases.

  • Databridge will remove support for operating systems and target databases when their respective software company ends mainstream and extended support.

Databridge Host

Unisys mainframe system with an MCP level SSR 54.1 through 60.0

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 7

  • Windows Server 2019 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation and configuration)

  • Windows Server 2016 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation and configuration)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation and configuration)

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2008 R2

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 JRE version 8 from Oracle. Install JRE version 8 as the Client will not run on JRE 9. 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.

Client - Windows

Unisys ES7000

-or-

Pentium PC processor 3 GHz or higher (multiple CPU configuration recommended)

2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended)

100 GB of disk space in addition to disk space for the relational database built from DMSII data)

TCP/IP transport

One of the following operating systems:

  • Windows Server 2019 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation and console cannot be run locally)

  • Windows Server 2016 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation and console cannot be run locally)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation and console cannot be run locally)

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2008 R2

  • Windows 10

  • Windows 8.1

  • Windows 8

  • Windows 7

One of the following databases:

TCP/IP transport

One of the following databases:

  • Oracle 11g Release 2, 12c or 18c (AIX, Linux and Solaris only)

NOTE:Oracle 12c and 18c clients only exist as 64-bit programs.

NOTE:If you are using Oracle 11g, we strongly recommend that you upgrade Oracle 11g release 2, as the client is designed for this version of Oracle.
