System Requirements

If you use Synapta Services Builder for CICS 3270 Bridge with the Management and Control Services (MCS) for ID management, your installation should be designed to minimize network latency and competition for resources. This will usually involve the MCS and requestor components being installed on separate, but nearby, computers.

Attachmate cannot confirm the accuracy of performance, or any other claims related to non-Attachmate products. For questions or concerns regarding the capabilities of non-Attachmate products, please contact the suppliers of those products.

In Windows, when you install MCS, the installation process checks for the presence of an existing MCS installation, version 2.2.2 or later. If such an installation is present, it is upgraded by the installation process. When installing with UNIX, you must uninstall any existing version before installing your new version. When installing in Windows, SDK versions earlier than 1.4.2_02 are supported only for upgrades. When installing in UNIX, you must uninstall any existing version before installing your new version; however, during installation you can specify the location of a different version 1.4.2_02 SDK. With a WebSphere application server, only upgrades are supported. If you use HTTP Engine and IIS redirection, IIS must be configured to both run on and use port 80. If the Java plug-in is not already installed when you attempt to run the MCS console, you will be prompted to install the plug-in. If you continue, MCS installs the plug-in for you. The Java platform does not support 16-color displays. Any Synapta Services Builder component that requires Java will require at least 256-color support. The minimum screen resolution setting is 1024 x 768 pixels.
