System Requirements

To install and run Databridge 6.3, your system must meet the following hardware and software requirements. Specific requirements vary based on your hardware and other software components present.

Databridge
Host

Unisys mainframe system with an MCP level SSR 51.1 through 58.1

Note: Any features introduced in MCP level 58.1 are not supported.

DMSII software (including the DMALGOL compiler)

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

Access to an audited DMSII database

Databridge Enterprise
Server

Note: This list assumes that the Enterprise Server machine is connected to a Unisys mainframe system running Databridge Host 6.x and to a system running Databridge Client 6.x.

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 2012 R2 (CORE mode must be disabled for installation)
  • 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 www.java.com.

Databridge Client

Note: Disk space requirements for replicated DMSII data are not included here. Your relational database should have, at minimum, twice as much disk space as the DMSII data you plan to clone. For best results, use a RAID disk array and store the client files on a separate disk from the database storage.

Client - Windows

Unisys ES7000

-or-

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

2 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended)
