Product Name	 : TIBCO DataSynapse GridServer(R) Manager
Release Version	 : 7.1.0
Release Date	 : July 2022

======================================================================
Introduction 

GridServer is a highly scalable software infrastructure that
allows application services to operate in a virtualized
fashion, unattached to specific hardware resources. Client
applications submit requests to the Grid environment and
GridServer dynamically provisions services to respond to the
request. Multiple client applications can submit multiple
requests in parallel and GridServer dynamically creates
multiple service instances to handle requests in parallel on
different Grid nodes. This architecture is therefore highly
scalable in both speed and throughput. For example, a single
client will see scalable performance gains in the processing of
multiple requests, and many applications and users will see
scalable throughput of the aggregate load.

This release is available as a full product installation.

======================================================================

Additional Information 

   
   Note: Platforms, versions, configurations, and components not
   listed in this document are not supported. 
   
   GridServer requires one of the following operating systems.
   Supported compilers are also noted for each operating system:
   
       64-bit
            Windows 2012, 2012 R2,  2016 Server
               VC 12, 14,15,16; .NET 3.5, SP1, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0
               
           Red Hat Enterprise Linux  7,8

   GridServer releases support operating systems versions for which
   the applicable vendor provides both active support and standard
   support. Active support means that bug fixes and security fixes are
   provided on a timely basis. Standard support means that these fixes
   are provided as part of the vendor's base support package, without
   requiring any additional surcharge. This minimum level of support
   is currently met by the following OS vendor support levels:
       
   Microsoft: Mainstream Support
   Oracle: Premier Support
   RedHat: Production 3 Support
   Novell: General Support
   
   TIBCO may change this operating system version support policy in
   the future at its option, at any time, without prior notice, due to
   changes in OS vendor support policies or other technical or
   business considerations.
   
   Bitness of compiled libraries for 64-bit operating systems is
   indicated in brackets.

   is no longer supported. You must use the Java SDK. Also, each Java
   Driver system requires a copy of the J2SE SDK. 
           
        GridServer requires one of the following Java SDKs for
   Managers:
             
          OracleJDK 8, OracleJDK 11, Open JDK 8, Open JDK11, Azul Open

   and Drivers:
                 
         OracleJDK 8, OracleJDK 11, Open JDK 8, Open JDK11, Azul Open
   JDK8, Azul Open JDK11
               
         Oracle's JDKs are available at
      https://www.oracle.com/java/.
      
           Open JDKs are available at
      https://openjdk.org/
       
           Azul's JDKs are available at
      https://www.azul.com/  
           
        Running or hosting other applications in the same Java VM as
   GridServer is not supported.
         
   Web Browser
       Those browsers listed are supported browsers for accessing the
   GridServer Administration Tool on the Manager. The browser must be
   able to communicate with the Manager machine. JavaScript and
   cookies must be enabled.

======================================================================
Minimum Software Requirements

   TIBCO Software:
     Spotfire(R) Enterprise Runtime for R 6.0.0

Additional Information 

   License Requirements:
   
   The GridServer Manager requires a license file, which is
   installed on the Primary Director. Licenses contain an
   expiration date. The same license is used for each Manager in
   the same grid.

Product-Specific Information 

Minimum Disk Space and Memory Requirements

GridServer requires the following hardware:
    
  For Intel Platforms
    Minimum Engine:
      2.4 GHz Pentium 4, 2 GB RAM, 
      10 GB free disk space.
    Recommended Engine:
      2.8 GHz Pentium D, 8 GB RAM, 
      100 GB free disk space.
    Minimum Manager:
      2.8 GHz Dual-Core Xeon, 4 GB RAM, 
      100 GB free disk space.
    Recommended Manager:
      2.33 GHz Intel Quad-Core E5345, 8 GB RAM, 
      200 GB free disk space.
   
======================================================================
Network Infrastructure Requirements

You must configure your network to meet requirements in these
areas: hostname resolution, proxy configuration, network
bandwidth, and Web browser.
    
- Hostname Resolution: GridServer uses HTTP for peer-to-peer
communication between GridServer components. Each component
identifies itself to other components using its IP address or
its DNS name. In general, the GridServer Manager requires a
fixed IP address assigned to it, and that IP address must be
resolvable through DNS. DNS name resolution is a pre-requisite
for the browser single sign-on feature.

- Proxy Configuration: GridServer does not require a proxy
server, but communication between GridServer Engines, Drivers,
and Managers can take place through both firewalls and proxy
servers. Communication between Managers and Directors is via
TCP, so proxies are not supported, and any intervening
firewalls must have the Manager TCP port (typically 5635) open.

- NAT is supported.
        
- Network Bandwidth: Moving large quantities of data through
the GridServer system requires the physical network
infrastructure to support it.
