Hardware Requirements

TIBCO recommends a minimum specification for any server used to host a BPM system.

Processor

Two 3 GHz dual processors.

System Memory

8 GB of virtual memory available for user applications.

Disk Space

The installer requires space in the temporary directory before installation, and additional space in the temporary directory for running the installer. You must also make sure sufficient space is in the directory you want to use as the installation environment (TIBCO_HOME) directory.

Note: While performing installation, avoid running other processes that consume disk space in TIBCO_HOME. If another process consumes disk space while the installer is copying the files, the installer might fail and display a failure message.
Directory Disk Space Requirement
Temporary directory used to hold the installer Before you start the installation process, extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files consume up to 900 MB of disk space.
Temporary directory used during installation The installer requires at least 900 MB of free space in the temporary directory used by the installer. On Microsoft Windows, this directory is typically:

%SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local    Settings\Temp

If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:

-is:tempdir /new_temp

where /new_temp has sufficient free disk space.

Installation environment directory (TIBCO_HOME) The installer calculates the disk space required in the installation environment directory for the selected components. The calculation is done before the actual installation (copying of files to the system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in the installation environment directory.

ActiveMatrix BPM can consume up to 5 GB of free space under TIBCO_HOME.
