====================================================================== 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. ====================================================================== Supported Platforms Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit on x86-64 Microsoft Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 64-bit on x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.x, 8.x 64-bit on x86-64 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 GCC 3.4, 4.9,8.3 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. ====================================================================== Supported Third-party Software Database Microsoft SQL Server 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 Oracle Database 12c Oracle Database 19c 19.0.0.0.0 PostgreSQL 13.x Development Tool Oracle Java Development Kit 1.8.x, 11.0.x Open Source Azul OpenJDK 8.x, 11.x OpenJDK 8.x, 11.x Web Browser Google Chrome 98.0.x (Latest stable) Microsoft Edge 98.0.x (Latest stable) Mozilla Firefox 97.0.x (Latest stable) Additional Information Java Library Requirements GridServer requires a Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) SDK installed on the GridServer Manager machine. Note that the Java JRE 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 JDK8, Azul Open JDK11 GridServer requires one of the following Java SDKs for Engines 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. ====================================================================== TIBCO Product Compatibilities TIBCO DataSynapse GridServer(R) LogViewer 1.0.0 ====================================================================== 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. ====================================================================== Documentation Documentation for this and other TIBCO products is available on the TIBCO Documentation site.
