Software Requirements

The following subsections provide information about software requirements for the TIBCO iProcess Workspace Plug-ins:

• TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows)
• Java Runtime Environment
• Character Encoding

TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows)

The TIBCO iProcess Workspace Plug-ins requires TIBCO iProcess Workspace (Windows) Version 11.8.0 and above (which includes TIBCO iProcess Modeler).

Java Runtime Environment

You must have a JRE/JVM installed on your system prior to installing the iProcess Workspace Plug-ins. This release of iProcess Workspace Plug-ins only supports Java version 11.

If you do not already have one of these versions of Java installed, it can be downloaded from Oracle.

Warning: To use a different version of the JRE or JVM for any reason, TIBCO strongly recommends that you contact TIBCO Support before doing so to determine if the version of Java you want to use is fully compatible with the TIBCO iProcess Workspace Plug-ins.

Character Encoding

Java provides two groups of character encoding sets:

• Basic - supports European languages only
• Extended - extends Basic to add support for non-European languages

For a complete list of all character encoding sets supported in each Java version, see the following reference:

Reference

11

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/intl/supported-encodings.html

Use this reference to determine the minimum Java version/encoding set combination you need.

Warning: Ensure that you use a Java version or encoding set combination that supports all the character encoding sets you require.
• If you have not yet installed a version of Java or JRE - before you install one of the supported versions of Java, you should consider which character encoding sets you require. This will have an impact on which version of Java you choose and also on the type of Java installation you perform. For example, if you plan on using a character set that is in the Java 6.0 Extended set, you must ensure that when you install Java, you install the complete international version (with both the Basic and Extended character encoding sets). Windows may or may not install the complete international version depending on the language setting of the operating system. To ensure that you get the complete set on Windows, you can perform a Custom installation and explicitly select full support.
• If you already have a version of Java or JRE - you should review your character encoding set requirements using the documents on the Oracle web site. Then, use the information in this section to ensure that the version you have will provide you with the character encoding set support you need.
