TDV Studio

This page lists system requirements for TIBCO® Data Virtualization Server version 8.8.

Hardware

TDV performance depends on processor speeds, available memory, network bandwidth, data source response times, query join types, the complexity of views, and many other implementation factors. Fast response times and support for a large active user base and large loads are achieved with:

• Fast multi-core CPUs
• Large amounts of RAM
• Ample disk space
• GB Ethernet network connections on the same subnet as the most heavily trafficked data source

If hardware configurations are less than optimal, TDV functions equally well, although more slowly, for most development tasks. Given below are the minimum hardware requirements.

Processor

Minimum: 2 CPUs/cores

Recommended: 8 CPUs/cores
RAM

Minimum: 8 GB memory

Recommended: 32 GB memory
Hard Disk Space

Minimum: 8 GB read/write, persistent storage.

  • 2.0 GB for TDV installation

  • 1.0 GB for the TDV repository database

  • 5.0 GB for future growth (e.g. default TDV temp directory, TDV VCS data, logs, file cached data, and future TDV patch/Java/repository software updates)

Recommended: 32 GB of readable/writable persistent storage

For details about different TDV deployments, please refer to Sizing Guidelines for TDV.

Software
Operating System

  • Microsoft Windows 10

  • Microsoft Windows 11

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Standard

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard

TDV Server Software

An older version of TDV Studio can connect to a newer version of TDV Server.
For example:

• Connecting a 8.6.0 Studio with a 8.7.0 or 8.8.0 Server is supported.
• Connecting a 8.8.0 Studio with a 8.5.0 Server is not supported.
Java Support

Java version "17.0.7" 2023-04-18 LTS
Support for Virtualization Environments

The TDV Server is fully supported and can be hosted in operation systems run on virtualization platforms such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Hyper-V, VMware Fusion and Oracle VirtualBox as long as the Server is run on a supported OS platform and version that is listed above.
Network IPv4
Authentication Methods

  • Composite (Default)

  • NTLM

  • Kerberos

  • OAuth

Kerberos Support

Enterprise users can leverage Kerberos infrastructure to authenticate just once to secure access to TDV-defined resources. The duration of an authenticated session is set by the Kerberos administrator.

TDV supports pass-through of the Kerberos tokens from the authenticated client through TDV to the Kerberos server and to the data sources.

The TIBCO® Data Virtualization Server, data sources, and clients of the TDV Server must be configured to support Kerberos token pass-through and SSO.

The KDC Kerberos v5 Server must already be installed and running in your environment before you install TDV Server and Studio. You then configure the Kerberos system to use with TDV, establishing a security context in which Kerberos and the TDV identify each other.
