System Requirements for Unix

This page describes the system requirements for installing Automic Automation Intelligence on UNIX.

This page includes the following:

OS Requirements

Automic Automation Intelligence can be run on the following Linux/Unix Operating Systems:

  • Modern, Vendor-Supported Linux Distributions such as RHEL, SUSE, or Oracle Unbreakable Linux
  • Oracle Solaris 8 or later
  • HP-UX 11 or later
  • AIX

Note: VMware environments are supported as long as the OS loaded on the VMware image is one of the supported Operating Systems listed above.

Sizing the Environment

The amount of memory, disk space, CPU, and database sizing required for Automic Automation Intelligence the Sizing Worksheet. Fill in the following fields:

  • Total Number of Jobs in all Scheduler Instances
  • Total Number of Scheduler Instances
  • Number of Days of History Retention
  • Percentage of Job count growth per year (example 10%)

A summary of values will be returned to provide configuration:

  • Memory
  • CPU Cores
  • Disk Space
  • Database sizing

Note: The sizing information above applies to environments with less than 250,000 jobs. For larger installations, contact Broadcom and a Client Services Consultant can assist with configuring Automic Automation Intelligence.

Application Components

JBoss

JBoss is an open-source Java application server. The server acts as a web server (port configurable) and hosts the application in the form of an Applet. The app server connects to the various databases on behalf of the client applet and manages all database connections. (http://www.jboss.org).

Automic Automation Intelligence Database

This is the application database and stores configuration information, user information, business view hierarchies, historical run data, and copies of the job definitions from the scheduler instances. The DBMS supported are SQL Server 2012 + and Oracle 11 or higher.

Database Requirements

Options for the Automic Automation Intelligence database:

  • SQL Server - 2012 or later
  • Oracle - Version 11 or later

Notes:

  • Due to licensing restrictions, Broadcom cannot ship JDBC drivers for the Oracle Database Management System. To connect Automic Automation Intelligence to any Oracle database (scheduler database or Automic Automation Intelligence database) for further information, see Support for Non-Redistributable Database Drivers
  • The Automic Automation Intelligence database needs to be created as case sensitive.

Java Requirements

Java JDK 1.8 + is required for the Automic Automation Intelligence Application Server environment.

Note: A full JDK installation is required to run the Automic Automation Intelligence server. The JRE (Java Runtime Envoirnment) is not sufficient.
