Compatibility Information: Automation Engine
The Automation Engine serves as the central processing hub of your Automic Automation system. Ensuring strict compatibility between the Automation Engine and its components is critical for maintaining a high-performing, secure, and reliable automation infrastructure.
This section details the supported versions, prerequisites, and integration requirements for the Automation Engine and its core components/sub-components. Use this information when planning upgrades, deploying new features, or troubleshooting system integrations to guarantee your environment remains fully supported and operates at peak efficiency.

| Hardware Info |
Minimum requirements: Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM Production system: Intel Core 2 Quad, at least 12 GB RAM |
| Installation Hints |
AE on Linux and MS SQL on Windows, both ae and database should be on the same type of OS For multi-server operation, the computers on which the Server processes are installed must be of the same platform (e.g. 2 computers with Linux). Combining computers with different UNIX derivatives or using a mixture of UNIX and Windows is not possible. |

The size of the Automation Engine Database highly depends on the size of the system and its capacity. It may range from 20 GB to several hundred GBs. Test system: Intel Core 2 Duo, at least 4 GB RAM Production system: Intel Core 2 Quad, at least 20 GB RAM |
| Installation Hints |
Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition currently only supports PostgreSQL and Oracle PostgreSQL is not supported with AE on AIX. PostgreSQL is not supported with AE on zLinux. The latency period when the Automation Engine accesses the Database should not be too high (ping response with 8k packet size < 1ms). We recommend to use the database client from version 19c which is also compatible with all supported Oracle versions below. Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server cloud managed database services are no longer explicitly stated, but are supported as long as the requirements defined in the documentation are met. |
