BEA Tuxedo 8.1 Platform Data Sheets
The following sections provide platform-specific information for the platforms on which the BEA Tuxedo 8.1 system software is supported:
Note: Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit) data sheet information is applicable to Microsoft Windows XP (Professional) systems.
Supported Platforms
The following table lists the platforms on which the BEA Tuxedo system is supported for Release 8.1.
Additional software ports and certifications may continue after the initial release of BEA Tuxedo 8.1. For information regarding subsequent ports and certifications, please refer to the Platform Support information on the BEA web site at the following link:
http://www.bea.com/products/tuxedo/platforms.shtml
Platform information is maintained under the "Requirements" option under the Tuxedo product page.
Note: More detailed platform information is maintained on the secured eSupport portal under "Product News and EOL Updates." A customer eSupport password login is required. The eSupport link is:
Note: BEA Jolt 8.1 and BEA SNMP Agent 8.1 are supported on the same platforms that are supported by BEA Tuxedo 8.1.
A data sheet is provided for each platform. Each data sheet includes the following platform-specific information:
Platform Support Policy
The BEA policy regarding discontinuance of operating system platform support for Tuxedo and related products is as follows:
Other virtualization software environments (such as VMWare), are also considered supported, provided that the virtualization software environment is supported by the operating system vendor and the support criteria specified in the operating system data sheets are met.
For more information, see Supported Platforms (Initial Release) andSupported Platforms (Post Release Ports/Certifications).
End of Life Platform Expectancy Table
This section contains the End-of Life expectancy table for Tuxedo 9.1 supported platforms.
Note: OS EOL dates may have changed since time of this publication. Check with vendor for current OS EOL dates.
EOL information for all BEA products can be found at: http://support.bea.com/product_news/Product_Retirement_Calendar.xls
Install Sets
An install set is a bundle of product software components related by function. BEA Tuxedo 8.1 offers the following six install sets:
In addition to selecting an install set during a BEA Tuxedo 8.1 installation, a user can further customize the installation by selecting (adding) or deselecting (deleting) one or more software components from the install set. Customizing is only possible for the GUI-mode installation method described in Installing BEA Tuxedo Using GUI-Mode Installation; it is not possible for the console-mode or silent-mode installation method.
SSL and LLE are available with two levels of encryption: 56-bit and 128-bit. Licenses for the 128-bit client versions of SSL and LLE are available in the United States and Canada. With proper authorization, customers outside the United States and Canada may also acquire licenses with 128-bit encryption enabled. For information about purchasing licenses, contact BEA Sales at http://www.bea.com/contact/sales1.shtml.
Supported Platforms (Initial Release)
The platforms in this section are available with the Tuxedo 8.1 initial GA release and are available on the Tuxedo 8.1 Product CD and on the BEA dev2dev web site as a product download. The data sheets for each of these platforms are listed as follows:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit) on Pentium
The following sections list BEA Tuxedo 8.1 requirements for Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit) systems on Pentium systems.

For descriptions of BEA Tuxedo install sets, see Install Sets.
Hardware Requirements for Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit)
Software Requirements for Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit)
Additional Notes:
Look for documentation from the compiler vendor that provides assurance that the version of compiler you want to use is compatible with the tested version of the compiler. The compatibility assurance must be provided for the following:
C/C++ source code that was compiled and linked using the tested version will compile with the newer version of complier without requiring any changes.
Libraries and executables built using the tested version will run with libraries and executables that are built with the newer version of compilers.
Network Requirements for Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit)
TCP/IP provided by Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit Winsock).
Disk Space Requirements for Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit)
The disk space requirements for installation on Windows 2000 (Intel) systems depends on which install set and components you select during the installation. Use the estimates in the following table as guidelines. These requirements assume the installation of the default components for the selected install set and have been rounded up to the nearest megabyte (MB).
Tunable Parameters for Windows 2000 Advanced Server (32-bit) Before running the BEA Tuxedo software, you may need to reconfigure the interprocess communication (IPC) parameters shown in the figure titled "BEA Administration Window with IPC Resources Page Displayed" on page 2-13 in Using BEA Tuxedo ATMI on Windows. For instructions about reconfiguring the IPC parameters, see "Configuring IPC Resources to Maximize System Performance" on page 2-12 in Using BEA Tuxedo ATMI on Windows and Checking IPC Requirements. Solaris 8 (32-bit) on SPARC The following sections list BEA Tuxedo 8.1 requirements for Solaris 8 (32-bit) systems on SPARC. Available BEA Tuxedo 8.1 Install Sets for Solaris 8 (32-bit)
For descriptions of BEA Tuxedo install sets, see Install Sets.

Software Requirements for Solaris 8 (32-bit)
Additional Notes
Look for documentation from the compiler vendor that provides assurance that the version of compiler you want to use is compatible with the tested version of the compiler. The compatibility assurance must be provided for the following:
C/C++ source code that was compiled and linked using the tested version will compile with the newer version of complier without requiring any changes.
Libraries and executables built using the tested version will run with libraries and executables that are built with the newer version of compilers.
Network Requirements for Solaris 8 (32-bit)
TCP/IP using the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) network interface.
Disk Space Requirements for Solaris 8 (32-bit)
The disk space requirements for installation on Solaris 8 (32-bit) SPARC systems depends on which install set and components you select during the installation. Use the estimates in the following table as guidelines. These requirements assume the installation of the default components for the selected install set and have been rounded up to the nearest megabyte (MB).
Mounting and Unmounting the CD for Solaris 8 (32-bit) The Solaris Volume Management software automatically mounts CDs on /cdrom/cdrom0/s0. It is not necessary to unmount CDs on Solaris systems. However, it is necessary to issue a command to open the CD reader. To open the CD reader, cd to / (root) and enter eject. Tunable Parameters for Solaris 8 (32-bit) You probably need to reconfigure the Solaris kernel before running BEA Tuxedo 8.1 software because the default values of some tunable parameters are too low. To adjust the tunable parameters, follow these steps:
The following table shows the default settings for the parameters and the settings used for the BEA Tuxedo University sample applications. Use these settings as a starting point, but keep in mind that your applications may require different settings.
The tunable parameters currently set on your system are in the kernel configuration file located in the /etc directory (/etc/machine_name). This file typically has the same name as the machine (node) name.
Supported Platforms (Post Release Ports/Certifications)
The platforms in this section are post-GA ports that are available on the BEA dev2dev web site as a product download. The supported platform content is abbreviated for the ported platforms. Please contact BEA Customer Support regarding any additional platform support issues.
