Client Tools Server Hardware Requirements

The following minimum requirements apply to the computer that hosts the CA GovernanceMinder Client Tools:

Note: Typically, you install the Client Tools on the same computer as the Workpoint Designer application. We recommend selecting a computer that satisfies the requirements of both packages.

• Processor—Intel Core2 Duo 2.4 GHz
• Memory—2-4 GB RAM
• Central database (RDBMS)—For a list of supported databases, see the Platform Support Matrix available at CA Technologies Support Online.

  Note: You do not need to install this central database on the same computer as the client tools. For information about system requirements for your RDBMS, see the documentation for your product.

In addition, the following software must be installed:

• Supported web browser—For a list of supported web browsers, see the Platform Support Matrix available at CA Technologies Support Online.
• .NET Framework—Version 1.1 or 2.0
• Microsoft XML—Version 6
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package—x86 or x64 version, depending on the target computer.

  Install this package after you install the .NET framework. On 64-bit computers, run the assembly registration utility (regasm.exe) after you install the package.

• (Optional) Microsoft SQL Native Client 2005—Only required if you reference a remote SQL Server instance or if you have a local Microsoft SQL 2008 database.
• (Optional) Oracle Client—Only required if you reference a remote Oracle Database instance. CA GovernanceMinder uses the following Oracle Client components: Oracle Database Utilities, SQL *Plus, Oracle Objects for OLE, and Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
• (Optional) Java Virtual Machine—Version 1.6_23 (minimum)

  Only required if you are installing the Workpoint Designer client on the same computer as the client tools.

  Note: For detailed information about Workpoint software installation and requirements, see the Workpoint documentation at the following location:

• Java Development Kit (JDK)—For a list of supported JDKs, see the Platform Support Matrix available at CA Technologies Support Online.

  This software and pathname configuration is required for the connector.

  On a Windows computer, add the pathname of this JDK instance to the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables. If necessary, create the JAVA_HOME variable.
