Server Hardware Requirements

The following minimum hardware and software prerequisites apply to the production platforms that host the CA GovernanceMinder server and Workpoint server.

• Processor—Intel multicore processors with minimum 2.4 GHz. Four processors are required, configured as two dual-core processors or a single quad-core processor.
• Memory—8-GB RAM
• Available disk space—80 GB
• 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 CA GovernanceMinder. For information about system prerequisites for your RDBMS, see the documentation for your product.

In addition, the CA GovernanceMinder server must have the following software installed:

• (Optional) Active Directory—An enterprise user store that is used to manage access to the CA GovernanceMinder portal

  If you are not using an enterprise user store, CA GovernanceMinder uses its own user store (the users database).

  Note: You do not need to install this user store on the same computer as CA GovernanceMinder. For information about system prerequisites, see the Active Directory product documentation. For supported versions, see the Platform Support Matrix available at CA Technologies Support Online.

• Java Development Kit (JDK)—CA GovernanceMinder 12.6.1 requires Oracle Java SE Development Kit 6u45 (1.6_45) as a prerequisite for the JBoss 5.1 application server that is installed with the product. For a list of supported JDKs, see the Platform Support Matrix available at CA Technologies Support Online.

  Add the pathname of this JDK instance to the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables in the System variables area in the Environment Variables window. If necessary, create the JAVA_HOME variable there.

  Note: When using a 64-bit JDK, and available memory is greater than 1400M (default), set the JVM maximum setting at 4 GB.
