Client Application Requirements

The following minimum requirements apply to the computer that hosts the CA RCM client applications:

• CA RCM Data Management (DM)
• CA RCM Discovery & Audit (DNA)

Note: Typically, you install these applications 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
• A central database (RDBMS)—For a list of supported databases, see the CA RCM Compatibility Matrix that is available from the CA RCM product page on CA Support Online.

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

In addition, the following software must be installed:

• A supported web browser—For a list of supported web browsers, see the CA RCM Compatibility Matrix that is available from the CA RCM product page on CA Support Online.
• .NET Framework—Version 1.1 or 2.0

  To support data exchange and other interactions with CA Identity Manager, you copy SDK and configuration files from the target CA Identity Manager computer to all computers hosting CA RCM components.

  Note: For detailed information about CA RCM configuration for integration with CA Identity Manager, see the Connector for CA Identity Manager Guide.

• 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.
