Installing DataConnect Runtime Engine on AIX
Minimum System Requirements for AIX
Before installing DataConnect Runtime Engine on IBM AIX, your system must meet the minimum requirements provided in this section.
Operating System and Software Requirements
• IBM AIX 7.2 or later
• IBM Open XL C/C++ runtime for AIX 17.1
The required XL C/C++ runtime packages can be obtained in a combined fix pack from IBM Support’s Fix Central.
• DataConnect contains an embedded IBM Semeru™ Java Runtime Environment (JRE) based on OpenJDK 11.0.19+7.
Based on internal testing, those who wish to use one of the DataConnect Java SDKs should download and use the Eclipse Temurin™ JDK by Adoptium as their primary Java runtime. The DataConnect SDKs require at least Java 11, so we recommend Eclipse Temurin™ 11.0.19+7.
Hardware Requirements
• 4-core 2.8 to 3.8 GHz processor
• At least 2 GB free hard drive space to install DataConnect
• 8 GB high-speed RAM
Runtime Engine Requirements
In addition to the minimum requirements for your operating system, each additional running Runtime Engine on the same machine requires the following:
• 2 GB high speed RAM
• 1–2 available processor cores
• A valid engine license
Note:  These minimum requirements assumes that the DataConnect Engine has full access to available resources and is executing in a dedicated physical or virtual server.
