Additional Notes

The ENOVIA Live Collaboration Server software is now deployed as a 64-bit application. With 64-bit Server product, 64-bit JDK is also required.

MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.0 version is also required on all clients. For RHEL, unixODBC must be installed.

SQL Server 2008 requires native client version 10.0 On Solaris SPARC servers, a SPARC III Processor or higher is required.

Notes about Java

The Java prerequisites given in this page follow vendor's version naming conventions (SUN Java 6 update 19, IBM Java 6 SR7); it must not be mistaken for the "internal" version returned by 'java -version' command convention, which looks like "1.6.0_19".

Notes about WebSphere

For a deployment against an IBM WebSphere Application Server, the JDK which needs to be provided to the ENOVIA installation is the same as the one needed for Apache Tomcat on the targeted operating system (IBM Java 6 on AIX, Sun Java 6 on other operating systems, see Tomcat’s JDK definition for detailed version and fix level). The JDK embedded in WebSphere Application Server is solely used by this application server, it must not be used to run ENOVIA applications other than the ones deployed in WebSphere Application Server.

Notes about WebLogic

For a deployment against an Oracle WebLogic Application Server, the JDK which needs to be provided to the ENOVIA installation is the same as the one needed for Apache Tomcat on the targeted operating system (IBM Java 6 on AIX, Sun Java 6 on other operating systems, see Tomcat JDK definition for detailed version and fix level). The JDK embedded in WebLogic Application Server is solely used by this application server, it must not be used to run ENOVIA applications other than the ones deployed in WebLogic Application Server.

For a deployment against an Oracle WebLogic Application Server on AIX, WebLogic Application Server must be installed with the same JDK as the one needed for Apache Tomcat, as the embedded WebLogic JDK does not exist on AIX.

Note about Apache HTTP Server

The Apache HTTP server software modules mod_jk, mod_proxy_ajp and mod_proxy_http have been found to be incompatible, under certain conditions, with Dassault Systemes software when used as a software load balancers. Dassault Systemes will not attempt to install, configure, or resolve problems stemming from attempted installations.

Performance Tuning for Microsoft SQL Server

The two options “Auto create statistics” and “Auto update statistics” on Tempdb need to be set up to false instead of true (default settings). This can be performed either by user SQL/Server management studio or by executing following command:

USE [master] GO ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS OFF WITH NO_WAIT GO

13

ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] SET AUTO_UPDATE_STATISTICS OFF WITH NO_WAIT GO

This recommendation can be applied to all releases of Microsoft SQL Server and brings significant improvements on Microsoft SQL Server CPU and user response time for VPLM scenarios.

Warning: The new options settings described above will be effective on all Microsoft SQL Server Database instances, so either ENOVIA needs to be the only application using the Microsoft SQL Server installation or this change need to be compatible with all applications using this Microsoft SQL Server installation.

V6 Rich Client Hardware and Software Requirements This document is provided as a guideline regarding hardware configurations, operating system and operating system patches recommended for the use with this level of CATIA / DELMIA / ENOVIA / SIMULIA / 3DLive (including ENOVIA Studio For Rich Applications).

Only the following configurations will be supported for this release of CATIA / DELMIA / ENOVIA / SIMULIA / 3DLive:

19

Minimum RAM Requirements for ENOVIA Rich Clients The following table lists the minimum RAM requirements for each platform.

All Windows Operating System versions Windows XP delivers an implementation of OpenGL libraries. Dassault Systemes provides recommendations related to driver levels based on certified configurations at URL: http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/ . These drivers may offer a CATIA / DELMIA / ENOVIA / SIMULIA / 3DLive Version 6 application setting (see Control Panel, Display Properties tabs), which should be selected when available, as they may contain application specific features.

Windows XP 64-bit Operating System

Note : For a 64-bit process, memory consumption is completely different than for a 32-bit process. In this conditions, it is not pertinent to compare the "Virtual Bytes" counter of Perfmon between 32-bit process and 64-bit process. Although this counter is important to track for a 32-bit process because the global address space is limited to 4 GB including reserved virtual memory, for 64-bit process, virtual address space can reach 16 TB.

Windows 7 64-bit Operating System

Note :

V6 is not supported in Windows XP mode on Windows 7 V6 does not support "surrogate pair" on Windows 7

Notes about Java

1. The Java prerequisites given in this page follow vendor's version naming conventions (SUN Java 6 update 14); it must not be mistaken for the "internal" version returned by 'java -version' command convention, which looks like "1.6.0_14".

http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/�

20

2. A Java Run-time Environment (JRE) is required on client side if it is planned to use the Single Sign-On mode with the default Credentials Manager login solution.

3. On 64-bit Windows, if Lotus Instant Messaging is to be used, the 32-bit version of SUN JRE is needed. If the Credentials Manager is to be used, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the SUN JRE must be installed on the machine. During client installation, the path of the 64-bit version must be typed.

The Collaboration-specific set up instructions must be followed to give the path of the 32-bit JRE for Collaboration.

Notes about XML

1. On Windows, detailed information on MSXML 6 Service Pack 1 (KB954459), Product Version : 6.20.1099.0 can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954459. The dll itself can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-069.mspx

2. Using an MSXML 6.0 service pack including KB941180 is accepted and even recommended.

Additional Considerations for ENOVIA Studio For Rich Applications The following sections identify the system requirements for installation and activation of ENOVIA Studio For Rich Applications products :

(*): The simulation feature is not available on 64-bit platforms.

Note: No cross compilation is supported on Windows, 32-bit code must be built on a 32-bit platform and 64-bit code must be built on a 64-bit platform.

22

Additional Considerations for Grid Computing Support The Grid Computing software supports not only Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 but also Microsoft HPC Server 2008.

23

Platform support policy Platform – is a hardware architecture or a software framework which allows Dassault Systèmes products to run. Platforms can include one or several of the following components:

hardware architecture, operating system (including national language parameter settings), programming languages and frameworks, runtime libraries, application servers, databases other middleware …

Configurations – is a defined set of components with specified versions or version ranges of such components allowing the Dassault Systèmes products to run. This set of components depends upon the architecture (client, server …).

Platforms are categorized as:

Qualified – A Qualified Platform is a Platform that has undergone the most extensive testing. Dassault Systèmes offers full support for Dassault Systèmes products on the Qualified Platform environment and will address Platform specific issues. A Qualified Platform has had a set of automated and manual test cases executed against it with the expectation that all have passed. Installation and license testing have been completed. For each Qualified Platform there will be a lab machine configured and capable of running Dassault Systèmes software. Each Qualified Platform is tested on the Version, Release and Maintenance Deliveries it is documented in. Note that all possible combinations of Qualified Platforms are not leading to Qualified Configurations.

Validated – A Validated Platform has had basic installation testing performed along with a core set of functional tests that are designed to ensure that the basic functionality of the product is working. Dassault Systèmes offers full support for Dassault Systèmes products for Validated Platforms and will address Platform specific issues. Validated Platforms are not necessarily available in Dassault Systèmes lab. Note that all possible combinations of Validated Platforms are not leading to Validated Configurations.

Compatible - A Compatible Platform or Configuration has passed minimal or no testing at any level by Dassault Systèmes and the environment is most likely not available as a configured environment in Dassault Systèmes lab. However, relying upon Platform vendor upward compatibility rules or support policy, there is no known technical reason why Dassault Systèmes products will not work on a Compatible Platform Configuration. Dassault Systèmes will not list all the Compatible Platforms, but customers can contact Dassault Systèmes support to check if a Platform or a Configuration is Compatible. The customer also must understand that Dassault Systèmes makes no guarantees with regard to resolving issues that are Platform specific on Compatible Platforms.

InCompatible – A Platform is InCompatible if it has been confirmed that our products will not operate on it.

Withdrawn – A Withdrawn Platform is a Platform, formerly Certified, Qualified, Validated or Compatible for which Dassault Systèmes no longer provides support for its software. Withdrawn Platforms reached their end-of-life and will soon be removed from the supported platform matrix available in the Dassault Systèmes software Program Directory or on Dassault Systèmes web site.

Not Listed - If a Platform is not listed, by default, no information is available and no consideration has been given as to whether it will or will not work. Dassault Systèmes will not attempt to install, configure or resolve problems stemming from attempted installations.

It is specifically understood that Dassault Systèmes will make reasonable efforts to assist customer with support of Dassault Systèmes products on Qualified, Validated and/or Compatible Configurations. However, customer remains fully responsible to maintain continuous support arrangements, relationship and contacts with third party providers of any elements of a Platform to determine issues related to third party provider's products.

CATIA / DELMIA / SIMULIA

Hardware Requirements

The following requirements are common to all operating systems supported by CATIA, DELMIA and SIMULIA Version 6 unless otherwise specified.

The following requirements are common to all operating systems supported by CATIA Version 6 unless otherwise specified.

Disk drive: disk drive (minimum recommended free size is 4 GB) is required to store program executables (installation of all CATIA Version 6 Products requires 2.0 GB on Windows), program data, usage environment and paging space. Removable storage: a CD-ROM drive is required for program installation.

Network Adapter: an active Ethernet adapter is required for licensing purposes.

System Unit: workstation with x86 Intel or AMD Processors. Refer to the Dassault Systemes website : http://www.3ds.com/support/hardware-certification/windows-certified-workstations/ to see the list of certified configurations

Memory: For Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition SP2 :3 GB of RAM is the minimum recommended amount of memory for all applications. For Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition or Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise Edition : 3 GB of RAM is the minimum recommended amount of memory for all applications ; For Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2, Microsoft Windows Vista Business 64-bit Edition or Microsoft Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit Edition : 6 GB of RAM is the minimum recommended amount of memory for all applications ; Requirements may be greater when large amount of data are used.

Keyboard: a specific keyboard compatible with selected installation locale may be required for national language support.

Display: A graphic color display compatible with the selected platform-specific graphic adapter. The minimum recommended size for usability reasons is 17 inches. Minimum resolution for Windows workstations is 1280x1024.

Graphic Adapter: A graphic adapter with 3D OpenGL accelerator is required. OpenGL 2.1 is required for Shader capabilities (Vertex shader & Pixel shader). Note that graphic performance on local transformations (panning, zooming, rotating model) will depend on the selected graphic adapter. When selecting a graphic adapter, hardware texturing capability is strongly recommended when using CATIA Version 6 products that use texture mapping, in which case the amount of RAM has to be adequate for the number and complexity of textures to be used. The graphic adapter should have the following capabilities:

• 32 bits, true color, double buffered visual • minimum video memory is 128 MB but it is recommended to have 512 MB • 24 bits Z-buffer • 8-bit Stencil buffer

Pointing device: 3-button mouse. On Windows workstations, a 2-button mouse may alternatively be used (the third button is emulated with a keyboard sequence). The 3 button mouse is recommended for usability reasons. IntelliMouse (two buttons plus wheel) is an alternative to the three-button mouse on Windows workstations, the wheel acting as the middle button and allowing additional manipulations such as panning and scrolling.

Optional components and features:

Virtualization PLM V6R2011x products have not been certified to operate in a software virtualized environment (ie VMWare).

IBM Power Series 6 support For QA testing purposes, IBM PowerVM technologies were used to enable resource sharing & virtualization. A Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) for sharing physical resources between LPARs including virtual SCSI and virtual networking. Shared processor LPARs were defined to host the AIX and VIOS LPARs. The use of the virtualization technology was used for testing purpose and is not mandatory, as implementing a Power Systems server with all hardware resources assigned to a single LPAR running AIX is also a supported system environment. Each LPAR is assigned a unique system identifier ("target id") as required by the DSLS (Dassault Systemes Licensing Server) required for any license enrollment.

45

Certified Platforms

Certified Hardware for Workstations Specific hardware configurations are Certified for each version/release of PLM products. Certified configurations have undergone manual and automated testing of a full set of tests and scenarios for a given platform, which includes the hardware, operating system, runtime libraries, database, etc. The Certified hardware configuration may specify items like processor and clock speed, graphics adapters, etc. A hardware configuration is Certified for the life cycle of the release. The certified hardware configurations for Windows and Unix can be found at the following URL:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=886&context=SW860&uid=swg27012978

Derived Configurations In addition to certified configurations, configurations indicated as Derived workstations are also supported. Although they may not have been specifically tested they are considered derived from certified configurations. Derived configurations may include items like different clock speed, different cache size, different network subsystem, etc., where the main subsystems remain unchanged (chipset and graphic adapter). PLM products might run on other configurations which have not been certified or derived, but if a reported problem is determined to be specific to or caused by configuration which is neither certified or derived, support will end at that point.
