Software prerequisites

The software prerequisites that you require depend on the deployment pattern and deployment topology of i2® Analyze that you want to deploy.

The software prerequisites that you might require are:

  • A supported database management system.
    • IBM® Db2® Enterprise Server, Advanced Enterprise Server, Workgroup Server, or Advanced Workgroup Server editions at version 11.1 Fix Pack 3 or later, or Advanced and Standard editions at version 11.5.

      IBM Db2 Standard Edition - VPC Option - version 11.5 is included with i2 Analyze.

      For more information about how to install Db2, see Installing IBM Db2 for i2 Analyze.

    • Microsoft™ SQL Server Standard or Enterprise editions at version 14.0 (2017) or 15.0 (2019).

      For more information about how to install SQL Server, see Installing Microsoft SQL Server for i2 Analyze.

  • An HTTP server that supports a reverse proxy.

    If you decide to use an HTTP server, it must be configured to handle WebSocket requests.

    The deployment toolkit can automatically configure an IBM HTTP Server instance on the server where the i2 Analyze application is deployed to act as a reverse proxy. To support this approach, you must install IBM HTTP Server 9.0.0.7.

    For more information about how to install IBM HTTP Server, see Installing IBM HTTP Server for i2 Analyze.
