Notes:
  1. Always check the WebSphere Event Broker Requirements Web site and the readme.html file for the latest information about supported processors.

    A readme file is supplied on the product DVD or CD (for runtime components and for the Message Brokers Toolkit), and you can access it from the final panel of the relevant installation program. However, the files are updated occasionally; access the product readmes Web page to check that you have the latest level.

  2. Start of changeAny hardware is supported that is explicitly compatible and fully capable of running the specified operating system, all corresponding supporting software detailed in this information center, and any associated applications unmodified.End of change
  3. The +DAportable flag cannot be used for 64-bit compilations, therefore PA-RISC 1.1 chips are no longer supported.
  4. The Message Brokers Toolkit requires an Intel Pentium® III (or higher) processor-based computer with a processor speed of at least 700 MHz. This specification is the minimum supported level; for improved performance use a 2GHz processor.

    A minimum display resolution of at least 1024 x 768 is required for some dialogs (for example, the Preferences dialog).

  5. You must install OS/400® Version 5 Release 2 or Version 5 Release 3 on the iSeries Server to exploit this support.
  6. See the Program Directory for WebSphere Event Broker for z/OS for further details.
