With the exception of the command-line administration utilities and the tools provided on NetWare, the administration tools employ a Java 2 runtime environment, version 1.4.1.

The following paragraphs are taken from the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition documentation, and apply to the administration tools:

The Java™ 2 SDK is intended for use on Microsoft Windows 95, 98 (1st or 2nd edition), NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5, Me, 2000 Professional, 2000 Server, 2000 Advanced Server, or XP operating systems running on Intel hardware.

A Pentium 166MHz or faster processor with at least 32 megabytes of physical RAM is required to run graphically based applications. Forty-eight megabytes of RAM is recommended for applets running within a browser using the Java Plug-in product. Running with less memory may cause disk swapping which has a severe effect on performance. Very large programs may require more RAM for adequate performance.

You should have 70 megabytes of free disk space before attempting to install the Java 2 SDK software. If you also want to install the documentation download bundle, you will need an additional 120 megabytes of free disk space.

In non-English locales, only the Professional edition of Windows 2000 is supported.

1 ODBC driver manager may not be available. May have to link directly to ODBC driver.

2 Requires iAnywhere Solutions ODBC driver. For a list of supported platforms, see iAnywhere Solutions ODBC drivers supported platforms.

3 The older interface to external stored procedures is available only in 32-bit software.

4 Requires Visual Studio.NET with .NET Compact Framework version 1.0.5000 or later.

5 Windows NT/2000/XP only

6 A more limited version than is provided on other operating systems

7 A more limited version than is provided on other operating systems
