Introduction The IBM Initiate Master Data Service System Requirements outlines the basic server and workstation hardware and software required to run the IBM Initiate Master Data Service 9.7 platform components. The specifications do not consider requirements for vendor software or other customer requirements. The information provides initial configuration guidance; your specific configuration will be based on the needs and requirements of your organization. Consult with your account or project manager before finalizing your configuration. Copyright IBM Corp. 1995, 2012 vii

Microsoft Windows operating system registry: All connections to the Master Data Engine hub used by IBM Initiate Workbench are stored in the Microsoft Windows system registry. It is important that users running IBM Initiate Workbench have appropriate access rights within the operating system to create registry entries. 2. Microsoft SQL Server 7.5: Customers upgrading with SQL Server 7.5 should confirm vendor software requirements with your project manager. 3. Operating systems: All operating systems must be 64 bit. 4. JDK version: JDK 1.6. This JDK is bundled in the component installers where applicable. Using a JDK version older than 1.6 with any IBM Initiate Master Data Service components is not supported.
