Software Requirements

Before installing this product, you must have the following software installed on your computer:

• The "ed", "sed" and "tar" utilities must be installed and added to the PATH.
• On Red Hat, if SELinux is installed, the "SELINUX" configuration must be disabled. To do this, set SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config.

  This enables the Micro Focus License daemons to start when the machine is booted and the Micro Focus tools and programs to run correctly.

• The pax archiving utility is required by the setup file. Pax is distributed with most UNIX/Linux systems but, if it is missing, you must install it separately. To verify pax is installed, run pax --help or pax --version at the command line.

  On Red Hat 8.1, pax is no longer installed by default. You must install the spax version found in the OS ISO. Use the yum install spax command.

• Required libraries for Red Hat and SUSE Linux platforms - The installer checks that both the 32-bit and 64-bit libraries listed below are installed on both 32-bit and on 64-bit Operating Systems for this product to install and work correctly.

  If installing on a 64-bit OS, the 32-bit libraries are not installed by default and must be installed before you start the installation.

  Library	32-bit Library Name	64-bit Library Name	Platform
  			s390	SUSE 121	SUSE 151	Red Hat 6.x	Red Hat 7	Red Hat 8
  glibc2	glibc-*.i686	glibc-*.x86_64	glibc-*.s390			X	X	X
  libgcc	libgcc-*.i686	libgcc-*.x86_64	libgcc-*.s390			X	X	X
  libstdc++	libstdc++-*.i686	libstdc++-*.x86_64	libstdc++-*.s390			X	X	X
  elfutils-libelf	elfutils-libelf.i386 or elfutils-libelf.i686	elfutils-libelf.x86-64	N/A			X	X	X

• ¹On SUSE 12 or 15, you can only install the 64-bit version of this product. The glibc-locale-32bit library is still required by the SafeNet Sentinel licensed components.
• ²On 64-bit Red Hat 7, you only need to install glibc-2.17*.x86_64 and glibc-2.17*.i686.

• Java 8 (32 or 64-bit versions), and Java 11 (64-bit version only) are supported for executing JVM COBOL code and for native COBOL and Java interoperability. You can download AdoptOpenJDK's OpenJDK 8 with Hotspot from AdoptOpenJDK's Web site and unpack the archive anywhere on your machine.
  Note:

  • On AIX and zLinux, you need to have IBM's JDK. The earliest supported release of IBM's JDK is 7.0 Service Refresh 8. If you install IBM's JDK 8, on AIX you must install its latest fix - JDK 8 SR5 FP16. You can get IBM's AIX JDK from IBM's Web site.
  • On HP-UX, you need to have HP-UX JDK. The earliest supported release of HP-UX is JDK 7.0.11. You can get the HP-UX Java JDK from HP's Web site.
  • On Solaris platforms (both SPARC and Intel) only the 64-bit version of Java 8 and later is supported.

Before you start the installation, you need to set the environment as follows:

• You need to set the LANG environment variable to pick up localized messages. The LANG settings are English and Japanese only.
• JavaScript or scripting support must be enabled in your browser, so that Enterprise Server Administration is usable. Also, active content must be allowed and not blocked.
