System requirements

General Information
  • Pease refer to the WebSphere Message Broker README for the latest information on this environment.
  • Please note that there are two editions of WebSphere Message Broker V7.0 available on Windows:
    • WebSphere Message Broker V7.0 Windows x86 (32-bit Broker runtime)
    • WebSphere Message Broker V7.0 Windows x86-64 (64-bit Broker runtime)
    Be aware that the 64-bit edition is not supported on all 64-bit versions of the Windows Operating System, so please check the list below of supported Operating Systems for the Message Broker Runtime Environment for each broker edition.
  • Where patches for a product are specified, this means that these patches were required to resolve problems found during testing and should therefore be considered as the minimum necessary maintenance level. Further maintenance should be applied in accordance with the guidance of the relevant software manufacturer.
  • Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere Message Broker. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, WebSphere Message Broker has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere Message Broker Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.
