NaturalONE supports the following 64-bit operating system platforms:
Microsoft Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise
Microsoft Windows Server 2012
Microsoft Windows Server 2016
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12
CentOS Linux 7
Home Editions of Microsoft Windows are not supported.
For Windows, the runtime components of NaturalONE are always 32-bit applications, even on 64-bit platforms.
Notes:
NaturalONE supports the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 11
Microsoft Edge
Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release 52
(1)
Google Chrome (2)
(1) Only the Extended Support Releases of Mozilla Firefox are explicitly supported. Due to frequent upgrades of the Mozilla Firefox consumer release, the compatibility of NaturalONE with future versions of Mozilla Firefox cannot be fully guaranteed. Possible incompatibilities will be removed during the regular maintenance process of NaturalONE.
(2) The Google Chrome support is based on Google Chrome Version 67. Due to frequent version upgrades of Google Chrome, compatibility of NaturalONE with future versions of Google Chrome cannot be fully guaranteed. Possible incompatibilities will be removed during the regular maintenance process of NaturalONE.
To get the complete functionality of NaturalONE, specific Natural versions are required. For further information, see Using an Existing Natural Development Server Environment.
NaturalONE is part of the Software AG Designer, which is based on Eclipse Version 4.7.3a.
If you prefer to use NaturalONE in your existing Eclipse environment, Eclipse Version 4.7.3a is required. For further information, see Using Your Own Eclipse.
On Windows, Java is automatically installed with NaturalONE when you start the Software AG Installer GUI using the .exe file. No further steps are required. However, when you want to start the installer using the .jar file instead of the .exe file, Oracle Java Version 1.8 must already be installed. This is required to run the installer.
On Linux, Java is not installed with NaturalONE. Oracle Java Version 1.8 is required in this case. You can download this from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
Note:
IBM Java or the GCJ Java should not be used with our products for
Linux x86 and x86-64 platforms. Use only Oracle Java for our products on Linux
x86 and x86-64.
Up to 3 GB of hard disk space are required for NaturalONE (Eclipse development installation with service enabling and NaturalONE and EntireX runtimes).
Important:
These hardware requirements are for NaturalONE only. They do
not include any additions such as RDBMSs. You must determine the overall
hardware requirements depending on your development scenario.
To make use of a larger amount of memory on a 64-bit operating system, you have to adapt the eclipse.ini file in the installation directory of the Software AG Designer (<your-installation-directory>/Designer/eclipse/eclipse.ini). Because the required amount of memory is application-dependent, it is not possible to give definite recommendations on how the parameters in this file should be set. Getting the appropriate values is an iterative process.
A good starting point for your own configuration tests are the following parameter values in the eclipse.ini file:
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize 512m -Xmx2048m
XXMaxPermSize is used for static data. A value of 512
MB should be a sufficient setting.
You may change the Xmx parameter which specifies the
maximum amount of memory that the Java runtime is able to get. With the value
in the above example, you allocate 2048 MB.
