This document covers the following topics:


Operating Environments

Operating System

Entire System Server (NPR) functions in any Linux environment that supports Natural Version 8.3.x.

Note
Starting with Natural for Linux and Cloud version 9.2, UNIX platforms are no longer supported. Instead, Software AG promotes applications for Linux and Cloud. However, some Add-On products still run with older versions of Natural and therefore will still be able to support UNIX platforms.

Memory Space Requirements

There are no specific memory requirements for operating the product.

Disk Space Requirements

Approximately 1 MB of hard-disk space is required for Entire System Server (NPR) (without any Software AG Installer packages). This value depends on the installation hardware. On some platforms, it is higher.

If you install other products together with Entire System Server (NPR) in one step, see the installation documentation for these products for further information.

With Entire System Server 2.1 SP8 the following components will be installed automatically:

  • EntireX Libraries Version 9.10 or higher

Additional Software Requirements for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (x86-64)

Before installing Entire Systems Server (NPR) on your machine, you first have to install the package libxcrypt-compat.

You can do that by running the command:

yum install libxcrypt-compat
