Software Requirements

Operating Systems and Supported Platforms

For details regarding supported platforms, refer to the Release Notes. For the most updated information refer to the Software AG Empower website at https://empower.softwareag.com.

ApplinX server is Java-based and can run on a Java Virtual Machine 1.8. ApplinX can run independently as an independent Java process (this is the default Windows/UNIX installation), or as a J2EE application under one of the following application servers:

  • Apache Tomcat 7.0.27, 8.0.18, 8.5, 9

  • Oracle WebLogic 12.1.3

  • WildFly 23.0.1 / JBoss EAP 7.3

  • Microsoft IIS 7.5, 8, 8.5, 10

  • WebSphere 9.0.x

When running ApplinX as a J2EE application, the ApplinX server needs to be deployed with the Deployment Manager for J2EE (refer to Deploying with ApplinX in the Designing and Developing an Application documentation. It is possible to run ApplinX as a standalone server.

ApplinX Repository

ApplinX uses an internal database as a repository, based on the H2 database. External databases used as repository are no longer supported and will be migrated to the internal DB configuration. If you are using the JDBC/ODBC bridge, you will need to migrate manually. See Migration of ApplinX Applications with External Database.
