Operating systems/
Databases

All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run on any platform that is Oracle JDK 1.7/1.8 or OpenJDK 8 compliant.

Note

WSO2 API Manager is also compatible with IBM JDK 1.7.*/1.8.*. For more information on JDKs that WSO2 products are tested with, see Tested Operating Systems and JDKs.
If you want to start WSO2 API Manager with IBM JDK, open the <API-M_HOME>/repository/conf/security/Owasp.CsrfGuard.Carbon.properties file and replace org.owasp.csrfguard.PRNG.Provider=SUN with org.owasp.csrfguard.PRNG.Provider=IBMJCE.

All WSO2 Carbon-based products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. The embedded H2 database is suitable for development, testing, and some production environments. For most enterprise production environments, however, we recommend you use an industry-standard RDBMS such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL, etc. For more information, see Working with Databases. Additionally, we do not recommend the H2 database as a user store.
It is not recommended to use Apache DS in a production environment due to scalability issues. Instead, use an LDAP like OpenLDAP for user management.
On a production deployment, it is recommended that WSO2 products are installed on latest releases of RedHat Enterprise Linux or Ubuntu Server LTS.
For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see Compatibility of WSO2 Products.
To find out if this version of the product has issues running on your OS due to the JDK version, see Known Incompatibilities.
If you have difficulty in setting up any WSO2 product in a specific platform or database, please contact us.

To run Apache Ant.

OpenJDK 8

JDK 1.7.*/1.8.*

Note

title	Important!

Some updates of JDK 1.8 (for example, JDK1.8.0_151) are affected by a known issue related to GZIP decoding. Until this issue is fixed, we recommend one of the following approaches:

Use either JDK1.8.0_144 or JDK1.8.0_077 updates. We have verified that these versions are not affected by the known issue.
Alternatively, you can disable GZIP decoding for your product by following the steps given below. This will ensure that your product is not affected by the known issue.
1. Open the catalina-server.xml file from the <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat/ directory.
2. Set the compression parameter (under each of the connector configurations) to false as shown below:
  Code Block
  compression="off"
3. Restart the server.
