Prior to installing any WSO2 Carbon based product, it is necessary to have the appropriate prerequisite software installed on your system. Verify that the computer has the supported operating system and development platforms before starting the installation.

System requirements

Memory

  • ~ 2 GB minimum
  • ~ 512 MB heap size. This is generally sufficient to process typical SOAP messages, but the requirements vary with larger message sizes and the number of messages processed concurrently.

Disk

  • ~ 1 GB minimum (excluding space allocated for log files and databases.)

Environment compatibility

Operating Systems / Databases

  • All WSO2 Carbon-based products are Java applications that can be run
on
  • on any platform that is Oracle JDK 1.6.*/1.7.* or OpenJDK compliant. JDK 1.8 is not supported yet. 

  • It is not recommended to run WSO2 BAM on Windows since Hadoop is not optimized for Windows.

  • All WSO2 products are generally compatible with most common DBMSs. For more information, see Working with Databases.

info

For BAM Hive metadata storage, Oracle is not supported and it is recommended to use MySQL or H2, since BAM is successfully tested on the compatibility with those. Also H2 is not recommended for a production setup.

  • It is not recommended to use Apache DS in a production environment due to issues with scalability. Instead, it is recommended to use an LDAP like OpenLDAP for user management.

  • For environments that WSO2 products are tested with, see
