AS/400

Notes

  • It may be necessary to upgrade to the current version of LexiCom to run on the listed Operating Systems.
  • Although LexiCom may successfully install and run on other Unix versions not listed above, the behavior in these environments cannot be predicted. Therefore, Cleo cannot officially support other platforms than those listed.
  • If you wish to operate LexiCom on a platform outside this list, contact Cleo Sales for a consulting services quote.

Supported Virtual Environments

  • VMWare ESXi/ESX
  • Microsoft Hyper-V

Note: Must be running on Virtual aware hardware. The minimum recommended hardware (above) is a minimum requirement for each virtual environment running VersaLex. Under heavy load, Cleo has seen up to 25% less throughput in a virtual environment compared to a similarly configured native environment.

Java Runtime Environment

Support for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4 has been sunsetted with the release of VersaLex 4.1. Customers can continue to run with their current version of LexiCom/VLTrader/VLProxy and JRE 1.4 after this time, but will be required to upgrade to JRE 1.5 as part of any Cleo support request. Cleo bundles the JRE in its installer and product, so upgrading the VersaLex JRE will not affect other products installed on the same computer.

Other Requirements

  • On Windows, display properties must be set for more than 16 colors.
  • On Windows, LexiCom can be installed as a Windows service. However, by default, Windows services run under a local system account and do not see mapped network drives. If you must access a network drive through LexiCom, then you will have to use full network path names (UNC paths) instead of mapped network drives. Also, the network share permissions should be reviewed.
  • A physical Graphical User Interface (GUI) is required unless utilizing the optional Cleo Web-based GUI.
  • Java Requirements
  • Protocol-based Requirements
  • VLProxy System Requirements (Optional Add-on Feature)

Cleo Web-Based GUI Requirements (Optional Add-on Feature)

  • Internet Explorer version 7 or above and Firefox version 2 or above (latest versions are recommended)
  • Minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 is highly recommended.
  • On Unix, a third-party Xvfb (X virtual framebuffer) application may be required.
  • Note: Web-based GUI is not supported on AS/400.

LexiCom and Firewall/Proxy Server Compatibility

As a general guideline, LexiCom is compatible with Application Proxy Servers and Packet Filtering Firewalls with the following requirements: Firewall Requirements
