on Linux Server on Linux
This document describes the minimum configuration requirements when
installing a SAFE X3 additional process server on a Linux server.
Category Configuration requirements
Operating Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server x64 release 8 or Red Hat
system Enterprise Linux Server x64 release 9.
Oracle Enterprise Linux release 8 or release 9.
Check the list of prerequisites for Red Hat and Oracle here.
Server
Industry-standard server or virtual machine in a certified
virtualization platform/operating system configuration
Processors:
Intel® CPUs:
Minimal models: Intel® Xeon® E5 v4, E7 v4
Recommended: Latest (third generation) or
previous generation (second and first) Intel®
Xeon® Scalable Processors, Gold or Platinum
variants
AMD™ CPUs:
Opteron™ family is very slow on integer
computation and should not be used at all.
EPYC™ gen.1 (7001 series) are behind
equivalent Intel® Xeon® CPUs of the same
generation. Their use is discouraged.
EPYC™ gen.2 (7002 series) can be used. Its
performance is similar to equivalent Intel® Xeon®
Scalable processors.
Processor clock frequency:
Avoid low energy processors with low clock
frequency. This will give poor results.
The base clock frequency should be ≥ 2.4 GHz.
For heavy single-threaded loads, consider using
a processor with a 2.8 GHz or higher base clock
speed.

Standard needs for the Sage X3 runtime (no database,
and no Syracuse in the same VM), with 2.4 GHz Intel®
Xeon®:
2 logical cores for the first 40 Sage X3 sessions.
1 additional logical core for each additional 40 Sage
X3 sessions.
Add at least two logical cores for Oracle RDBMS if it is on
the same host as Sage X3 application or runtime
components.
RAM Minimum configuration:
2 GB for Windows Operating System.
Generally, the RAM usage per X3 session is under 100 MB,
but it can be higher in the case of non-standard settings
of maxmem.
Disk space
SAFE X3 process server uses less than 200 MB at
installation time.
Some extra space will be needed for temporary files
during operation.
It is recommended to have at least 2 GB of free space on
the NTFS volume where the Sage X3 process server is
installed.
Software
If you want to perform the Sage X3 components
prerequisites
installation in graphical mode on Linux, make sure you
for Sage X3
have installed the minimal set of X11 components.
components
To check if X11 components are operational, install the
xclock X11 application (yum install xclock) and try to
use it.
Otherwise, you can launch the Sage X3 components
EZpack installer in character mode by adding the -
console option.
Ksh (Korn Shell) should be present on application and
runtime servers, as it is used for some scripts during
installation and later operations.
Perform a yum install ksh before configuring the Sage
X3 solution with the console.
SELINUX should be set to Permissive on the application
and runtime servers.
Pay attention to firewall settings on Sage X3 servers.

A JDK or Java Runtime Environment (version 8) must be
installed before any Sage X3 component installation.
You can use the OpenJDK packages from Red Hat or
Oracle Linux standard distribution
medium/repositories.
Use yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.
The SAFE X3 Adxadmin administration engine component
must be installed before installing Sage X3 application
and runtime components.
The latest SAFE X3 management console should be used
to configure the Sage X3 solution. Use at least the version
provided in the ISO of the installed release.
