Table 2–2 lists minimum requirements for running OpenEdge applications.

Table 2–2: Requirements for running OpenEdge applications  

Component	Requirement
Terminal	A character terminal attached to a host computer. Note: OpenEdge does not support spacetaking terminals unless the terminal has a firmware setup option to change it to nonspacetaking mode.
Libraries	Networking libraries must be installed on your machine. Multi-user OpenEdge configurations connect UNIX-to-UNIX through the OpenEdge-supported network protocol TCP/IP. You can also connect to a UNIX server from a Windows client through TCP/IP.
JDK	Installed JDK components. See Table 2–1 for the current version releases.

Product and application dependencies

Additional requirements might exist, depending on the applications you plan to run and/or the OpenEdge products you plan to install. For example, you might need any or all of the following elements:

Web server — To run WebSpeed. The Web server types supported include Microsoft IIS Web server or ISAPI-compatible, Sun Web server or NSAPI-compatible, or CGI-compatible.
Java servlet engine — To run Web Services.
JRE/JVM — To run Java applications.

File descripters

You must allocate sufficient file descripters to handle all the WebSpeed Agents your configuration uses. Set the file descriptors to 1024 by entering the following command:

ulimit -n 1024
