Software requirements

The software requirements for running UIE/VM are as follows:

  • CMS version 5 or later
  • LE version 1.8 or later
Warning

Important

The version of LE distributed with z/VM V4R2 or later is sufficient.

If you intend to use UIE/VM to generate XML models and push them to a PC, you must first install the BMC Performance Predictor for Mainframes component on the receiving PC.

If you intend to use UIE/VM to generate Visualizer files, you must install and use Visualizer to load those files and view the associated reports and graphs.

Memory and disk space requirements

UIE/VM requires:

  • 256 MB of memory
  • 450 tracks, or 4000 blocks, of 3390 disk space to install the product

Additional space is required to hold work files and output files. The space requirements depend on the volume of data processed. Initially, BMC recommends that you allocate 100 cylinders for this purpose and then adjust the amount according to your specific needs.
