System requirements

All components of BMC Helix Data Manager are fully supported on physical or virtual machines. Following are the minimum system requirements for each component:

• BMC Helix Data Manager Workbench
  • Deployed as a standard web application in an embedded Tomcat instance
  • Requires JDK 8 and supports OpenJDK 17
  • Requires Apache Tomcat server with 4GB of RAM (The Workbench is not CPU intensive.)
  • Requires 64 MB of free disk space
• BMC Helix Data Manager Repository
  • Although a typical installation dedicated for the BMC Helix Data Manager Repository will rarely exceed 256 MB memory usage, allocate at least 2 GB of disk space to allow for future growth of the BMC Helix Data Manager Repository database.
• BMC Helix Data Manager Engine
  • Runs with a maximum RAM allocation of 2GB
  • Requires JDK 8 or higher
  • Requires a minimum of 50 MB of free disk space (However, we recommend that at least 2GB of disk space is dedicated to allow for temporary, metadata, and log files.)
  • Requires a locally accessible file system to hold export files (Make sure that at least one volume has sufficient space to hold the export data files.)
