Problem:

What is the minimum hardware specification for our UNIX products?

Resolution:

The minimum required disk space to install the COBOL product is approximately

Object COBOL:

Development System: 40Mb

Application Server: 20Mb

Server Express:

Development System: 50Mb without ODBC, 80Mb-100Mb with ODBC drivers

Application Server: 40Mb

There is no required minimum for physical memory, any system capable of running the UNIX operating system provides the minimum required memory for the COBOL product to execute.

The minimum required memory for user applications really depends on the size of those applications and how they are used. It takes more memory to edit a 20,000 line program than it does to edit a 1,000 line program, for example. Applications that use INT and GNT code will take more memory than those using callable shared objects or executables because INT and GNT code is not shared between users. Large FD's and working-storage tables will also count towards the total memory requirement
