System Requirements

Rational System Architect XT Requirement

The Rational System Architect Process Integrator requires that Rational System Architect® XT™ 11.3.1.2 is installed on the network, which must be installed with the command line, as specified in the 'SA Process Integrator Installation Guide' (the installation guide is located in your installation package and in the Rational System Architect Information Center, at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rsdp/v1r0m0/index.jsp). However, a Rational System Architect Process Integrator (SA PI) session does not consume SA XT licenses. Instead, SA PI uses the SA XT technology as a bridge between Microsoft® Visio® and Rational System Architect encyclopedias.

Note the following information regarding SA XT and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS):

• If you are deploying Rational System Architect Process Integrator without SA XT clients, you do not need to configure IIS (an SA XT client is an SA XT session that consumes an SA XT Read or a Read/Write license to access encyclopedias). In this scenario, you need only install the SA XT software--you do not need to purchase a license or set up IIS to host an SA XT Website.
• If you are deploying Rational System Architect Process Integrator with SA XT clients, then you need to perform the standard SA XT installation, which configures IIS to host your SA XT Website (see the ‘Rational System Architect and Rational System Architect XT Installation Guide’ for more information). If you already have an installation of ‘SA XT 11.3.1.2’ available, you can use that same installation for SA PI.

Hardware Requirements

• Administrative privileges on the system (during the installation only).
• Pentium-class PC, 500 Mhz or higher, minimum of 256 MB of RAM, Super VGA monitor (with the screen resolution set to at least 800 x 600, small fonts setting).
• Disk space: 100MB during installation and 60 MB after the install are complete.
• Hard disk requirements vary depending on your configuration. Custom installation choices may require more or less hard disk space.
• The hard disk requirements for Microsoft Office Visio versions are as follows:
  
  
  • Visio Standard 2007 or Visio Standard 2007 with SP1 - requires 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of hard disk space.
    
  • Visio Professional 2007 or Visio Professional 2007 with SP1 - requires 1.5 GB of hard disk space.
    
  • Visio Standard 2003 or Visio Standard 2003 with SP1- requires 160 MB of hard disk space, including 75 MB on the hard disk where the operating system is installed. The optional installation files cache requires an additional 155 MB of available hard disk space.
    
  • Visio Professional 2003 or Visio Professional 2003 with SP1 - requires 210 MB of available hard disk space, including 75 MB on the hard disk where the operating system is installed. The optional installation files cache requires an additional 155 MB of available hard disk space.

Rational System Architect Process Integrator is supported on English locales. Specific tests are performed on the English versions of the Windows operating systems listed above.

Guidelines for Installing Rational System Architect Process Integrator

Requirements for Installing on Windows Vista SP1

If you install Rational System Architect Process Integrator on Windows Vista SP1, the following requirements for Microsoft Visio apply:

• Microsoft Visio 2003
  
  • User Account Control (UAC) should be ON before installing.
    
  • License information must be provided at Install time.
    
  • While using Rational System Architect Process Integrator, the UAC should be ON too.
    
• Microsoft Visio 2007
  
  • User Account Control (UAC) should be OFF before installing.
    
  • License information can be provided at Install time, or during first use of Rational System Architect Process Integrator.
    

The following sections contain guidelines for Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2003 and Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2007. Please follow the steps in the section that corresponds to the version of Rational System Architect Process Integrator that you want to install.

To install Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2003, proceed as follows:

1. Ensure your environment has Microsoft’s Office 2003 and Visio 2003.
2. Open the folder onto which you downloaded Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2003. The file name is SA_ProcessIntegerator_Visio2003_11.3.1.2.zip.
3. Extract the zip file to your folder of choice. The zip file you extract contains three executable files.
4. Click on the dotnetfx.exe file to install the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0. If an earlier version of the Framework is installed, the 2.0 installation will leave that version intact and will therefore not affect other programs that may be using that older version.
5. Click on the vstor.exe file. This installs the required 'Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime'.
6. Click the setup.exe file to install the Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2003.
7. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation. Note, when prompted for a license, you must enter a Node-lock license or License server location.

To install Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2007, proceed as follows:

1. Open the folder onto which you downloaded the Rational System Architect Process Integrator 2007 file. The file name is SA_ProcessIntegrator_Visio2007_11.3.1.2.exe.
2. Click on the SA_ProcessIntegrator_Visio2007_11.3.1.2.exe file.
3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation. Note, when prompted for a license, you must enter a Node-lock license or License server location.
