As ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 is a workstation application, consideration should be given to the type of workstation, operating systems, amount of disk space and real memory required, supported relational databases, and recommended software levels. These prerequisites are outlined below. Depending on the implementation, use of a license management tool, such as IBM License Use Management (LUM), may be required.

The supply of Dassault Systèmes support service for its software products is conditioned upon the third party vendor maintenance and support policy (including, but not limited to, the lifecycle policy) for the Dassault Systèmes software product prerequisite platform(s)* and/or configuration(s)**. In the event of any disruption, modification or discontinuation in the third party vendor maintenance and support lifecycle policy for the Dassault Systèmes software product prerequisite platform(s)* and/or configuration(s)**, Dassault Systèmes reserves the right, at its own discretion:
In any and all cases, Dassault Systèmes has no obligation and no responsibility to provide maintenance and support service on third party platforms* and/or configurations**. The customer remains solely responsible for the choice, deployment and use of any third party platforms* and/or configurations**.
Definitions: * Platform: a hardware architecture or a software framework enabling Dassault Systèmes products to run. Platforms can include one or more of the following components:
** Configuration: a defined set of components with specified versions or version ranges of such components enabling the Dassault Systèmes products to run. This set of components depends on the architecture (client, server...). |

Required Processor Components and Features |
Installation of ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 for IBM RS/6000 requires an internal or external CD-ROM drive. This drive requires a SCSI High-Performance Input/Output (I/O) Controller, which is either standard or an optional feature (depending on the RS/6000 model). A CD-ROM drive is required to view the on-line documentation in HTML format. Product documentation explains installation on other network-connected RS/6000 machines after the initial installation with the drive.
The following DASD requirements are approximate:

Optional Components and Features |
Locally-attached plotters:
ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 directly supports locally attached IBM color pen plotters and can be used with other OEM plotters. (Refer to the Software Requirements for AIX section for more details).
Note: Customers should contact the appropriate plotter vendor for plotter connection and technical support.

A relational database is required for proper operation of ENOVIAVPM V1.6.
A
minimum of 700 MB of hard disk space is necessary for system installation. 150
MB should be available for database application and data files. Refer to the
Software Requirements section for supported database products.
Compatibility
ENOVIAVPM provides a consistent user, database, and application programming
interface. Data is compatible among the supported operating systems: AIX, HP-UX,
and Solaris, and ENOVIAVPM is able to use and exchange data in industry-standard
formats including STEP AP203 and AP214.
Performance Considerations
Performance and response time are influenced by several factors including
processor and operating system, amount of system memory, channel speeds, the
number, type, and organization of terminals, and the size of the data elements
being used. ENOVIAVPM is designed for optimum benefit under all supported
operating systems.
The overall requirements for ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 are identical to those described in the announcement letter for ENOVIAVPM Release 1, refer to Software Announcement 298-246, (RFA30344) dated July 7, 1998. CATIA and DELMIA plug-ins are supplied with the products and require no additional prerequisites. However, for CATIA Version 4, CDA and CDR must be separately installed. If ENOVIAVPM is used to manage CATIA Version 5 data only, there is no requirement to install CATIA Version 4.
CATIA Version 5 Release 17 is the minimum requested level for ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 interoperability.
DELMIA Version 5 Release 17 is the minimum requested level for ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 interoperability.
CATIA Version 4 Release 2.5 is the minimum requested level for ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 interoperability.
