The following sections list the various configurations supported by SpringSource tc Server:
SpringSource tc Server supports the following Java EE specifications:
The following table lists the supported JVM versions for the three components of tc Server.
| tc Server Component | Supported JVM Version(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| tc Server Application Server | 1.5, 1.6 | Although the AMS agent and server are supported on Java 1.5 only, this does not preclude tc Server itself from running on Java 1.6. An AMS agent or server running on Java 1.5 is fully capable of managing a tc Server running on Java 1.6. |
| AMS Agent | 1.5 | AMS agents, by default, use a bundled Java 1.5 JVM. You can choose to run an AMS agent using a different JVM by setting the HQ_JAVA_HOME environment variable. |
| AMS Server | 1.5 | AMS servers, by default, use a bundled Java 1.5 JVM. You can choose to run an AMS server using a different JVM by setting the HQ_JAVA_HOME environment variable. |
The following table lists the supported configurations for running the application component of tc Server.
NOTE: Because you typically also install the AMS agent on the same computer as the tc Server itself, you should also consult Supported Configurations: AMS Agent.
SpringSource recommends that you follow the guidance of your operating system or JVM vendor when deciding which patch levels should be applied to your computer. In general, the latest patch update levels are recommended.

Note (AIX): In versions 6.0.20.B and 6.0.20.C of tc Server, only the application server component is supported on the AIX platform; there is no managed-node bundle available for this platform. If you need to install or upgrade the application server on AIX, use the platform-independent bundle (called tcServer-6.0.20.C-GA-appserver.tgz.)
Note (zLinux): In version 6.0.20.C of tc Server, only the application server component is supported on the zLinux platform. There is no managed-node bundle available for this platform. If you need to install or upgrade the application server component on zLinux, use the platform-independent bundle (called tcServer-6.0.20.C-GA-appserver.tgz.)
The following table lists the supported configurations for running the AMS agent.
NOTE: Because you typically also install the AMS agent on the same computer as the tc Server itself, you should also consult Supported Configurations: tc Server (Application Server Component).

| Solaris | 10 |
|
Sun Hotspot 1.5 NOTE: The AMS agent on Solaris (Intel) does not bundle its own JRE; all agents on other platforms do. This means that on Solaris (Intel), you must set the HQ_JAVA_HOME variable to point to the location of an installed JRE before you start the AMS agent. |
6.0.19.A, 6.0.20.A, 6.0.20.C |
| Linux on System z (zLinux) | 2.6 | zSeries s390x 64 bit | IBM JVM 1.5 NOTE: As with AMS agents on all other supported configurations, the AMS agent on zLinux bundles the Sun Hotspot JRE 1.5. The bundled HotSpot JRE, however, does not work correctly with the AMS agent on zLinux. This means that you must set the HQ_JAVA_HOME variable to point to the location of an installed IBM JRE/JVM 1.5 (64-bit) before you start the AMS agent. |
