system meets all hardware requirements and the required levels of software.

2.1.1 iSeries hardware requirements

for Web. The Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) column shows the processor capacity

for the specified model.

Table 2-1 Minimum server models

Table 2-2 contains the minimum recommended amount of main storage for an iSeries server

on which iSeries Access for Web is installed.

Table 2-2 Minimum main storage

Table 2-3 shows the amount of disk space that is required to install the iSeries Access for

2.1.2 Software requirements

iSeries Access for Web V5R2 may be installed on iSeries servers running OS/400 V5R1 and

later releases.

iSeries Access for Web requires a iSeries Access Family license to connect to the iSeries

server. The license is obtained from the iSeries Access Family licensing component

(5722-XW1, option 1) and expires after five minutes of inactivity. Any session remaining idle

for more than five minutes releases its license. Subsequent requests from the browser

associated with the session initiates another license request. Each browser window that is

opened by a user acquires another iSeries Access license. This is indicated to the user by

displaying a logon dialog box for each license that is acquired.
