In turn, the Rochade Server provides the connected Rochade components with access to the data in the repository. • APIs — ® ASG-Rochade Java API (herein called Java API/SRAP) Java API is an object-oriented application programming interface (API) available on all operating systems that support Java. — ® ASG-Rochade Information Retrieval (herein called Info Retrieval) Info Retrieval searches and retrieves metadata from Rochade. The API also can use Apache Solr to search an index of Rochade metadata. — ® ASG-Rochade JDBC-ODBC Driver (herein called JDBC-ODBC Driver) JDBC-ODBC Driver is a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)/Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver for accessing Rochade. • GUIs and applications Rochade applications provide predefined functionality for displaying, editing, and reporting of the metadata in the repository, as well as specialized functionality for different use cases. There are these types of applications: — — — 2 Desktop applications ™ — ASG-Metability (herein called Metability) — ASG-Metability Scanner Configuration (herein called ScannerConfig) — ASG-MyInfoAssist (herein called MyInfoAssist) — ASG-Rochade Metadata Process Monitor (herein called Process Monitor) ™ ® ® Web applications ™ — ASG-Global Search (herein called Global Search) — ASG-metaGlossary (herein called metaGlossary) — ASG-metaRDM Reference Data Management (herein called metaRDM) — ASG-Rochade Browser (herein called Rochade Browser) — ASG-Rochade Web Data Dictionary (herein called WebDDIC) — ASG-Rochade WebAccess (herein called WebAccess) ™ ™ ® ® ® Custom applications ASG-Rochade Ecosystem • Repository population and federation Rochade provides a variety of products that support data exchange and populating the repository as well as tools for configuring the products and monitoring the population processes: ® — ASG-Rochade CAE Federation (herein called CAE Federation) — ASG-Rochade Content Interface Toolkit (herein called Content Interface Toolkit) — ASG-Rochade XML Facilities (herein called XML Facilities) — Scanners and busses ® ® Supported Environments ASG provides information about system recommendations and supported environments for all Rochade components in its Intelligent Support Portal (ISP). For information on the latest available component versions for your operating system, see the Rochade Supported Environments entry in the Rochade Product Specifications. System and Runtime Requirements Rochade Server ASG recommends these system resources for Rochade Server: Rochade Server System Resources Linux, UNIX, and Windows • RAM: At least 16 GB. • Processors: One or more CPUs that, together, support multiple concurrent threads at a clock rate of 2 GHz. Rochade Server can utilize up to 43 processor cores. • Disk capacity: 250 GB, including standard databases without user data. z/OS • Region size: 512 MB. • Disk capacity: 250 GB, including standard databases without user data. NOTE: For z/OS, ASG provides only 32-bit modules of Rochade Server. For all other supported operating systems, only 64-bit modules are provided. 3 ASG-Rochade Ecosystem General Disk Properties Rochade’s performance depends greatly on the data transfer rates of the storage system you are using. Regardless of whether you are storing the Rochade databases on a local hard disk, a disk array, or a storage area network (SAN), employing a disk controller with a large cache (> 1 GB) can significantly improve performance. ASG recommends that you only use disk controllers that have been designed for use in data-critical transactional database systems. In particular, the disk controller must guarantee that storage processes can be treated as complete as soon as the data have reached the controller’s cache. The cache, therefore, must be protected against data loss during power outages (e.g., by a backup battery). The controller can then continue to write the cached data to the connected hard disks once the power has been restored. The onboard caches of disk drives usually are not protected by a backup battery. These caches, therefore, cannot guarantee to protect cached data during power outages. ASG, therefore, recommends that you configure your storage system to disable the on-disk cache and use the disk controller’s battery-backed cache instead.
