9.1 Single-node runtime overview

The following sections describe the software and hardware we used for installing WebSphere Commerce V5.6.

9.1.1 Hardware

Ensure that your hardware meets the requirements described in 3.2.2, “Hardware and software prerequisites” on page 41.

We installed WebSphere Commerce V5.6 on a system with the following configuration:

Intel Pentium 4 1.8 GHz

1.5GB RAM

40GB hard drive

1024x768 Screen resolution CD-ROM drive

The time it took us to install and configure WebSphere Commerce V5.6 on this hardware is summarized in Table 9-1.

Table 9-1 Time used to install WebSphere Commerce V5.6 in our environment

Installation step	Time used (minutes)

WebSphere Commerce V5.6	80

DB2 Universal Database V8.1 fixpack 5	30

WebSphere Commerce instance creation	60

WebSphere Commerce Payments instance creation	30

9.1.2 Software

Ensure that your software meets the requirements described in 3.2.2, “Hardware and software prerequisites” on page 41.

Furthermore, you must read and follow the instructions regarding the preparation of the system and the DB2 Universal Database V8.1 user ID in WebSphere Commerce V5.6 Installation Guide for Windows.

Specifically, you must ensure that the user ID used while installing WebSphere Commerce V5.6 fulfills the following requirements:
