The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter discusses the system requirements, user requirements, installation prerequisites and the supported databases for the various components of Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler (TES) version 6.2.0.
The following table contains the minimum system requirements for installing and running TES. The specified quantities of CPU, memory and disk space must be available for exclusive use by TES. Use additional RAM and disk space as necessary for your particular environment.
Warning It is recommended that no more than five agents be run on the minimum hardware platform. However, the number of agents that can be run on a given server depends upon the CPU and memory resources available on the machine. Add a single agent at a time and gauge the effect of each added agent on system performance before adding more. You have to experiment with the configuration to achieve optimal results.
Note Although the minimum memory required is 4GB for PCs running the Web Client, additional memory helps with better performance. At least 2GB of free memory must be available for the browser.
Note When installing a 64-bit master for use with an Oracle database, the installer requires that 32-bit oracle client software in order to connect to the Oracle database. After installing, the master does not require the 32-bit client software to run.

The security requirements for TES vary according to the task the user account needs to accomplish. The user account that installs the components of TES requires different security rights than an account that runs TES as a service. The user account that will operate TES has its own security needs. The following points and Table 2-2 illustrate security rights differences between the various TES components.
Table 2-2 Rights Required for Installation and Usage of Scheduler Components.
Before installing TES you should already have database software installed on your machine.
The Master supports the following databases:
Note TES does not support case-sensitive sort-ordered databases.
Microsoft SQL Server users should verify the following items before installing TES:
If you are installing a TES master, SQL Server must already be installed, either on the same machine where you are installing the master, or on another machine in the same domain.
The master uses only JDBC to connect to any Oracle related database. TES requires that the OLE providers for the Oracle 10g, 11i database be installed on each TES machine. These OLE providers are normally installed only during a full Oracle client install. Have your Oracle administrator install these drivers on each machine that will run TES. The drivers are called “Oracle Provider for OLE DB” and are selected in the Oracle Windows Interfaces section of a custom install.
If you are performing a master installation, your database administrator will also need to know the Oracle tablespace datafiles to be used with TES. The following three Oracle tablespace datafiles are created by TES during installation and require at least the stated amount of tablespace:
The tnsnames.ora file must exist on or be available to the TES master machine. This file is typically found in the Oracle home directory. The tnsnames.ora file should be local since network access may not always be available to the master service, and it must be available to the TES master. Verify that the Oracle bin folder is in your system path before installing TES.
Because TES utilizes the Oracle Native drivers for connectivity, the Oracle SQL*Net client needs to be installed and configured on all Windows masters. To verify that the ORACLE client connection is correctly configured, from the DOS prompt, use the tnsping to the database tns entry.
