Prerequisites

Modified in 8.5.2

To work with Genesys Mobile Services (GMS), you must ensure that your system meets the software requirements established in the Genesys Supported Operating Environment Reference Manual, as well as meeting the following minimum requirements:

Hardware Requirements

The following are minimum requirements:

• CPU: Quad core
• Memory: 4GB
• Disk: 160GB
• At least 2-3 nodes recommended for redundancy and availability

OS Requirements

• Genesys Supported Operating Environment Reference Guide

Important

For Linux installations, the Linux compatibility packages must be installed prior to installing the Genesys IPs.

Browser Support

• Supported Operating Environment Reference Guide

Antivirus

Antivirus software can affect system performance and call response time in some scenarios. Genesys recommends keeping antivirus software enabled on hosts where Genesys Mobile Services is running and analyzing the performance of all applications on a particular host. If some applications are more vulnerable than GMS, consider moving them to a different host.

If GMS seems to be related to significant overhead, Genesys does not recommend excluding GMS from the antivirus scanning. Instead, consider disabling the scanning of the following folders:

• The folder in which GMS is running.
• Any folder containing log files.

Important

The antivirus software must not restrict any ports that Genesys applications are using.

Java Requirements

Java 64 bits

• Before 8.5.206.04: Support for JDK 8 only
• Starting in 8.5.206.04: Support for Open JDK 8
• Starting in 8.5.208.09: Support for Open JDK 11 and for Oracle JDK 11

Tip

Edit JAVA_HOME to point to the JDK installation folder, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\<your JDK>. In some scenarios, the GMS installer may fail to find Open JDK 1.x. The workaround is to install Oracle JDK first, proceed with the installation, then once GMS is installed, point the JAVA_HOME variable to OpenJDK.

Cassandra Support on Linux

Modified in: 8.5.203.02

GMS now supports Datastax Driver version 3.3.x

• Cassandra 3.x: Tested version is 3.11.0

Tip

Cassandra is not required if you deploy Genesys Mobile Environment for Chat API V2, Email API V2, and Open Media API V2.
