Abstract
This page provides detailed hardware and software requirements for DB2® Content Manager Enterprise Edition V8.3 Fix Pack 9.
DB2 Content Manager for z/OS® requirements are listed separately, see the Related information link at the bottom of this document.
Important:
Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with service updates to support products if those updates are forward compatible.
