Important system requirements
ReleaseEngine Cockpit
The ReleaseEngine Cockpit runs on Wildfly.
System requirements
The following operating systems are supported here:
Windows
- WIN10
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019
Linux
- CentOS from V7
- Oracle Linux from V7

- others on demand
Software requirements
The basic software for operation is:
Software | min. Version | max. Version |
---|---|---|
Wildfly | 13 | 18 |
DB: mariadb | 5.5 | 10.4 |
DB alternativ: mysql | 5.5 | 8.0 |
Java (Oracle, openJDK, Zulu, corretto, etc.) | JDK 8 | JDK 11 (on demand) |
Web-Browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) | optional |
Hardware requirements
We recommend that you adhere to the following minimum hardware requirements:
Hardware | min. | recommended |
---|---|---|
CPU | 1 | >=2 |
RAM | 4GB | >=8GB |
HDD | 30GB | Depending on use (Vault, etc.) |
Network interface card | 1 | 1 |
ReleaseEngine Daemons
The actual RE processing is done with daemons. The following requirements apply to these - depending on whether they access PTC Creo or not:
ReleaseEngine Daemons (without Creo)
Operating systems
Windows
- WIN10
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019
Linux
- CentOS from V7
- Oracle Linux from V7
- Debian from v8 (Jessie)
- others on demand
Hardware
Hardware | min. | recommended |
---|---|---|
CPU | 1 | >=2 |
RAM | 2GB | >=4GB |
HDD | 30GB | Depending on use (Vault, etc.) |
Network interface card | 1 | 1 |
Software
The basic software for the operation is:
Software | min. version | max. version |
---|---|---|
Java (Oracle, openJDK, Zulu, corretto, etc.) | JRE 11 | JRE 11 |
Release Engine Daemon (with Creo)
Operating systems
Windows
The operating systems required by PTC for the respective Creo version are supported:
See:
- Creo Future Platform Support Summary | PTC
- A Creo version must be used in conjunction with Windchill:
Overview of Creo Windchill Compatibility of Product Versions
Linux
Linux is not usable for Creo on the part of PTC.
Hardware
Hardware required as specified by PTC for the respective Creo version.
For the graphics card, it is possible to deviate from the recommendations on the part of PTC, since the requirements of the daemon with regard to shading/rendering etc. are lower.
See e.g. Creo 7.0 Hardware Notes | PTC
Software
Basic software for operation.
Software | min. version | max. version |
---|---|---|
Java (Oracle, openJDK, Zulu, corretto, etc.) | JRE 11 | JRE 11 |
Creo Installation (requires PTC License | Creo3 | Creo9 |
JLINK has to be installed during the Creo installation. JLINK is used by the Release Engine for the communication with Creo.
Example with Creo 7:
The file pfcasync.jar has to be available in the directory <Creo Dir>\Common Files\text\java after the installation.
Optionale Software (depending on the requirements)
Software | min. Version | max. Version | Vendor license required |
---|---|---|---|
SAP GUI | provided on request | ||
GraphicsMagick | 1.3.29 | 1.3.36 | |
Ghostscript | 9.10 | 9.53 | |
TiffStamper | ![]() | ||
MS Office | 2010 | 2016 | ![]() |
Open Office | provided on request | provided on request |
General hardware sizing
The sizing of the RE strongly depends on the scenario that is mapped with the RE. Influencing factors are, for example, the size of the files, the number of installed parts, the complexity of the components, etc.
For a detailed sizing, an exact knowledge of the respective scenario is important and thus requires preparatory project work.
INNOFACE is happy to support you in this preparatory project work and will be happy to assist you on request.
Daemons with access to SAP systems
If ReleaseEngine is used in interaction with SAP systems, the following prerequisites must be observed:
When using SAP ERP:
- SAP BASIS >= 6.40
When using SAP S/4 HANA (no premise or cloud):
- Version >= SAP S/4 1610
License requirements
- one CREO Parametric license for each instance of the ReleaseEngine (if the RE accesses CREO, e.g. to trigger a conversion).
- one Windchill Base license per instance of the ReleaseEngine (if the RE accesses Windchill).
