Pega 7 Platform Support Guide November 10, 2014 Confidential

Policy Statement Pega 7 is designed as an open system which complies with industry standards. It is implemented in Java, using standard facilities to ensure compatibility and operability with similarly compliant 3rd party components such as Server Operating Systems, Databases, Applications Servers, Client Operating Systems, Browsers and integration service components. Our expectation is that Pega 7 can be deployed successfully in tandem with any combination of environmental and infrastructure components including hybrid heterogeneous combinations of dissimilar servers. It is also our expectation, gained from experience, that with such deployments the devil is in the details, and that the first such deployment should only be undertaken by experienced engineers who have the necessary skills to ensure smooth and complete installation and reliable and performant operation. In addition: 1. Customers should contact their Pegasystems representative to discuss their platform
selection and their installation plan before beginning the installation.
2. Pega 7 and applications built on it are designed to run on any combination within each category of the published Platform Components in the Platform Options section, including a mixed deployment of different application server or browser technology. Consult your Pegasystems representative to determine whether the desired platform combination has been deployed in production before, and to discuss risk mitigation strategies.
3. To obtain new features and capabilities, customers may be required to upgrade to newer
versions of Pega 7 products, which may have different or additional prerequisites. Note also that updated versions of Platform Components (including bug fix releases of such Components) may themselves impose different or additional prerequisites.
4. Pegasystems will make commercially reasonable efforts to offer support in its products for a
new release or version of the Platform Components listed in this document, within 12 months of that version becoming Generally Available (as differentiated from an alpha or beta version of the product). This support will normally be made available in a new release.
5. Pega 7 and older Platform Components: Providers of Platform Components may choose
to end support for older versions of their products. A problem may occur with a Platform Component listed in this guide, where this Component is no longer supported by the Provider. If the problem is determined to be related to that Component, it may be necessary to upgrade that component to a version supported by the provider in order for Pega to be able to support that system.
6. Pega 7 and newer Platform Components: It is Pegasystems policy not to backwards-test new versions of Platform Components with older releases of Pega 7. Support for new platform products is provided through newer versions of Pega 7 software.
If you choose to upgrade Platform Components to the latest releases, but want to stay on older releases of Pega 7, you may enter support requests for any problems encountered. However, if the root cause of these problems stems from the fact that the older versions of PRPC were not designed to handle functionality in the newer Components, Pegasystems may

request that you upgrade your PRPC version to a release that directly supports that newer Component, as listed in this Guide.
Pegasystems Inc. Statement of Support for Virtualised Environments such as VMWare, OpenStack, PureAPP, Citrix and others
Pegasystems Inc. will support customers who run Pegasystems Inc. products on supported Operating Systems, irrespective of whether they are running in virtualized environments or not. Virtualization vendor products support a set of certified Operating Systems and Hardware, and the customer and vendor will be responsible for any interactions or issues that arise at the Hardware or Operating System layer as a result of their use of such products. Pegasystems Inc. will not require clients to recreate and troubleshoot every issue in a non-virtualized environment; however, Pegasystems Inc. does reserve the right to request our customers to diagnose certain issues in a native certified Operating System environment, operating without the virtual environment. Pegasystems Inc. will only make this request when there is reason to believe that the virtual environment is a contributing factor to the issue. Any time spent on investigation of problems that may, in the sole opinion of Pegasystems Inc. be related to a virtualization product, will be handled in the following fashion: 1. Pegasystems Inc. will provide standard support to all Pegasystems Inc. products. 2. If a problem is encountered while a Pegasystems Inc. product is running in a virtualized environment, the client may be asked to recreate the problem on a non-virtualized server unit to assist with diagnostics and remediation. 3. Regardless of the problem type or source, time spent on investigation and resolution will be covered as part of regular maintenance, and support will be provided as usual.

JDBC Drivers
Important Notes for JDBC drivers:
For better performance, ensure that you are using JDBC 4-compliant drivers.
For better performance with a Tomcat webserver, use Tomcat 7. Tomcat 6 has a
limitation that will cause the server to treat the JDBC driver as if it were a JDBC 3-compliant driver, even if the system is using a JDBC 4-compliant driver. Customers using Tomcat will see better performance if they upgrade to Tomcat 7, and make sure to use a JDBC 4 compliant driver.
The engine will not start up if the incorrect JDBC driver is used. The following
configurations are unsupported: o Using a Multi-tenant Oracle system using one of the Oracle JDBC drivers with
issues (see chart above) o Using a Multi-tenant system with a JDBC 3 compliant driver, OR with Tomcat 6
(see above Tomcat note) o Using Microsoft SQL Server with a JDBC 3 compliant driver, OR with Tomcat 6 (see
above Tomcat note)
When any of these unsupported configurations are encountered, Pega 7 will not start. Before this change, the engine would appear to start up properly, but would encounter issues during other parts of the engine startup or during actual use of the system.
Database Java 6 Java 7 Notes
Oracle ojdbc6.jar ojdbc7.jar
Two Oracle driver versions have a bug which causes updates to fail in Pega 7. Do not use these versions:
11.1.0.6.0
11.1.0.7.0
MSQL sqljdbc4.jar sqljdbc4.jar Do not use v 3.0.1301.101, as this causes problems with Pega 7 internal system date values.
DB2 LUW db2jcc4.jar db2jcc4.jar
DB2 z/OS db2jcc4.jar db2jcc4.jar
For DB2 for z/OS, JDBC drivers are only available from the DB2 for z/OS product. Additionally, you need db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar in the same directory as db2jcc4.jar.

Notes on Java Virtual Machines (JVMs): PegaRULES Process Commander requires Java to be installed on the application server.
Process Commander recommends 64-bit JVMs on the platforms your application server supports. Please refer to the support matrix of your application server and the platform products for details on which combinations support 64-bit JVMs.
When installing Pega 7 on a server with a 64-bit operating system, be sure to install the
64-bit JVM.
Pega 7 requires the use of the Java 6 or Java 7 specification. Each of the Java vendors will routinely issue maintenance that addresses security, performance, and stability issues in the JDK. Pegasystems recommends that this maintenance be applied on a periodic basis; customers JDKs should never be more than a year behind current JDK maintenance levels.
Pegasystems recommends that your verbose GC options be enabled, even in production
(this adds negligible overhead).
Oracle stopped providing public updates to Java 6 in February 2013. Therefore, beginning in Pega Version 7.1.7, Java 6 will only be supported with WebSphere.
For WebSphere, use the latest approved JVM provided by IBM for that version and patch
level of the application server (unless it is specifically stated that it does not run with Pega 7, like Java 8). Be sure to check the JVM Known Issues section on the next page to avoid issues with certain JVM versions.
Pega 7 Platform Support Guide November 10, 2014 Confidential
10
For WebLogic, Pega has tested both Hotspot (Sun/Oracle) JVM and JRockit; either may be used.
Neither Tomcat nor JBoss bundles a JVM in its application. For the supported versions of
these products, Oracle or IBM Java 7 are recommended, at the Java vendors latest patch level (unless it is specifically stated that it does not run with Pega 7).
As of Version 6.1, Process Commander will no longer support Java 1.4.2. This specifically
impacts users of WebSphere 6.0.2, which depends upon Java 1.4.2; WebSphere 6.0.2 is no longer supported.
As of Version 7.1.0, Pega 7 will no longer support Java 5. This specifically impacts users
of WebSphere 6.1, which depends upon Java 5; WebSphere 6.1 is no longer supported.
The amount of additional memory required for DSM services (what is required in addition to the recommendations for Pega 7, found in the Install Guides) will depend upon your applications use of ADM and VBD. Contact Pega Support for specialized sizing recommendations.
Known Issues with JVMs:
1. Process Commander supports the 64-bit Sun Java 6 JVM at update 10 or later. Earlier versions of the Sun Java 6 JVM will not function correctly due to a Java 6 bug.
2. Oracle reported a bug with Java 6 (Hotspot) Update 29: it does not work with Microsoft
SQL database drivers: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7105007 This bug prevents Pega 7 from starting (the system just hangs). When using Java 6, be sure to use Update 28 or earlier, or Update 30 or later.
The following are issues with WebSphere and the IBM Java versions. To avoid these issues, new installs of Pega 7 should use the following WebSphere Fixpack versions (or later) available from IBM:
WebSphere Version
Fixpack Version or later
SDK Version
6.1 N/A (JAVA5) 7.0 7.0.0.25* SDK 1.6 SR11 8.0 8.0.0.2 SDK 1.6.1 SR1 8.5.5** 8.5.5.2 SDK 1.6.0 SR7 FP1
SDK 1.7.0 SR6 FP1
*ML7 will require WAS 7 fix pack 25 and above. Due to a bug in older versions of WebSphere, the introduction of Elastic Search causes WAS 7 to fail on startup: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IZ67813 **The version of Java 1.7 shipped with WebSphere 8.5.5.1 reports a Java Verify error when loading classes for assembled rules. This appears to be related to an `https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=381172
Pega 7 Platform Support Guide November 10, 2014 Confidential

The VerifyError does not appear to occur with the Java 1.7 SR6 release. See also: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=7f616d94-a4ec-4e32-9ccc-3406ee063a6f
3. IBM reported a bug with IBM Java 6 and 7: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV06580 This issue manifests as
corrupted records in the Pega 7 database, caused by a bug in the JVM used by WebSphere; this bug was observed when the JVM is under a load heavy enough to invoke the just-in-time (JIT) compiler feature.
Existing Pega 7 systems running earlier versions of WebSphere can avoid the risk by turning on a JIT switch for Idiom Recognition. The JVM argument is: -Xjit:disableIdiomRecognition
4. In Java 7, Oracle changed the modified mergesort in java.util.Arrays.sort with timsort: http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6804124 A full description of this change can be found here: http://dertompson.com/2012/11/23/sort-algorithm-changes-in-java-7/ In Version 6.x PRPC systems, this now causes Obj-Sort to fail with a Java error: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates its general contract! To avoid this error, set the following Java System property when using Java 7 with PRPC 6.x: -Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true

Important Browser Notes 1. Pega 7 is certified on the latest version of these supported browsers at the time a given version
of Pega 7 is released. Reasonable efforts are made to test previous versions of the browsers, with particular attention paid to Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11. If you have an issue with Pega 7 guardrail-compliant UI in a particular version of a supported browser type, please contact Pega Support, and we will make commercially-reasonable efforts to resolve the issue.
2. Adobe Flash and ActiveX controls do not work in a 64-bit Internet Explorer browser
(IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11 64-bit). This meant that prior versions of Pega 7 could not use these 64-bit IE versions.
For full details, please reference the following article on the PDN: Issue: Adobe Flash and ActiveX controls do not work in 64-bit Internet Explorer browser.
3. IE8 continues to work with v7.1 with the caveat that IE8 is known to cause client-side performance issues when operating in Standards Mode. Some screens, especially grids and lists which display large amounts of data, may experience sub-optimal performance with IE8. We strongly recommend using another browser which does not have these performance issues, such as IE9, IE10, IE11, Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. Microsoft is no longer updating IE8, and instead points customers to IE10 or IE11. Therefore, Pegasystems cannot address these client-side performance issues reported with IE8. Customers should consider carefully before using IE8 as the target browser with v7.1.

In Pega 7 versions prior to 7.1, the Developer Desktop was limited to Internet Explorer browsers due to its dependence on IE functionality. IE is only supported by Windows. In Version 7.1, a few of the developer features continue to rely on IE functionality. The majority of development tasks can be accomplished using Mac OSX. If a feature requires IE, a message stating that requirement will display.

PRPC is certified on the latest version of these supported browsers at the time a given version of PRPC is released. Reasonable efforts are made to test previous versions of the browsers, with particular attention paid to Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9. If you have an issue with PRPC guardrail-compliant UI in a particular version of a supported browser type, please contact Pega Support, and we will make commercially-reasonable efforts to resolve the issue.
As stated above, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are supported as end-user browsers. Some Pega 6 functionality has dependencies on
Flash and ActiveX controls, however, which are not supported by non-IE browsers; an occasional issue may be encountered. Customers who are concerned about these issues should avoid using the non-IE browsers.
