System requirements

Note: This topic is relevant for ALM Synchronizer for Agile Manager only. For details about the NextGen Synchronizer see NextGen Synchronizer, or search using the NextGen Synchronizer filter.

If you are still using ALM Synchronizer, we recommend migrating to the more robust NextGen Synchronizer embedded in Agile Manager's configuration area.

This topic describes system requirements for ALM Synchronizer installations, as well as supported versions of ALM.

Synchronizer server system configurations

Following are the minimum server system configurations for the Synchronizer server.

Note: In Windows 2003, the Synchronizer client cannot connect to the Synchronizer server if the Windows Firewall is switched on.

Workaround: Add HP-ALM-SyncService.exe manually to the Windows Firewall Exceptions list.

You must install the Synchronizer on a machine that does not already have a separate PostgreSQL installation.
