                      =================================

OS Information : Built on Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2, Certified on Windows Server 2008 x64,
                 Windows 7 x64.

Machine Specific Notes
======================

1.  This product supports the following compiler:

        Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM 

    This product is built on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 
    x64 Edition with Service Pack 2 using the following compiler
    from Microsoft Visual Studio 2008:

        Microsoft Visual C++ 2008

2.  Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)

    PAM functionality is supported. Use of PAM can be enabled or disabled by 
    the system administrator. By default, GBase 8t Database Server will use 
    the traditional authentication mechanism in order to avoid widespread 
    changes required by the users.

3.  IPv6 Support 
  
    IDS supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
    as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).

    In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS registry to resolve 
    to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System 
    should be correctly configured.

    For compatibility with older GBase 8t client and server products, 
    assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address. 
    If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services 
    resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
    then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in nodename field of server 
    registry. Client applications should also use the same setting.

4.  Connectivity on Windows Vista

    To enable connections between database servers on the Vista operating 
    system, you must enable network discovery and NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

    To enable connections:

    1) From the Control Panel, double-click Network and Sharing.
    2) In the Sharing and Discovery section of the Network and Sharing Center, 
       click Network discovery and then Turn on network discovery.
    3) In the Network section, click View Status next to the Local Area 
       Connection.
    4) In the Local Area Connection Status dialog box, click Properties.
    5) In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, choose the 
       appropriate Internet Protocol Version and click Properties.
    6) In the Internet Protocol Version Properties dialog box, click Advanced.
    7) On the WINS page of the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box, click 
       Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and then click OK.
    8) Continue clicking OK or Close until all dialog boxes are closed.
