Supported Software for Jama Connect® Self-Hosted 9.0.x

Server Components (KOTS)

Jama Connect self-hosted does not support high availability configurations. We recommend using snapshotting via your VM or taking nightly database backups to restore the application manually. We do not support changing Replicated outside the replicated admin console web UI.
 

Required System Specifications

See the following pages in the Jama Connect User Guide to determine data size thresholds and scale adjustments to your environments accordingly:

• Resource sizing for application server (KOTS)
  
  
• Configure custom memory settings for Elasticsearch (KOTS)

Operating Systems

Jama Connect can be installed on any Linux distribution supported by Docker CE.

We regression-test against the following distros:

• Red Hat 8.4 and 8.6
  
  • RHEL 8.x requires Containerd
    
• Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04
  
  
  • To use Ubuntu 22.04, you must update the memory, or Elasticsearch fails.
    
    
    • From the KOTS Admin Console, adjust the memory settings so that the Maximum Memory is 6G and the Maximum Memory for the Container is 8G

*We have ended support for CentOS with this Spring release. 

Database Servers

The database must be hosted on a server separate from the Jama Connect application. This server can host other databases, but we do not support other applications running on the same server as the database.

• MySQL 8*
  
  

• Microsoft SQL 2017, 2019, and 2022.

  • We do not support using the Azure database, as this is not tested. 

We do not support custom configurations of Jama Connect databases. Customizations such as query optimization and additional indexes not shipped with Jama Connect will not be supported. We do not expect any difference in customers’ database configuration, settings, indexes, triggers, etc., from what we regression test.

*We have ended support for MySQL 5.7 to provide extensive performance improvements brought about by redesigning areas of Jama Connect.

Browsers

Note that browser zoom is supported only at 100%. Use of browser extensions/add-ons or the enablement of Compatibility View is not supported while using Jama Connect. To prevent session issues, the application should be used in a single browser window. 

• Edge Chromium

• Safari**

**We will support versions released over the past 12 months.
