System Requirements
xSuite Interface Windows Prism is delivered as a Windows application that can be executed as a stand-alone product. The application contains all the required components of the .NET runtime environment. A separate installation of these components is therefore not necessary. The files for most third-party libraries and interfaces to third-party systems supported by the program are also included.
Notice
Any additional files that must be obtained and installed for optional tools and interfaces are indicated where relevant in this online help.
For an overview of all third-party components included in the xSuite Interface Windows Prism package, see Third-Party Components.
For basic use of the program, the following additional resources are required:
Resource | Information and comments |
|---|---|
Database system | A database system is required for internal administrative records. Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL are supported as relational database systems. Alternatively, a MongoDB can be connected as a document-based NoSQL system. During the first execution, the program automatically attempts to create the database and the required database objects. When using a relational database, creator rights are required for full creation of the database. Alternatively, an empty database with the desired basic settings can be created manually in advance, in which the program adds the missing objects with owner rights. After starting an updated program version for the first time, the program must also have rights to make changes to the database structure. Full access to all objects in the database is required for ongoing operation. |
Temporary file storage | Dedicated storage is needed to temporarily store the file attachments of the records to be processed. Full access to the file system folder used for temporary storage is required for ongoing operation. |
In principle, the program can run without these two types of external resources, in which case an in-memory database and in-memory storage is implicitly used. This constellation does not, however, allow persistence for processing states beyond the runtime of the program. Without these two external resources, practical options for application are thus limited to testing and special cases.
