System Requirements for Production Accounting

• System Requirements for Production Accounting
• • Production Accounting Application Server
  • Production Accounting Database Server
  • Production Accounting Clients
  • Configuration
  • Virtualisation

Important: System specifications and disk space requirements depend on anticipated data volumes and growth. Datamine recommends a scoping study to determine exact requirements. Testing or training environments must not be set up on the same server as the production environment, in order to reduce the load on the production server and isolate it from potential issues in other environments. For high-availability solutions additional hardware is required. This should be discussed with your Datamine representatives during the implementation study/budgeting phase.

Production Accounting Application Server

CPU	4 cores
Operating System	Windows Server 2019 / 2022
Memory	32 GB RAM
Storage	50 GB (Operating System) 50 GB (software and logs) 100 GB (working directory)
Network	1 Gbit LAN network link or better to Database Server
.NET	.NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.8 ASP.NET Core 8.0 Runtime Windows Hosting Bundle including ASP.NET Core Module (ANCM) for IIS
Utilities	WinZip or 7-Zip bcp.exe and sqlcmd.exe ¹
Other	Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) ² Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) ³ Time zone configuration must be the same as the Database Server and Reporting Server Server Daylight Saving setting must be correctly configured based on region and Production Accounting configuration ⁴

Production Accounting Database Server

CPU	4 cores
Operating System	Windows Server 2019 / 2022
Memory	32 GB RAM
Storage	50 GB (Operating System) 200 GB (databases) ¹ 300 GB (working directory for backups and temporary databases used during upgrades)
RDBMS	Microsoft SQL Server 2017 / 2019 / 2022 (with supported compatibility level from 130)
Network	1 Gbit LAN network link or better to Application Server
Other	Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio WinZip or 7-Zip Time zone configuration must be the same as the Application Server and Reporting Server Server Daylight Saving setting must be correctly configured based on region and Production Accounting configuration ²

Production Accounting Clients

Operating System	Windows 10 / 11
Memory	4 GB RAM
Browser	Microsoft Edge with pop-ups enabled

Configuration

The computer used to create and modify the Production Accounting configuration must have Microsoft Excel installed.

The computer used to deploy the Production Accounting configuration must have bcp.exe and sqlcmd.exe available. These utilities are included as part of SQL Server or the Microsoft Command Line Utilities.

These computers may be the Application Server, the Database Server, a Production Accounting Client, or a consultant's computer.

Virtualisation

Virtualisation technology is widely used with good results for the entire suite of Intelligent Mining Solutions (IMS) products. This includes server virtualisation, application virtualisation, and cloud-based virtual environments provided by vendors such as Microsoft, VMWare, and Amazon. We take advantage of some of these technologies in our own development environments. No conflicts have been reported; however, due to the wide variety of vendors and technologies, Datamine is unable to test all virtualisation possibilities and therefore cannot offer explicit support for any of them.
