Envision System Requirements
- A working implementation of WinSPC version 8.0.0 (or newer).
- WinSPC databases supported:
- SQL Server 2008 or later (all editions, including R2 and Express)
- Oracle 11g or later
The absence of a database from the list above means that particular database was not tested in DataNet’s quality assurance lab. It does not mean that the database is known to be incompatible with WinSPC Envision. DataNet will do its best to support installations using configurations other than those listed above.
- A web server machine (that will host the Envision system and processes) with:
- One of the following operating systems: Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) or Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit). (Microsoft Windows IIS must be running on the operating system.)
- At least 1 GB of available hard disk.
- Internet Explorer 5 or newer. (Required for the XML parsing module.)
- Network access to the WinSPC database(s) that Envision will access.
- 32-bit ODBC drivers for those WinSPC database(s). (Note: Even if the web server is 64-bit, the 32-bit ODBC drivers still need to be installed.)
- Access to an SMTP server for WinSPC Envision email functionality.
- Processor and available RAM (meaning RAM in addition to the amount required by the server operating system and other applications) suitable to the number of Envision users as detailed in the following table:
Users Processor Available RAM <10 Single core 1GHz+ class CPU 256 MB 10-50 Dual core 1.5GHz+ class CPU 512 MB 51-100 Dual core 2GHz+ class CPU 1 GB - Additional capacity as required by the server machine’s operating system (according to Microsoft’s documentation) and by other applications that will be running concurrently with Envision. (Note: The Envision server can be considered both a web server and an application server for hardware and software planning purposes.)
- Client systems with:
- A suitable web browser/operating system combination, such as: Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7; Internet Explorer 11, Chrome 65, or Firefox 59 on Windows 10; and Safari on Apple iOS. (These combinations were tested in DataNet’s quality assurance lab. Combinations omitted from this list do not imply incompatibility with WinSPC Envision. Envision supports a variety of client and web browser combinations. DataNet support will do its best to assist installations using combinations other than those listed here.)
- A browser that has both JavaScript and cookies enabled for the Envision site.
It is recommended to have the latest service packs and patches installed for all operating systems, databases, web browsers, and other software.
