System Requirements of the Server Components

Server: Hardware

Standard hardware configuration

CPU

4vCPUs

RAM

8 GB

HDD

50 GB free storage

Important:

The final dimensioning of the server hardware depends on several factors:

  • What is the load that generally occurs in the software environment?

  • Are other application servers running on the Congree server hardware (not recommended)?

  • Are the Congree databases in a dedicated Microsoft SQL Server, which is also on the Congree Server?

Please consult our consulting team to discuss these aspects with you.

Important:

The need for RAM depends on the amount of data stored. Therefore, allow for additional available RAM.

Important:

During the installation of Congree, a total of 7 GB free disk space is required. This is used temporarily.

Server: Operating System

Info:

When installing Congree, it is recommended that the Microsoft server used is in the delivery state. If unknown third-party software is installed on the Microsoft server, or the server configuration has been adjusted unexpectedly, there is a risk of Congree malfunctioning (the IIS configuration is the most risky part).

Important:

To be able to use the authentication method Trust Windows later on, the host for the Congree server components must be located within the domain.

for basic language check Italian or Japanese

OpenJDK

from 8

Note:

The following Across components need to be installed and licensed for the communication between Congree and Across:
• crossTerm Web API
• crossAPI SI
• Congree Connector
Furthermore, Congree needs a user in Across that is exclusively designated for Congree tasks and has the needed rights.
The third-party software of Across Systems GmbH has additional system requirements; see https://www.across.net/en/online-help

Important:

Please note that the Congree Authoring Memory feature requires a third-party component "nssm.exe" that starts a Java process and encapsulates it as a Windows service.

This may require exception rules in your thread prevention configuration, e.g. a virus scanner.

Server: Network

 MinimumRecommended
Data throughput100 Mbit/s1 Gbit/s or more
Latency< 10 ms (LAN)

Note:

The ports that need to be opened are specified in the chapter Open Ports.

Database Management System

 

Info:

In general, the system and configuration requirements of the Microsoft SQL Server must be fulfilled.

Name

Edition

Microsoft® SQL Server® 2022

Standard or Enterprise

Collation

Latin1_General_CI_AS

Important:

Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition does not meet the performance and database size requirements of production server installations. It also does not include maintenance and backup tools. It can therefore only be used for test purposes with small volumes.

Important:

SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode must be selected as Server authentication for the database management system. You can find this option in the server properties of your database management system in the Security menu.

Important:

For the SQL user for Congree to interact with the Congree database, you cannot use the following characters in the corresponding password:

  • "

  • '

  • ;

  • =
