System requirements for Exact Globe Next product update 411

 

These are the system requirements for product update 411 of Exact Globe Next. Please be informed that third party software products like for example Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office and Microsoft SQL Server have their own system requirements which might be different from the system requirements of Exact Globe Next. Also Exact Synergy and Exact Synergy Enterprise have their own sets of system requirements that have to be taken into account.

The Exact Lightweight Integration Server (ELIS) solution provides an easy way of deploying and managing the external solutions of Exact Synergy Enterprise and Exact Globe Next, such as Exact Integrator, Exact Word Merge, Exact Shop Floor Control, and others. For more details on the system requirements for ELIS, see System requirements for Exact Lightweight Integration Server (ELIS).

Before installing Exact Integration, several pre-requisites must be met in order for you to install Exact Integration successfully. For more information, see Pre-requisites — Exact Integration.

Exact follows the Microsoft support lifecycle policy. In this policy Microsoft provides guidelines for product support availability throughout a product lifecycle. For more information, see Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy.

General requirements

  • Microsoft .NET framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1 and Microsoft .NET framework 4.5 are required for Exact Globe Next.
  • Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2008 (x86) Redistributable Service Pack 1 is required (this feature is automatically installed if not present in the target server and target client). 
  • Regularly backup the administrations/databases and store the backup on a different media device (not the machine where the Microsoft SQL Server is installed).
  • Perform regular database maintenance.
  • To update the software via the internet an internet connection is needed.
  • Use scalable hardware.
  • For support of Exact Globe Next in a WAN environment see document 10.287.204.
  • For support of Clustered SQL Server environment see document 10.573.735.
  • For the corporate statement for virtualization in combination with Exact's products, see document 25.960.649
  • The system requirements are based on the usage of Exact Globe Next only, if other applications are used on the same machines the requirements should be increased.
  • System requirements for Terminal Servers are based on dedicated Terminal Servers, which means no other applications are running. In case other applications are running as well, the hardware specifications should be increased accordingly.
  • In case multiple active directories are used and a trust needs to be established between those active directories, Windows Small Business Servers are not supported. A trust needs to be established if data needs to be send across active directories.
  • Every new service pack is supported automatically by Exact, unless explicitly announced otherwise.
  • In a network environment a Microsoft Active Directory (domain) needs to be present. The workstations, the SQL Server and the Windows Terminal Server need to be part of the same active directory.
  • The system requirements of Exact Event Manager can be found in document 20.854.166.
  • For support of Exact Globe Next, Exact Synergy, and Exact Synergy Enterprise virtualizing Microsoft SQL Server on a Storage Area Network, see document 21.603.931.
  • If you are using Exact Integration, make sure you have the correct version of Exact Globe Next and Exact Synergy Enterprise installed for Exact Integration to work. For more information, see Support Matrix - Exact Integration.
  • Exact follows the Microsoft support lifecycle policy. In this policy, guidelines are provided by Microsoft for product support availability throughout a product lifecycle. For more information, see Microsoft Support Lifecycle Policy.
  • For the corporate statement for Citrix in combination with Exact's products, see document 26.387.682.
  • If a solution utilized uses the Exact Entity Service from Exact Globe Next, the Exact Entity Service must run on a separate machine where Microsoft SQL Server is not running.
  • Exact advises a dedicated database server (SQL Server) for larger databases to guarantee optimal performance.
