General Information

In the following sections you will find an overview of the system requirements for installing and commissioning various CADENAS GmbH applications.

Important Note

Please ensure that you are not working productively in the network during a new installation and / or an update! Otherwise, data loss and severe restrictions may occur during the process.

Note

If you are updating a server, it is advisable to carry out a data backup beforehand.

System Requirements

Operating System Requirements

Proper operation of eCATALOGsolutions within Windows is only guaranteed in conjunction with the system requirements listed below. Installations on other systems are possible with restrictions, but are not supported.

Operating System for the Client Operation of the Software	Windows 10 / 11
Server Version for the Licence Server & PARTapplicationServer	Windows Server >= 2016 (corresponds with Windows 10)
CAD specific Server Version	Windows Server >= 2022 (corresponds with Windows 11)

Hardware Requirements

CPU	Usual standard, multicore processor The more users access at the same time, the more cores (<25 = 8 cores and above 16).
RAM	Recommendation min. 4GB For a larger number of catalogs, definitely more.
Memory Space	5GB HDD (per installed platform) The storage space requirement depends heavily on the individual requirements. The information in the next point can make it easier to make an assessment:
Data standards & catalogs (incl. index) The index averages approx. 1/5. However, the proportion varies greatly because the index size depends on several factors such as component type or number of translation languages.	Currently available catalogs: approx. 950[a] Annual growth in catalogs: approx. 40 If all catalogs are installed, 40 GB storage space is required for the index and 200 GB storage space for the catalogs. If catalogs are located on the network drive, the index should still be cached locally. This means that additional space is required for the cache. The space required for the cache corresponds to the size of the index.
License Server	min. 64 MB; OpenGL-capable; hardware 3D support recommended
Graphic Card	(A resolution of at least 1280x1024 is required)

Revision Status: Sept. 2022

Network Requirements

Max. Size/call Transaction requirement Software Basic	< 20 MB on restart	Replication type: Allsync/rsync
Max. Size/call Transaction requirement Software Integration	< 5 MB when starting the CAD	Replication type: Allsync/rsync
Max. Size/call Transaction requirement Data Standards & Catalog Data Index	< 0.1 MB when calling up a parts family < 1 MB when changing the catalog	Replication type: Allsync/rsync
Max. Size/call Transaction requirement Server Service Licenses	not significant	Integrated replication manager / backup server
Max. Size/call Transaction requirement Data throughput catalogs per call of the subfamily	Bytes per part family: approx. 200 kB (depending on complexity and table size)	-

LinkDB

The LinkDB is an optional component and is required in any case for the operation of PARTsolutions with ERP/PDM integration.

Database Driver

ODBC or JDBC

Data Scope LinkDB

HDD: approx. 100 MB/10000 parts (depending on the number and width of columns)

LinkDB data throughput per call Parts family

Bytes per data set = number of loaded columns x character width per column

Total throughput LinkDB = bytes per data record x number of parts in part family

e.g. 5 columns of 20 characters x 500 parts = approx. 50 kB

e.g.10 columns of 20 characters x 1500 parts = approx. 300 kB
