This topic lists the minimum system requirements to run Aptify 6.0 in various environments. Note that these requirements are only an estimate; an individual client's requirements may vary. For example, a client’s disk array solution will depend on projected transactions per minute. This needs to account for orders, queries, web transactions and other types of database transactions. Disk Subsystem requirements vary greatly from customer to customer due to factors such as transactional throughput and capacity. Because of this, Aptify is unable to make complete recommendations for the required storage solution. The examples given for each hardware class should be used as a starting point for understanding the storage requirements to be implemented in your system. If you would like to virtualize your environment please consult with Aptify’s Infrastructure Specialists for additional recommendations. |
...
The requirements are listed in the following sub-sections:
- Supported Database and Operating Systems
- Requirements to Use Microsoft SQL Server 2017
- Minimum Hardware Requirements - Database Server
- Mid-Point Hardware Requirements - Database Server
- High-End Hardware Requirements - Database Server

To support the Microsoft SQL Server 2017 for Aptify 6.0 application, the 'CLR Strict Security' must be disabled. If your 'CLR Strict Security' setting is enabled (value = 1), follow the below steps to disable the same:
- Log into SQL Server 2017 with Administrator privileges.
- Right-click the Aptify database and select the 'New Query' option.
- To confirm that the Server 2017 with Administrator privileges.
- Right-click the Aptify database and select the 'New Query' option.
To confirm that the 'CLR Strict Security' is enabled, run the given query.
Info select name,value from sys.configurations where name = 'clr strict security'.
If the value = 1, your 'CLR Strict Security' is enabled.
If the value = 0, your 'CLR Strict Security' is
disabled.
Enable ‘show advance options’ to proceed further. To confirm the value of ‘show advance options’ run the given query.
Info select name, value from sys.configurations where name = 'clr strict security'. show advanced options'
If the value = 1, your 'CLR Strict Securityshow advance options' is enabled.
- If the value = 0, your 'CLR Strict Securityshow advance options ' is disabled.
Enable ‘show advance options’ by executing given procedure.
Info EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
To disable the 'CLR Strict Security' (value = 0) include the given query and execute it.
Info EXEC sp_configure 'clr strict security', 0
RECONFIGURE
USE APTIFY
ALTER DATABASE CURRENT SET TRUSTWORTHY ON;
ALTER DATABASE CURRENT SET TRUSTWORTHY OFF;
Execute the below query to make sure that the 'CLR Strict Security' is disabled (value = 0).
Info select name,value from sys.configurations where name = 'clr strict security'.
