To use e-Business 6.3, an organization needs to install the Aptify e-Business 6.3 website on a web server on your network (outside the firewall to access from anywhere on the Internet or inside the firewall if you only want to support access over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection).
This section describes the hardware and software requirements for the server that will host the e-Business 6.3 website and the database server configurations needed for e-Business 6.3.
Note that the e-Business 6.3 web server will typically be a different server than the one that hosts the Aptify database. This is the recommended approach.
The server requirements for the e-Business 6.3 interface are described in the following topics:
At a minimum, a system that can run Windows Server 2012 R2 and IIS 7.0 can function as an e-Business 6.3 web server. However, Aptify recommends that an organization uses a system with at least the following specifications to host the e-Business 6.3 website:
The following is a list of software requirements for a computer that will host e-Business 6.3:
The following operating systems are supported for the e-Business 6.3 interface:
Version: e-Business 6.3 |
---|
|
Microsoft IIS 7.0 or higher with ASP.NET 4.0.30319 (or higher)
When a feature in the list below shows child features, only those features are required for installation. When a feature does not list any child features, all of the child features are recommended for installation. |
When configuring the IIS Server 7.0, Aptify recommends that you install the following Windows features for a minimal configuration:
Your Aptify database server must meet the following basic requirements before running the Installer:
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 (or higher)
