Pre-installation: New

There are a number of installation permutations that you can use. Some of the common scenarios include:

Standalone installation

The following is installed on the same machine:

• SYSPRO Application Server software
• Microsoft SQL Server software
• Data Client screens

This type of installation is typically used for demonstration and/or development purposes.

2-tier installation: Client/Server

The SYSPRO client software resides on each client machine.

The following reside on the server:

• SYSPRO Application Server software
• Microsoft SQL Server software
• Data
• SYSPRO Communications Service (allowing clients to connect)

3-tier installation: Client/Server

The SYSPRO client software resides on each client machine.

The SYSPRO Application Server software resides on the dedicated SYSPRO server, together with the SYSPRO Communications Service (allowing clients to connect).

Microsoft SQL Server software and data reside on the dedicated database server.

All credentials in this environment must be SQL Server Authentication.

Windows Authentication is unable to move credentials across two levels of architecture (i.e. client to server and then server to database server).

Terminal Server installation

There are various configurations that could be used for a Terminal Server environment:

• It could act as a dedicated server. Instead of running the SYSPRO client software, you would run the standalone SYSPRO shortcut.
• It could act as a dedicated client machine where the SYSPRO client software is installed. The application may be published under terminal server providing a SYSPRO icon to each user's workstation. Clicking the icon runs the SYSPRO client.
• It could host both the client and server portions of the SYSPRO Software on the same machine. This provides a lockdown method of the SYSPRO working and data Files, giving users access via the client side software only.

Ensure that you have reviewed and met the following system requirements before proceeding with your SYSPRO 8 journey.

• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6

  If you intend on emailing from within SYSPRO (including SYSPRO Reporting Services Reports and Document Printing) and your email technology predates Microsoft Office 365, then .NET Framework 3.5 may also be required.

• Windows Installer 5.0

  This results in all machines having the latest Windows updates.

• Microsoft SQL Server 2012 onwards

• Microsoft PIAs

  Microsoft's Office Primary Interop Assemblies allow SYSPRO to integrate with line-of-business applications, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Outlook.

  Coupled with SYSPRO Office Integration you can surface SYSPRO data inside Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.

  Microsoft Outlook PIA's are required if you intend using the SYSPRO Email Client.

• Java runtime

  This is required if you use client-side printing.

• Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services) Version 6 onwards

• Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 onwards (64-bit)

• Microsoft Windows Server 2012 onwards

• Microsoft Office 2016 onwards

  SYSPRO 8 integrates to the Microsoft Office suite, and both variants of Microsoft Office 365 (locally-installed and cloud-based) are supported as standard.
