This document describes the minimum configuration requirements when installing a SAFE X3 Java Bridge server on a Microsoft Windows server.

CategoryConfiguration requirements
Operating system
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016 Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, Standard, and Datacenter
  • Note: Windows Server 2012 R2 should not be used for new installations, as:
    • Its End of Life is planned for October 10, 2023.
    • Sage will stop supporting Windows Server 2012 R2 in 2022.
    • If you are currently using Windows Server 2012 R2, you need to upgrade to Windows Server 2016 or 2019.
Computer
  • Industry-standard server or virtual machine in a certified virtualization platform/operating system configuration.
  • Processors:
    • Intel® CPUs:
      • Minimal models: Intel® Xeon® E5 v4, E7 v4
      • Recommended: Latest (third generation) or previous generation (second and first) Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, Gold or Platinum variants
    • AMD™ CPUs:
      • Opteron™ family is very slow on integer computation and should not be used at all.
      • EPYC™ gen.1 (7001 series) are behind equivalent Intel® Xeon® CPUs of the same generation. Their use is discouraged.
      • EPYC™ gen.2 (7002 series) can be used. Its performance is similar to equivalent Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors.
RAMMinimum configuration for a server hosting SAFE X3 Java Bridge:
  • 2 GB for Windows Operating System
  • 1 GB minimum for SAFE X3 Java Bridge
Disk space
  • 600 MB for SAFE X3 Java Bridge
Software prerequisites for SAFE X3 Java Bridge
  • A Java Runtime Environment or JDK 8 (minimum 8u201) must be installed before any Sage X3 component installation.
  • The SAFE X3 Adxadmin administration engine component must be installed before installing Sage X3 application and runtime components.
