SQL Connect System Requirements

To access the SQL database you will need Portfolio 5.0 application, Portfolio Server, Portfolio SQL Connect, plus the following:

SQL database, running on any Server:

Oracle 8i

Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 or Microsoft SQL Server 7.0

Windows NT, required for running the Portfolio Server and connecting with the SQL Server:

Hardware

Pentium PC (233 MHz or faster recommended)

OS

Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or higher (Server or Workstation)

Memory

32MB RAM (64MB RAM or more recommended)

Networking

TCP/IP Services installed

SQL Specific Needs

ODBC drivers appropriate for connecting to the SQL Server

Oracle only: a System DNS that points to the Oracle Server

Server hardware requirements are based on performance. The Server will function on any WinNT 4.0 system, but performance will probably be unacceptable if used with any system below the listed requirements. In addition, the Portfolio Server software will normally benefit a great deal from a faster processor, more physical memory, multiple processors, faster network connections, and faster hard drives (such as Ultrawide SCSI drives).

Note: Extensis does not provide Technical Support for setting up an SQL database, configuring TCP/IP Services, setting up DNS services, configuring a firewall, or other networking issues. For assistance with these issues, please consult your System Administrator or the product vendor’s technical support.
