Component

Requirement

Client Requirements

Browser

Any client operating system supporting:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer IE10, IE11

• Firefox (later supported versions)

• Chrome (later supported versions)

Browser Configuration:  The default settings for most browsers is sufficient to use Unanet.  In particular though, the browsers must be configure to allow cookies and javascript.  .

Popup Blockers:  will need to be configured to allow popups from your Unanet site.

Server Requirements

Web Servers

The web server embedded in Tomcat will run the Unanet application, however, you can also use an external web server such as:

• Microsoft IIS 7 or higher

• Apache 2.2.x or higher

Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.0, we no longer support JRun.

Java

• Java 1.8

Note: We currently have yet to support Java versions 9, 10, and 11. Unanet plans to support the Long Term Support (LTS) versions of Java.  Currently, Java SE 8 is supported, with plans to support Java SE 11 when it is released.

Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.3, we no longer support Java 1.7.
Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.0, we no longer support Java 1.6.
Note: Beginning with Unanet version 9.6, we no longer support Java 1.5.

Servlet Engines

• Tomcat 8x (including 8.5)
  

Note: We currently have yet to support Tomcat version 9.

Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.3, we no longer support Tomcat 7.
Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.0, we no longer support Tomcat 6.

Important: Avoid use of Tomcat v8.0.32.   There is a known issue with this version that will cause problems with Unanet reports. The Tomcat issue was resolved beginning w/ v 8.0.33.

Operating System

• Windows 2008, 2008-R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016

• Unix / Linux
   

Note: Supported on 32 & 64 bit operating systems.

Note: Supported Virtual Environments - we include Hyper-V and VM-Ware in our testing procedures.

Note: Supported Cloud Platforms -- we include AWS in our testing procedures.  We are aware of customers successfully operating in Azure, however, we have yet to include this in our testing procedures.

Database

• Oracle 11gR1, 11gR2, 12cR1, 12.1.0.2 (Windows), *12.1.0.2 Jan 2018 update (Linux)

*Note: Due to issues identified during our testing for 12cR2 on Linux OS, we recommend using the specific version of 12.1.0.2 as listed above.

Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.0, we no longer support Oracle 10.
Note: Beginning with Unanet version 9.6, we no longer support Oracle 9.

• Microsoft SQL Server 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016 (Enterprise, Standard, Express Editions where available)

Note: Beginning with Unanet version 10.0, we no longer support SQL Server 2005.
Note: Beginning with Unanet version 9.4, we no longer support SQL Server 2000.

Note: JDBC drivers are included.

Note: The Express version has a number of limitations which may prevent its use in your environment, such as:

1. • Constrained to a single CPU (in 2012, this limitation has been changed to "the lesser of one socket or four cores" - thus, multi-threading is possible)
   • A maximum of 1GB RAM Buffer Pool (same in 2008 & 2012)
   • A maximum 4 GB database size (raised to 10GB in SQL 2008 & 2012)

   • Further, it may lack certain enterprise level utilities that may be of interest for database maintenance, tuning and possible future SQL Server version migration needs.  Further information my be found at:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169634/limitations-of-sql-server-express
