Before beginning an installation of Smart Instrumentation Database Server, verify that your servers and end-user workstation computers meet the following hardware recommendations and software requirements.
-
The Smart Instrumentation database management server installation was certified on 64-bit hardware with a 64-bit operating system and 64-bit database software. The client machine installation was certified on 64-bit hardware with a 64-bit operating system and 32-bit database software for Smart Instrumentation.
-
The Smart Instrumentation software cannot work with SQL Server 64-bit client because it is a 32-bit application. The software works with SQL Server 32-bit client, which can then work with SQL Server 64-bit server.
-
When installing Smart Instrumentation on a 64-bit operating system, the default installation folder is Program Files (x86).
Oracle Users
When upgrading from a previousSmart Instrumentation version, you must ensure that the following Oracle components are installed:
-
Oracle Server 64-bit
-
Oracle Client 64-bit
-
Oracle Client 32-bit
The 64-bit server and client are required because backup and upgrade processes now use 64-bit database components. The 32-bit client remains necessary for running Smart Instrumentation.
SQL Users
Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server must be installed on your workstation computers for Smart Instrumentation to work with your server. This software gets installed automatically while installing the Intergraph Smart Licensing client.
