Don't get lost: IMan Guides » Administration Guide » Install Prerequisites

Install Prerequisites

ClosedPrerequisites

The following section describes system software and windows components that must be installed on the computer on which Realisable IMan is to be installed.

We highly recommend that IMan is installed on a Server (2008, 2012, 2016) product for live deployments.

Server Virtualisation Support

A virtual server may be created to test before implementation, or to diagnose a problem.

IMan Client Requirements

IMan's workstation and web browser requirements.

ClosedDatabase Requirements

Software

  • Supported Versions
    • 2005, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016 all variants above and equal to SQL Express.
  • Unsupported
    • Compact or localDb variants.

Database Setup

Security

  • Authentication
    • SQL User or Integrated Security.
    • User must have full rights to database.

Recovery Model

  • Simple or full.

Growth Strategy

  • To prevent fragmentation, we recommend that the initial file and log sizes are set to 100MB with a 50% increase.

Collation

  • The collation sequence must be set to the correct collation option for your environment prior to setting up the database.

We do not support binary collation.

Database Sizing

Data requirements depend on deployment and integration setup options. Expect more rapid data growth for environments where there is a high audit requirement or where there could be a high number of warnings or errors encountered during the integration. This is true with ERP integration, particularly with inventory based transactional integrations (sales orders, purchase orders, shipping, and receiving.

Size

Exact sizing is difficult to predict, however the following table can be used as a guide to a year’s growth in the database:

Usage

Integrations & Frequency

 

Low
  • One integration extracting master data from a database source to a file or FTP Location.
  • Two Integrations integrating with an ERP System on a daily basis.

300 ~ 600

Medium
  • Three to ten integrations extracting master data from a database source to a file or FTP Location on a daily basis.
  • Three to five Integrations integrating with an ERP System.
  • Two integrations integrating with an ERP System on a weekly basis.

600 ~ 1400

Heavy
  • Three to ten integrations extracting master data from a database source to a file or FTP Location on a daily or more frequent basis.
  • Five or more integrations integrating with an ERP System on a daily or more frequent basis.
  • Two or more integrations integrating with an ERP System on a weekly basis.

1400+
ClosedIMan Client Requirements

All access to IMan is performed from a web browser.

For integration design, we recommend a relatively fast workstation located on the same local network as the server.

The following web browsers are supported:

  • Internet Explorer
    • Versions 10 and 11 only.
  • Mozilla Firefox
    • Any version released after 2015.
  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
