Beginning with Service Level 8, all Bankway customers have the option to utilize a SQL
database in lieu of MSDE and Microsoft® Access databases. A SQL server requires additional
licenses, whereas MSDE and Access do not require additional licenses. Microsoft® SQL
Server™ 2000 can be configured to automatically manage its disk usage, send notifications
upon encountering error conditions, and etc. Bankway users will experience slightly improved
performance with a properly configured SQL server, but otherwise will not notice any
differences.
The databases that control the presentations and business tasks in Bankway are maintained by
software installed on each Data Server. Each Data Server has a single data store that is either
SQL or a combination of MSDE and Microsoft® Access. Since a workstation inherits the
environment of the associated Data Server, these choices (reflected within the Configuration
Console) can dramatically impact the cost of deployment and will influence the performance of
Bankway.
The following information summarizes the Recommended Hardware Configuration for the
installation of Bankway.
Note: The Bankway SQL Server should be dedicated to the use and processing of
Bankway only.
