Minimum Requirements for Server Hosting SQL Database
ChangeBASE supports both SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012. The requirements are as given in the
following links:
l SQL Server 2008 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.105).aspx
l SQL Server 2012 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
NOTE: The server may run SQL Server Express, but due to its one GB of RAM usage restrictions, as well
as its database size limits, it is recommended that SQL Express is used for no more than 600 packages.
CAUTION: The SQL Server Collation must be Case Insensitive (CI).
It is recommended that:
l The SQL Server Browser service is set to Automatic.
l TCP/IP protocol is enabled in the database(s).
Minimum Requirements to Host on a Virtual Environment
Hosting on a virtual environment is supported. The minimum requirements remain the same, but with the
following additional requirements for medium and large operations
l The number of recommended cores should not be shared with other virtual computers
l The amount of available RAM should not be shared with other virtual computers
l On the SQLServer, the ChangeBASE database and SQLTempDB should be located on physically separate
drives and not shared with other virtual computers
