Specifications

l If you are running ChangeBASE on a Machine that does not have VMware Workstation installed and you
want to connect to an ESX/vCenter server, or if you encounter errors connecting to ESX servers 5.1 and
above, download and install the VIX SDK (http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/).
l The App-V 5.0 Sequencer requires the prior installation of Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0 Full and
PowerShell 3.0. The latter is automatically installed with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.
Alternatively, you can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-
gb/download/details.aspx?id=34595 or http://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=34595.
Recommended Configuration for Optimal
Performance
For optimal performance it is recommended that:
l Ifyou are using VMware Workstation (with shared VMs), you use 64-bit Windows for the host machine.
l If you are using 64-bit Windows for the SQL Server machine, you use 64-bit SQL Server.
Space requirements for the database are 16 GB per 400 packages (40 GB per 1000).
NOTE: When large numbers (more than 2000) of packages are imported into ChangeBASE, you may
experience a degradation of import speeds. Over the course of time, the indexes on some tables can
become fragmented which has a negative impact on performance. In this situation, please refer to the
Dell Knowledge Base article 135255 for more details.
