ADVIZOR Server AE Requirements

Platform

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (R2) (64-bit)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (R2) (64-bit)
  • Note: We do NOT support Windows Server 2003 (64-bit)
  • IIS 7 or newer, installed and running prior to installation of the Microsoft .NET Framework
    • For IIS 7 (Windows Server 2008), the following Role Services must be pre-installed:
      • Common HTTP Features/Static Content
      • Common HTTP Features/Default Document
      • Common HTTP Features/Directory Browsing
      • Common HTTP Features/HTTP Errors
      • Application Development/ASP.NET
      • Security/Windows Authentication (needed for secure configuration)
      • Management Tools/IIS Management Console
      • Management Tools/IIS 6 Management Compatibility/IIS 6 Scripting Tools
    • For IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012) and later, the following Role Services and Features are also needed:
      • Application Development/ASP.NET 3.5
      • Application Development/ASP.NET 4.5 (or 4.6)
      • .NET Framework 3.5 Features/HTTP Activation
      • .NET Framework 4.5 (or 4.6) Features/WCF Services/HTTP Activation

Hardware

  • Any current server-class computer, with multiple x64 processor cores.
  • At least 16GB of RAM is recommended.

Clients

ADVIZOR Analyst projects that have been published to ADVIZOR Server AE can be accessed and interacted with using the following clients:

  • Any modern browser:
    • Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 or 11
    • Microsoft Edge (Windows 10)
    • Google Chrome (Windows or MacOS)
    • Mozilla Firefox (Windows or MacOS)
    • Apple Safari (MacOS)
  • The ADVIZOR iPad app, downloadable from the iPad App Store.

Estimating Server RAM Usage

ADVIZOR Server AE generally requires the same amount of RAM to open the first session of a project as ADVIZOR Analyst. Additional concurrent sessions share the data pool and typically increase the RAM required by 15-30% (depending on the type and number of charts in the published project), so the example project cited above might require 2 GB to support 10 concurrent sessions (550 MB + 9 * 150 MB). Note that an ADVIZOR Server AE session is normally recycled after 20 minutes of inactivity, so typical concurrent load is much less than a coordinated training session, for instance.

Databases Supported

In addition to text files, ADVIZOR Analyst, Analyst/X, Desktop Navigator, and Server AE can load data from the following types of databases:

  • Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLSX) (not via ODBC)
  • Microsoft Access (not via ODBC)
  • SalesForce.com (except Server AE)
  • Microsoft SQL Server (version 7.0 or later)
  • Oracle (version 9i or later)
  • ODBC interfaces to databases (NOTE: ODBC connections must be defined as "System DSNs" through Windows Control Panel prior to using them in ADVIZOR):
    • Oracle ODBC driver - SQORA32.DLL
    • Microsoft ODBC for Oracle - MSORCL32.DLL
    • Microsoft SQL Server - SQLSRV32.DLL
    • Pervasive drivers
      • Pervasive ODBC Client Interface - W3ODBCCI.DLL
      • Pervasive ODBC Engine Interface - W3ODBCEI.DLL
    • MySQL driver
      • MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver - MYODBC3.DLL (MyODBC-3.51.11-2-win.msi - when used with MySQL version mysql-essential-4.1.13-win32.msi)
      • MySQL 5 – MYODBC5.DLL
    • Splunk
    • Greenplum (DataDirect, DDGPLM25.DLL/IVGPLM25.DLL)
