Hardware Specifications

The following hardware specifications are recommended for the Workflow engine:

  • A minimum of 20 GB of free disk space

  • At least 16 GB RAM memory

    Note

    The memory should increase based on the type of workflows that you plan to deploy and run. For example, if your workflows have a large number of tasks and a high level of complexity, you might need to increase the memory to optimize the Workflow engine performance.

    The Workflow engine includes the SQL Server software. The software installation requires 30 GB of disk space for the Microsoft SQL Server application and database and 20 GB of temp space.

    In the future, you might need to provide additional space (several GB) to allow for database growth.

Database Engine

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition is automatically installed during the installation of the Workflow software. If you have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition already installed in your environment, the Workflow Engine will use the existing SQL Server.

For more information, see "Database Engine" in System Requirements - CommServe.

.NET Framework

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 is required and is automatically installed.

The File System Agent is installed automatically during the installation of this software component (if it is not installed already). To review the system requirements of the File System Agent, see System Requirements - Microsoft Windows File System Agent.
