SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS System Architecture Figure 1: System architecture of BWise 4.1. BWise 4.1 is a comprehensive and scalable Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) platform that consists of one or more servers. The server with the BWise software consists of: - An application server - A database server - A reporting server (reports generated with Crystal Reports Server Embedded version 2008 SP3) It is recommended to use a dedicated server when using SAP BusinessObjects as a reporting tool. Note: For customizations and process diagrams, you will need BWise 4.1 Builder as the client software. [4135-REQ-D01-EN] BWise 4.1 SP3.5 4
Application Server Server Hardware Requirements The minimum system requirements for a server equipped with BWise 4.1 SP3.5 are: Component Operating system Processor Memory Available hard-disk space Requirements Windows Server 2003 with SP1 or later (32 and 64 bit), Windows Server 2008 (32 and 64 bit) or Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit). A recent dual core processor. 4 GB RAM. 1.5 GB for the application server. 10 GB for the database server (depends of course on usage). 10 GB for a reporting server if SAP BusinessObjects is used. Note: SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) platform 4.0 requires a 64-bit OS. When you install the software on a virtual machine (VMware should be running on ESX Server), the system requirements are at least 25% higher than the requirements for a dedicated server mentioned above. Additional Server Software Requirements The software requires the Oracle Java SE 6 Development Kit (JDK). The BWise 4.1 Server installation includes JDK release 1.6.0_33. Do not update the installed JDK release as BWise 4.1 might not support the update version. The use of a dedicated reporting server is recommended. BWise 4.1 Server automatically installs Crystal Reports Server Embedded (version 2008 SP3) for reporting. It is also possible to use SAP BusinessObjects. BWise 4.1 SP3.5 supports SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3, SP5, and SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) platform 4.0. You must use SAP BusinessObjects for Web-i integration. The basic SAP BusinessObjects deployment requires the installation of Tomcat 6. Please refer to the BOE XI 3.1 SP3 Installation Guide for guidelines on how to deploy SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3. For additional system requirements, refer to the SAP BusinessObjects documentation or website. BWise Server software can run on a virtual machine and supports: VMware 4i - 5.0.0 (must be running on ESX Server). Microsoft Hyper-V TM Server 2008 R2. Supported Databases BWise 4.1 Server requires access to a database. BWise 4.1 will not install the database, so you should create one before you start the installation. [4135-REQ-D01-EN] BWise 4.1 SP3.5 5
Supported databases for a production environment are: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 and SP3, 2008 R2. Oracle version 10G and 11G. Important: The add-on modules Continuous Monitoring and Audit Analytics only support SQL Server. Network BWise recommends at least a 1 Gbit network connection between the application server and the database server. This also applies to BWise Servers in a multiple server environment. If the database and the BWise application are on the same machine, the connection is faster than on separate machines. Client Systems End-User Client System Requirements Functionality is tested and guaranteed for Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 6 SP2, 7, 8 or 9), FireFox (version 3.6x and higher), and Google Chrome TM (version 12 and higher). When using drag & drop reporting (Universes with Web-I integration), the client system requires Java Runtime Environment version 1.5 or 1.6 (recommended). Please note that the client system may contain only one installed Java version. The diagram editor and BWise 4.1 Builder require a secure connection via HTTP and cannot connect to a server that has been set up to use HTTPS only. Builder Client System Requirements The minimum system requirements for a client using BWise 4.1 Builder are: Component Operating system Processor RAM Available hard disk space Requirement Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit). A dual-core processor. 1 GB (32 bit), 2 GB (64 bit). At least 100 MB. [4135-REQ-D01-EN] BWise 4.1 SP3.5 6
