Recommended Server Platform	SCT Computer In a split configuration, you cannot install SCT on either the ADX web/application server computer or the ADX database server computer. Refer to the System Configuration Tool Catalog Page (LIT-1900198) for current SCT computer requirements.
Required Minimum Memory ⁴	For large to extra large sites: 64 GB RDIMM, 2933MT/s, Dual Rank For extra large sites: 64 to 128 GB RDIMM, 2933MT/s, Dual Rank The VM host must have at least 16 GB of allocated RAM at all times. When you configure the VM, do not select the enable dynamic memory option.
Number of engines supported	For information about the number of engines supported, refer to the table labeled Maximum number of network engines supported based on Metasys Server type and Server size in the Metasys System Configuration Guide (LIT-12011832).
Number of Site Management Portal users supported	For large to extra large sites: Up to 50 For extra large sites: Up to 100
Number of Metasys UI users supported	For large to extra large sites: Up to 50 For extra large sites: Up to 50
Supported Operating Systems and Database Software ⁵ ^, ⁶	Windows® Server® 2022 (64-bit) Windows® Server® 2019 (version 1809 or later) (64-bit) Supports: SQL Server® 2022 (64-bit) SQL Server® 2019 with CU18 (64-bit) Note: SQL Server 2019 may cause the configuration service cache that builds stored procedures to time out. This causes the user's login to Metasys UI to fail. To resolve this issue, set SQL Server 2019 databases to run in 2017 compatibility mode. For more information, refer to docs.microsoft.com SQL Server® 2017 with CU31 (64-bit) Note: Metasys Advanced Reporting System does not support SQL Server 2019 or SQL Server 2022.
Supported Virtual Environments	Microsoft Hyper-V™ VMware®
Supported User Interfaces	Metasys UI Site Management Portal (SMP) Note: For non-MVE sites at Release 12.0 or later, SMP requires a license. The license is available only to existing Metasys customers. On MVE sites, SMP does not require a license. The MVE license includes SMP UI access.
Additional Software Included with the ADX Software Download	Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 Microsoft .NET 6.0.16 Launcher Software Metasys Database Manager software Metasys Advanced Reporting System software RabbitMQ Server 3.8.16 Erlang OTP 23.2 (11.1.4) Report Viewer 2012 Note: The Metasys Advanced Reporting System requires an ADX. The SCT computer must be online and accessible to the ADX at all times.
Optional Hardware	Any network or local printer supported by the qualified Windows operating system
Optional Software	CCT Software SCT Software Metasys Export Utility

For SQL Server software, you must purchase SQL Server software licenses per the guidelines listed here: SQL Server 2022 SQL Server 2019, and SQL Server 2017.

¹ Our computer platform and memory recommendations are not meant to imply that older or slower machines are not usable. Refer to the Network and IT Guidance Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011279) for more information regarding computer/server recommendations.

² For best performance, use SSD (preferred) or SAS hard drives (not SATA hard drives) that use RAID controllers with write-caching enabled.

³ ADX prerequisite software includes the Windows operating system and SQL Server software, Windows .NET Framework, and any other software or service packs required for your ADX configuration.

⁴ For best performance, use the maximum amount of memory. An ADX with 64 GB RAM has much greater performance than an ADX with only 32 GB RAM.

⁵ The web/application and database servers must have the same operating system installed.

⁶ Refer to the Network and IT Guidance Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011279) for specific Microsoft Windows operating system settings that may be required for your Metasys system configuration.
