4 Documaker Standard Edition Requirements

Your computer must have certain software and hardware components to run the programs that comprise the Documaker system. Depending on your software license, operating environment, and your processing needs, these requirements vary.

The following tables outline the minimum hardware used to test Documaker and are included for informational reasons only. You should run the system on a computer configured appropriately for the operating system you use and with the processing power to meet your needs.

Note:

  • For running Documaker Studio, Documaker Server, Docupresentment and WIP Edit plug-in use Java 1.8 64-bit.
  • • For more specific information on the GenArc program and the additional archive and retrieval capabilities available, refer to the Documaker Administration Guide under Oracle Documaker Standard Edition .

On Windows

When running Documaker Studio, keep in mind:

  • You can use Oracle, and SQL Server databases with Documaker Studio.
  • If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 11 on the machine where Documaker Studio is running, turn on Internet Explorer’s compatibility view.
  • Microsoft Word 2016 and 2019 is required in order to:
    • Convert Microsoft Word (*.doc, *.docx) documents using Documaker Studio or command line utility RTF2FAP
    • Create or modify Documaker documents using Oracle Documaker Add-Infor Microsoft Word
    • Microsoft.NET Programmability Support in MS Word.

      Note:

      If you are using Oracle database and ODBC connection, the Oracle Instant Client version 12.1.0.2.0 must be used as the client for the Data Source Name.

      Documaker Add-In for Microsoft Word supports Microsoft Office 2016 and 2019.

    Table 4-1 Applications Required

    Item Version
    Microsoft.NET Framework If you are using Office 2016 or Office 2019, you will need.Net 4.0,.Net 4.5.1 and VSTO2010 installed.

    Review the Microsoft Download Center site for any additional requirements associated with these applications:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/

  • Microsoft VSTO (Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime).

    Note:

    The Microsoft.NET Framework must be installed before the VSTO Runtime.
    This table outlines the minimum hardware used to test the system on single user for Windows.

    Table 4-2 Testing Hardware Configuration

      For Windows
    CPU Intel® x64 Compatible 2 Cores CPU @2.25GHz
    Memory Foot 1 4 GB RAM
    Hard disk Foot 2 150 GB
    Printer HP-compatible printers supporting PCL version 5
    Printer memory Foot 3 8 MB RAM
    Runtime library Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable Package (x64)

    Footnote 1 Additional memory improves system performance.

    Footnote 2 Depends on the volume of data you must process

    Footnote 3 Additional memory may be required if printing complicated graphics or using a lot of fonts.

On LINUX/Solaris Systems

For all Linux/Solaris systems, you can use any printer that supports IBM AFP, PCL, PostScript level 2, or Xerox Metacode. For HP printers, you need at least 8mb of memory, more if you are printing complicated graphics or using a lot of fonts. The amount of hard disk space you need depends on the volume of data you process.

Keep in mind too, that a compiler is only required if you plan to recompile the system, such as if you customize the source code or use a runtime library other than the one shown for your operating system.

Note:

For any Linux installation, first make sure you have the uudecode, uncompress, and awk utilities installed.
