FileConnect Installation Prerequisites
Software Requirements (minimum)
The following is a list of the minimum software requirements:
- Microsoft Server 2008 R2 or Microsoft Server 2012;
- RecordPoint Version 4.03 or later; and
- .NET Framework 4.5.
Hardware Requirements (minimum)
The following is a list of the minimum hardware requirements:
File Share Server | |
Processor | 2 Cores |
RAM | 8 GB |
Disk | Disk space is dependent on the queue size. When processing documents FileConnect will create a local queue entry in the \ProgramData\RecordPointActiveFileSystem\Queue by default. If required, change this to a disk location with sufficient storage capacity. Considerations for disk space: When processing with aggregation set to Active Submit Stub the FileConnect processor will queue item of around 1KB for each item it processes. Therefore if you are processing 10,000 records per day you will need 10MB of disk space for the queue. When processing with Active Submit, full copies of the binary will be queued, so you will need to calculate the size of the (binaries + 2 KB)* items. |

The following section will define the accounts required for set up prior to installation.
| Account | Description |
