11.160: System Prerequisites
Overview
The access to waveware is diverse. The deployment can be differently scaled depending on the requirement:
In the above example, a system structure is displayed, as it is recommended for the larger installations.
Data base server | |
waveware server | |
Terminal server (optional) | |
Reverse Proxy (optional) |
For a waveware system installation, a database and the waveware server are necessary. The deployment is also possible through a terminal server. The optional Reserve Proxy serves in the above example of the deployment of the web client via the Internet. Each of the roles can be offered through any private server, as displayed above. Alternatively, you can also pool the deployment on a server.
During the performed set-up, the following access methods are available for the users:
Terminal server-Client (RDP) | |
waveware FAT-Client | |
waveware Web-Client / Custom Pages |

Single Sign-On per IIS
To be able to use Single Sign-On through the Web, an IIS Web server with .NET Framework 4.5 is necessary. The Single Sign-On Website must be installed on the Web server per MSDeploy.
Further information on the setting and usage is under 'Single Sign-On in the Web and Custom Pages'.
Web Clients
You can call a waveware Web-Client via each hardware, which supports the following browsers:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
from Version 11 - Apple Safari
macOS: from Version 9,
iOS: unsupported - Google Chrome
from Version 44 - Mozilla Firefox
from Version 38
For the operation of the web client, a performance of at least 5MBit/s per session is recommended.
Mobile Clients
The waveware Mobile Client is offered native for three platforms iOS, Android, Windows 10 (Universal Windows Platform - UWP). The following software versions are needed for the operation of the application:
- Android
Android 6 (Marshmallow) - Apple
iOS 11 - Windows
Windows 10 Version 1709 (Fall Creators Update), Windows 10 Mobile is not supported
File System DMS
As the document management creates single files in sub-folders within the data directory, it should be considered, that such file system is used for many documents, that allows a relevant number of sub-folders. The file system NTFS is recommended.
Notes on the Hardware Data
In general, all data apply to the current hardware in the year of 2014. They are distinguished among:
- Minimal:
waveware is completely loadable. Up to 5 CC users can execute all the possible operations in the default data world with few records; however, the execution of single operations can last for several minutes. - Recommended:
Up to 5 CC users can work in a the default data world with an amount of data of up to 500.000 records without greater latency. - Optimal:
Factors for a performant hardware equipment (and so to decide on case-by-case basis):- Number of users, who work with the system
- Package and rules, which require database actions and/or computing capacity
- Package for mass data processing is used, e.g.:
- Dashboard/KPIs
- Work directives / work stages
- etc.
- Intensive and regular use of the module selection,Dashboard/KPI, Import/Export:
- Interfaces
- Users, who work with a lot of analysis
- Multi-Operations
- etc.
- Other applications are executed on the system alongside waveware.
- A virtual machine as waveware host, must share hardware resources with other virtual machines.
