Everything at a glance - system overview

HSi systems are designed for use in an intranet and/or on the Internet. Java is the used programming language. Therefore, your server must run a Java-capable operating system (Windows, Linux, Solaris or MacOS).

The systems support multiple clients.
The user only requires a browser on the client side.

Data backup

A distinction is made between transaction data and master data for the data backup. Transaction data (e.g. item, item line, work plan, work process, work level) is stored in a database. The rules and value tables are saved in XML files.

Software

The application runs on these server platforms: Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix and Solaris.

The following are installed on the server:
- Java 5
- Tomcat 5 servlet/JSP container (including the HSi Web application)
- HSplanCS communication module

These database systems are supported: Oracle, Informix, Progress, DB2, SAPDB, My SQL, MS SQL Server, Instant DB, Pervasive SQL, Sybase and Postgre SQL.

The application requires a browser for the World Wide Web on the client side. These browsers are supported: Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or later)and Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 or later).

Note (only applies to HSadmin/R): a current Java plug-in is required to operate the rule editor on the client side.
