aspenONE Overview

PackagingIncluded in your package from AspenTech, you will find the following itemsthat you will need prior to installation:

Letter notifying you which products are licensed.

Package of DVDs (see Installation DVDs below).

License file (only if a dongle has also been shipped to you).

Instructions on how to run the License Utility (if a dongle is not used).

DVDsThe DVDs associated with the aspenONE release include:

aspenONE Documentation DVD includes all AspenTech documentation. Thisincludes all manuals (in PDF format) and standalone versions of Help files.This DVD is not used in the product installation process, but can be usedseparately to browse the documentation and install PDF documentation.

aspenONE Product DVDs includes a number of DVDs that contain theinstallations for Aspen products. For a complete description of the contents ofthose DVDs, refer to the aspenONE Deployment Guide.

Start InstallationTo begin an installation, insert the appropriate DVD into your DVD drive. Youwill be prompted to configure your license information prior to installation.Aspen Administration components (SLM Server and Aspen Security (AspenFramework)) and some Aspen Engineering products do not require a licenseto install. For all others, you must configure the license information beforeyou can install. When the products are determined to have valid licenses, theAspenTech Installation Browser will request the products or product set thatyou want to install and request applicable DVDs as needed. Alternatively, DVDcontent can be shared from a network server.

10 1 Introduction

AspenTech Installation BrowserThe AspenTech Installation Browser provides a mechanism for users tovalidate their product licenses and browse through the products that they arelicensed for prior to installation. The AspenTech Installation Browser containstwo tabs, Administration and Products.

From the Administration tab, you can install the Aspen Administrationproducts Aspen SLM, Aspen Security (Aspen Framework), Aspen SLM tools,and aspenONE Diagnostics.

From the Products tab, you can browse for and install individual products.The Installation Browser will guide you in determining your licensed productsbased on your license configuration.

The AspenTech Installation Browser also includes links to Aspen Technologysupport centers and web sites for contact information, product updates andother resources. A link is also provided to easily access the licenseconfiguration wizard to determine which products you are licensed forinstallation.

Clicking Install starts the process during which you will select the products tobe installed on your computer.

For more information, see the aspenONE Deployment Guide.

Aspen Documentation DVDBefore installing any AspenTech product, be sure to print and read theinstallation guide and release notes documentation for each product youintend to install. All AspenTech installation and reference documents (in PDFformat) and standalone versions of Help files are included on the aspenONEDocumentation DVD.

Each product-specific installation guide contains critical information aboutsystem requirements, product dependencies, and post-installationconfiguration procedures. The release notes for each product containinformation on new features, software fixes, and known problems andworkarounds.

Installing License ManagerBefore Installing ApplicationsNormally you may need to install SLM (Software License Manager) productsbefore installing Aspen applications. For information on how to install SLM(Software License Manager) products, see Software License Manager (SLM)Installation and Reference Guide, which is contained on the DocumentationDVD.

1 Introduction 11

Installation ProcessTo begin an installation, insert any DVD into your DVD drive. The AspenTechInstaller requests the products or product set that you want to install andrequests applicable DVDs. Alternatively, DVD content can be shared from anetwork server.

To install Aspen Engineering Products, insert DVD 1.

For example, if you are performing a new installation of Aspen Engineeringproducts only, the AspenTech Installer installs infrastructure components(using the Infrastructure DVD) followed by Aspen Engineering components.

Important Installation Changefor V7.3With Aspen Engineering Suite V7.3, there are two options for installing AspenEngineering Products.

If you are installing:

o Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating V7.3.1

o Aspen Economic Evaluation V7.3.1

o Aspen Properties Mobile V7.3

Click Products | Aspen Engineering (for Upgrade) | Install.

If you are installing any other product:

Click Products | Aspen Engineering | Install.

Software RequirementsRequirements Notes

Intel Fortran 9.0, 9.1,10, 10.1,11.0, 11.1, or12.0

Required for customer development of Fortranprocedures.

Note: Intel Fortran Composer XE 2011 includes IntelFortran 12.0.

Aspen Basic Engineering AdditionalRequirements

Hardware Requirements64-bit Version of Aspen Basic Engineering Server

Starting from V7.3, Aspen Basic Engineering has a separate DVD containingthe 64-bit installation media. The 64-bit version includes a native 64-bitAspen Basic Engineering server as well as the 32-bit client applications. The64-bit Aspen Basic Engineering server is required by customers with verylarge workspaces and allows the server process to essentially growunlimitedly (up to 8000 GB) to address as much memory as is available onthe server machine. The 64-bit DVD can be used for server only or standardinstallations on 64-bit operating systems.

For 32-bit operating systems, use the standard aspenONE installation DVD.

Server HardwareResource Requirements

CPU 1 GHz minimum (2 to 3 GHz recommended).

The Aspen Basic Engineering Server combined with Oracledoes not perform well on a machine with less than a 1 GHzclock speed. (Oracle or SQL Server is required to run AspenBasic Engineering, see Software Requirements below.) Thereare two modes you can use:

Two-tier mode: (RDB Server and Aspen Basic EngineeringServer run on the same host). (Follow the RelationalDatabase (RDB) product guidelines for additional systemrequirements and add these to the overall Server systemrequirements if possible.) The RDB, especially Oracle,combined with the Aspen Basic Engineering Server will notperform well on a machine with less than a 1 GHz clockspeed. At least 2 GHz is recommended.

Three-tier mode: (the RDB exists on a separate PC). TheRDB does not greatly influence the middle tier hosting theAspen Basic Engineering Server other than some additionalmemory to operate its cache on the middle tier. You shoulduse a fast LAN connection between the Aspen Basic


Engineering Server and RDB Server Aspen Basic EngineeringV7.3 exploits multiple processor server hardware. Addingadditional processors can improve server response times.

Note: AZServer is extremely memory and CPU hungry werecommend using a modern, fast dedicated machine for theserver.

Physical Memory 2 GB RAM minimum (4 GB recommended)

Note: Large workspaces (for example,1000 equipmentitems) can occupy up to 2 GB of memory each. If the servermachine is being used for multiple large projects, it shouldhave enough physical memory for all workspaces as well asother processes. Rule of thumb:

Physical memory requirement = 2GB + nw x 2GB where nw= the maximum number of workspaces runningsimultaneously.

Hard Disk Space 2 GB (recommended)

DVD Drive

Software RequirementsComponent Additional Requirements

Microsoft SQL Server2000 or 2005 SP3 or2008 R2

-or-

Oracle 9i EnterpriseEdition Version 9.2

Oracle 10g StandardEdition Version 10.2

One of these Relational Databases is required to run AspenBasic Engineering V7.3 to operate as a transactioned backingstore (the contents of these cannot be designed to be queriedby the user). These products can be installed before or afterinstalling Aspen Basic Engineering. The RDB software can beinstalled either on the Aspen Basic Engineering Server hostmachine, or on a separate machine on the same local areanetwork.

For Oracle, you must install Oracle OLEDB Client on the AspenBasic Engineering Server host machine.

Important Note: Only a correct and corresponding Oracledriver/client should be used in conjunction with the Oracleserver.Never mix Oracle client/driver versions and server versionsSevere maloperation can result by mixing driver and RDBMSversions from different Oracle installations.

Microsoft Access(optional, not availableon 64-bit operatingsystems)

Note: Aspen Basic Engineering installations can be tested withMicrosoft Access, especially on a Standard install where theserver and client are installed on the same machine. It can beused for some customization work that can be doneindependently of the final deployment environment. MicrosoftAccess must not be used in the deployment of Aspen BasicEngineering onto engineering projects for reasons of datasecurity in a transactioned environment.
