5) A SQL authenticated account with SQL “sysadmin” group membership (permissions). In the past the
SA account was required, this requirement has been removed. However, the account must have SA
“sysadmin” privileges.
6) Validate at least 8Gb of RAM on the Host machine (Note: Testing on a Virtual Machine, many VMs
default to a 4Gb RAM environment, this will need to be increased prior to installation)
Proficy Plant Applications Report (Web Server) 1) Install Required Roles & Features
a. Microsoft IIS Version 8.0 or higher (depending on Operating System) – Installing IIS Roles &
Service Pre-Requisites
b. IIS DefaultAppPool needs to be set to enable 32-Bit applications
