On-Prem Gateway - Safe on ERP Server?

Hi there

 

A client is running Sage. This is on a single server, that is running SQL Server.

Is it safe to install the on-prem gateway on this server?

 

Regards

Chris

Hi Amy

 

Thanks for you help, but unfortunately that does not answer my question.

 

To clarify, this is my question:

Is it regarded as "safe"/"best practice" to install the gateway on a "live"/"production" SQL Server box.

 

Many thanks!

 

Regards

Chris

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

To install the on premise data gateway, there are some points you need considerate:

 

Minimum requirements:

  • .NET Framework 4.6
  • 64-bit version of Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 (or later)

Recommended:

  • 8-core CPU
  • 8 GB of memory
  • 64-bit version of Windows Server 2012 R2 (or later)
  • Solid state drive (SSD) based storage for spooling

Related considerations:

  • The user installing the gateway is required to be the admin of the gateway.
  • The gateway can't be installed on a domain controller.
  • If you're planning to use Windows authentication, make sure you install the gateway on a computer that's a member of the same Active Directory environment as the data sources.
  • You shouldn't install a gateway on a computer, like a laptop, that might be turned off, asleep, or disconnected from the internet. The gateway can't run under any of those circumstances. Also, gateway performance might suffer over a wireless network.
  • You can install up to two on-premises data gateways on a single computer, one running in each mode (personal and standard). You can't have more than one gateway running in the same mode on the same computer.
