Prerequisites and compatibility

Prerequisite

Vigilens Station

  • Processor :mini 2 GHz (2 processors)
  • RAM : mini 8 GHz
  • Disk : 250 Go
  • If it doesn't already exist, create a shared directory accessible in reading and write mode by all Vigilens users. This directory can be located on the target machine as well as on any other machine. It should however be kept in mind that the use of Vigilens requires regular access to this directory. It is therefore advisable to use a directory on a machine with fast access.
  • Install the 32 bits ODBC driver for each type of database you wish to access from Vigilens. For Oracle databases, the installation of the OCI component (32 bits) is enough.
  • For each database to which Vigilens will have to connect, provide a database account with enough permissions to see the content of the system schema.

Vigilens Web Server

The prerequisites for a Vigilens workstation also apply to a Vigilens Web server.

In addition to this, you need :

  • Open access to port 10000 (port used by default by web server provided by Vigilens) or, if you prefer to use another port, open access to this port.
  • Provide a Windows account (with access rights to the shared directory) that will be used to run the service associated with the Vigilens Web component.
  • Install Microsoft Excel on the Web server if you want to make Excel type restitutions (For office documents 2003 or 2007 with macro to be executed) from the Web interface

The installation of the Vigilens Web part integrates the following software:

  • Python 3.4 (This is a copy available only for the Vigilens application. So if you are already using a Python environment, there will be no conflict)
  • Postgresql 10 (A new instance specific to Vigilens is installed for the website own data)

The new website uses the CherryPy server available in python to handle HTTP requests. It is possible to configure this web server using the application WebConfig.

Compatibility
