To use e-Business 7.2, an organization needs to install the Aptify e-Business 7.2 website on a web server on your network (outside the firewall to access from anywhere on the Internet or inside the firewall if you only want to support access over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection).
This section describes the hardware and software requirements for the server that will host the e-Business 7.2 website and the database server configurations needed for e-Business 7.2.
Note that the e-Business 7.2 web server will typically be a different server than the one that hosts the Aptify database. This is the recommended approach.
The server requirements for the e-Business 7.2 interface are described in the following topics:
Web Server Hardware Requirements
At a minimum, a system that can run Windows Server 2016 and IIS 8.5 can function as an e-Business 7.2 web server. However, Aptify recommends that an organization uses a system with at least the following specifications to host the e-Business 7.2 website:
Minimum Hardware Requirements
- 8 GB RAM
- 2 vCPUs
- Two (2)300 GB Disk Drives configured
Mid-Point Hardware Requirements
- 12 GB RAM
- 4 vCPUs
High-End Hardware Requirements
- 16 GB RAM
- 8 vCPUs
Web Server Software Requirements
The following is a list of software requirements for a computer that will host e-Business 7.2:
-
The following operating systems are supported for the e-Business 7.2 interface:
Version: e-Business 7.2- Microsoft Windows Server 2016
- Microsoft Windows Server 2019
- Microsoft Windows Server 2022
-
Microsoft IIS 8.5 or higher with ASP.NET 4.0.30319 (or higher)
Note concerning IIS configurations
When a feature in the list below shows child features, only those features are required for installation. When a feature does not list any child features, all of the child features are recommended for installation.
-

To manually confirm that ASP.NET 4.0.30319 is available on the computer, follow these steps:
- Open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (from Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools).
- Select the Application Pools List from the console tree.
- Right-click on one of the application pools (for example, the DefaultAppPool) and select the Basic Settings option.
-
On the Edit Application Pool dialog, confirm that 4.0.30319 appears in the .NET Framework version drop-down list.
