1 Requirements for Installing Digizuite™ DAM Center - DAM v4.7.0/v4.7.1

The Digizuite DAM Center installer requires that there are no other Digizuite products installed on the server before starting the installation process.

• A Windows 2012 R2 Server (4.7.1 additionally supports Windows 2016 Server)

• Access to the server with administrative rights

• Minimum 500 MB hard disk space
  
  

• ASP.NET 4.6.2 framework or higher.

• Run windows update on the machine to ensure everything is up to date.

• A Windows 2012 R2 Server (4.7.1 additionally supports Windows 2016 Server)

• Minimum 4 GB RAM

• Minimum 16 GB hard disk space

• Access to the SQL server with administrative rights (usually sa user)
  
  

• A Microsoft SQL Server 2014, or a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (Must not be an Express Edition)

• The SQL server must have the following:
  
  

  • Default + full-text service 

  • Security model integrated (Windows) and SQL Server 

  • TCP/IP enabled 

    Ensure that Server authentication is set to "SQL and Windows authentication on the SQL server"
    

• A Windows 2012 R2 Server or a Windows 2016 Server

• Shared UNC / CIFS storage area (Without this, the batch server will not be able to access the backend files)

• Minimum 16 GB hard disk space

• Minimum 7 GB RAM memory

• Typically you place this on the web server, if you do not have a dedicated storage area already. It's imperative that you share this folder as defined in step 1.6.

• Best practice is to place the folder directly on the drive (e.g. C:, D: and so on) and name it "Storage"
  
  

• A Windows 2012 R2 Server or a Windows 2016 Server

• Access to the server with administrative rights

• Minimum 16 GB hard disk space

• ASP.NET 4.6.2 framework

We will make an effort to ensure compatibility with modern browser behavior, but can only guarantee full support for the following browsers and versions:

• Windows

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (11.1198.14393.0)

  • Mozilla Firefox (53.0.2)

  • Google Chrome (58.0.3029.110 (64-bit))

• Mac OS

  • Google Chrome (58.0.3029.110 (64-bit))

• For the Digizuite™ DAM Center to function correctly, you need to create two users: "assetstream" and "digibatch". Both users' passwords must never expire.

• It is recommended to create them as domain users, however this is not a necessity. If you do not create a them as domain users, you have to create the users with the same passwords across all servers.

• Their usernames must not include characters that break XML syntax (i.e. ",',<,>,&).

• In step 1.3 you've created a folder that you'll use for storage. This folder you give the digibatch user complete read/write access to, and the assetstream user you only give complete read access to (you will need to extend the assetstream user rights later in the process - ref. the next point).

• After the installation, you have to go back to this folder, and give the assetstream user write access to the following folders:

  • ...\DMM\Upload

  • ...\DMM\FtpUpload

• After this you must add the following groups to the digibatch user:
  
  

  • Administrators (Without it the installer may very likely fail)

  • Performance Monitor Users (Without it the installer will not fail, but certain asset conversion jobs will)

  • (Optional) Remote Desktop Users (so you can login with the digibatch user)
    
    
    

To perform the Digizuite™ DAM Center installation you need to have defined and created the necessary DNS records:

• Example: dc.mycompany.com
