Software requirements for the web server

macOS is not supported as operating system for the SAP Signavio Process Manager web server.

  • Operating system:
    • Debian Stable Release 64-bit
    • Microsoft Windows 64-bit

  • Java 8 (64-bit), we recommend to use AdoptOpenJDK Version 8 (LTS), with Hotspot selected as the JVM.

    Pay attention to the version number. SAP Signavio Process Manager does not yet support Java 11.

  • Apache Tomcat 8.5.x

64-bit is required so that the Java VM is able to address more than 1.5 GB of heap space.

If you have purchased SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub and want to use Kerberos authentication for single-sign-on, make sure the web server connecting to your Active Directory is running on Microsoft Windows 64-bit.

Software requirements for the database server

macOS is not supported as operating system for the SAP Signavio Process Manager database server.

Operating system:

  • Debian Stable Release 64-bit
  • Microsoft Windows 64-bit

Database:

MySQL Standard Edition 5.7.x (InnoDB Storage Engine), MySQL Enterprise Edition 5.7.x (InnoDB Storage Engine), or MySQL Community Edition 5.x (InnoDB Storage Engine)

SAP Signavio Process Manager does not yet support MySQL 8.x.

We recommend to also install the MySQL Workbench. The administration of the MySQL server is much easier with it.

SAP Signavio Process Governance has to be installed on a separate server.
