What are the prerequisites for installing TopTeam Application Server?

Database Requirements:

Refer to the article Database Requirements for TopTeam Repository.

If database server (SQL Server/ Oracle/ Firebird) is on another computer, ensure that it is accessible from the computer on which you want to install TopTeam Application Server.

Security Settings:

  • TopTeam Application Server should have read and write access on its installation folder.
  • TopTeam Application Server should have read and write access on the User Data Files Folder on the same or another computer.
  • If TopTeam Application Server for Embedded Database is used, ensure that TopTeam Application Server has read and write access on the TopTeam Database Files Folder.
  • When TopTeam Application Server is installed as a Windows Service, ensure that the above security privileges are available to the credentials under which TopTeam Application Server Service is running.

Firewall Settings:

1. TopTeam Application Server and its utility services need to access and/or listen on specific TCP/IP ports so that they can function properly.

2. Any firewall on this computer or on the network should not block the following TCP/IP ports for proper working of TopTeam Application Server:

2.1. TopTeam Application Server listens on a specific TCP/IP port for incoming client requests/connections. By default, this TCP/IP port is 7100. However, you can change this as per your needs. Ensure that the firewall allows incoming and outgoing network traffic on the port on which TopTeam Application Server is listening. If you want the users to be able to access TopTeam Application Server from outside the network, you need to open the required port on your network firewall.

2.2. TopTeam Application Server and its utility services need to access TopTeam repository installed on database servers. The Database Engine listens on a specific port as per the database used. Ensure that the firewall allows network traffic on this database port.

  • Firebird Database: 3050 (by default)
  • Microsoft SQL Server: 1433 (by default)
  • Oracle Database Server: 1521 (by default)

3. Contact your Database Administrator for the exact port number for your database engine.

  • Email services of TopTeam Application Server require SMTP and POP3/IMAP access to your corporate email server to process email discussions, notifications, etc. These services are however, optional. If you want to configure them, ensure that the email sever is accessible from the computer on which TopTeam Application Server will be installed. For more details, refer to the article How to configure email services using TopTeam Application Server Service Management Console.
