The Xima® Formcycle Server is a Java web application run on a Java web container or application server.

Software

The following software is required for a Xima® Formcycle Server.

• Oracle Java JDK, version 1.8.x or higher (OpenJDK is not supported.)
• Note: Support for Java SE 8 (LTS) is scheduled to be dropped in Xima® Formcycle release 6.2.
• Apache Tomcat 8 or JBoss
• Other applications server are possible, but are not officially supported.

Database

One of the following database management systems must be installed.

• MySQL, version 5.1 or higher (currently until the last version of 5, because of changing the system specific names in version 8)
• MS SQL, version 2008 R2 or higher
• Oracle, Version 11 or higher
• PostgreSQL, version 9.1 or higher

Browser (administration interface)

These requirements exists only for the administration interface of Xima® Formcycle, not for opening and filling out forms.

• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox 3.6, or higher
• Google Chrome 13 or higher

Currently, we recommend Mozilla Firefox.

Hardware

Hardware requirements may differ depending on how Xima® Formcycle is used, eg. how many forms have to be processed each day.

Consider the following requirement on the system:

• 1 client
• 40 forms
• 1000 form submissions daily
• 1000 state transitions daily 
• 500 files created by action, eg PDF or Word files
• 10 simultaneously registered users processing submitted forms

This will require the following hardware:

• Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) or Linux (64-bit)
• 2 x QuadCore processors @ 2,8 GHz
• 8 GB RAM (4 GB for the application server)
• 10 GB disc space for XIMA® FORMCYCLE

Database(s) are kept on a separate server.
