Performance and capacitiy limit (DB-related)

[YunaLee]

I have a DB-related question.

First of all, Is there a document that clearly states which databases can install a Blue Prism server?

Second of all, in the case of MS SQL Express, the document stated that there is a limitation of features in the free version.

Is there any evidence of any functional limitations to using it in a blue prism environment?

In the 5 RR environment configuration examples as shown below, the constraints are only guided as follows.

It is difficult to guide customers because it is not known exactly what the restrictions are.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Yuna Lee - MS SQL Server Express, Oracle, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2 are few Databases where Blueprism can be installed, also regarding the limitations of Free MS SQL Server Express - Maximum DB size is of 10GB, limited CPU and memory usage are some key limitations.

For more on this refer to the Microsoft documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-2022?view=sql-server-ver16

Scale limits:

Feature	Enterprise	Standard	Web	Express with Advanced Services	Express
Maximum compute capacity used by a single instance - SQL Server Database Engine1	Operating system maximum	Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 24 cores	Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 16 cores	Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores	Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores
Maximum compute capacity used by a single instance - Analysis Services or Reporting Services	Operating system maximum	Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 24 cores	Limited to lesser of 4 sockets or 16 cores	Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores	Limited to lesser of 1 socket or 4 cores

Hi, Mukesh,

are you sure that you can install Blue Prism on Oracle and IBM DB2? I am not aware of it and I doubt it but you might have some information which I missed. As far as I know only MS SQL is supported.

Thanks for clarification.

Zdenek

Apologies- I might have got it wrong in confusing Connecting and Installing - we can definitely connect with Oracle DB via OLEDB for DB operations but for installation No Database IBM DB2 and Oracle are not supported.

Thanks for pointing it out.
