Basic Intranet Layout Overview

When installing TimeKeeper and iBrowse, the Intranet configuration can be used. The 

following diagram shows the Intranet configuration, using two servers (recommended), 

though only one server can be used for both TKSQL and iBrowse.

After setting up the network for the Synerion Systems applications, a sketch should be made 

for future reference, similar to the following:

Server Requirements for SQL Express

NOTE: MS‐SQL Server 2008 Express and MS‐SQL Server 2008 R2 Express platforms are not intended for 

companies with more than 1,500 employees.

Functional Limitations

The MS‐SQL Server 2008 Express and MS‐SQL Server 2008 R2 Express platforms are not

designed for more than two concurrent TKSQL users. Therefore, if additional future users

are required, it will not be possible on the Express versions and a standard MS‐SQL Server

version will be required.

IBrowse is not supported on the MS‐SQL Server 2008 Express and MS‐SQL Server 2008 R2

Express  platforms;  therefore  Employee  Self  Service  and/or  Manager  Self  Service

functionality  (i.e.  updating  and  correcting  Time &  Attendance,  TimeCosting,  vacation

requests, and reports) will not be available.

MS‐SQL Server 2008 Express and MS‐SQL Server 2008 R2 Express do not support OLAP,

and  therefore  both  Timekeeper  Analytics  and  TimeKeeper‐BI  (OLAP  Cubes)  are  not

supported on the Express platforms.

MS‐SQL Server 2008 Express (64‐bit) and MS‐SQL Server 2008 R2 Express (64‐bit) do not

support the conversion process from TK2000 to TKSQL.

Additional Factors

The technical aspects of these platforms are as follows:

B: Server Requirements for SQL Express 9

Page 12: Minimum Recommended System Requirements - סינריון · ... work correctly for a Visual Basic application that ... (right-to-left) alignment does not work correctly for a Visual

Additional Factors 

Note the following:

The database size limits the amount of Time and Attendance historical data that can be

maintained on  the  server and will  require an SQL archiving  solution on behalf of  the

customer’s IT department.

The RAM size is relevant even in environments where the server's memory is larger. This

limitation might affect system performance, such as calculations and payroll exports.

Since both platforms utilize only one processor (i.e. even if the server has more than one

processor),  certain  services  that  are  able  to  perform  faster  (i.e.  run  concurrently  by

utilizing multiple processors) will be limited to successive/serial work mode only.

MS‐SQL Server 2008 Express and MS‐SQL Server 2008 R2 Express do not have a Profiler.

This might extend the resolution time of SQL‐related support problems.
