Operating Environment

This manual is in pilot operation.

Overview

Platform Software

  • Supported on Windows family operating systems. The 64-bit version of Windows is the standard, but when operating in a web server-based environment, client PCs can use the 32-bit version (except for standard).

  • For the server machine when operating in a web server-based environment, and for standalone use, Java (Java Runtime Environment) is required as the execution platform. For client PCs in a web server-based environment, Java is basically not required (see "Details" below).

  • A web browser and Excel are required on client machines (Excel is only required for client machines using [Excel-Link]). In addition, fusion_place Runtime Environment (FRE) must be installed. FRE can usually be installed without administrator privileges and is updated on a longer cycle than the fusion_place main program.
    The fusion_place main program is automatically downloaded/updated from the server by FRE.

  • Platform software supported by fusion_place must be products/versions supported for general users by their original developer/provider. If the support period for the product/version by the developer/provider ends, please note that, regardless of other statements in this manual, fusion_place will also discontinue support.

Required Hardware Specifications

  • If the number of ledger data records does not exceed approximately 200,000[1], then for both server and client machines, a typical computer with around 4GB of memory is generally sufficient.

  • fusion_place loads all ledger data records into memory, so required memory depends on the number of data records. If the number of ledger data records exceeds about 200,000, please estimate the memory capacity of the server machine (or standalone machine) using the Memory and Disk Capacity Estimation Guidelines.

  1. Using this product with versions of Java whose support period by Oracle or OpenJDK vendors has ended, or with versions of Windows, Excel, etc. whose support period by Microsoft has ended, entails security risks. Please use this product with the understanding that our support does not imply a reduction in such security risks.

  2. Due to Java issues, there may be cases where fusion_place does not operate even in the environments listed in the table. In such cases, you may be asked to switch to a different Java update version.


1. For management applications that handle aggregated data, 200,000 is a significantly large number. For example, with 100 departments, 100 accounts, and both budget and actual for three years, the maximum number of records is 60,000 (100 × 100 × 2 × 3). In practice, the actual combinations with data are usually far fewer.
2. If you run Windows on a virtual environment and the version matches those in this table, it is considered a supported environment. However, if issues in the virtual environment cannot be reproduced in a non-virtual environment, investigation and handling of such issues will be the customer’s responsibility.
6. The data count refers to the number of actual data combinations present in the ledger (excluding aggregation members). Please count combinations without including relative period dimensions and view format dimensions. Add together the record count for the working edition and published edition (for the working edition, count only records that are changed during editing). The memory requirement here assumes a minimum period count per fiscal year of 12.
