System Requirements
The middleware component (Enterprise Connector) can be deployed on-premise, in a private cloud or as a fully managed service from VersaFile.
When deploying on premise or in a private cloud environment, physical or virtual hardware is supported. The following server resources are the minimum requirements:
Operating Systems | CPU | Disk Space | RAM | SAPJco |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 | Minimum 2 cores or 2 physical CPUs with at least 2.0Ghz | 40 GB | 16 GB | 3.1 and above (JCo 3.1 requires the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015-2022 C/C++ runtime libraries ) |
When deploying on premise or in a private cloud environment, physical or virtual hardware is supported. The following server resources are the recommended requirements:
Operating Systems | CPU | Disk Space | RAM | SAPJco |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Windows Server 2019, 2022 | Minimum 4 cores or 2 physical CPUs with at least 2.0Ghz | 128 GB | 64 GB | 3.1 and above (JCo 3.1 requires the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015-2022 C/C++ runtime libraries ) |
Production/Non Production Environments
SAP typically follows a 3-tier landscape:
- Development (DEV)
- Quality Assurance (QUAL)
- Production (PROD)
Albeit docuflow supports a 1 middleware to <n> SAP connection, it is recommended to have 1 middleware environment (separate windows machine/VM) for each SAP system ie: most common is 3 separate windows machines/VM's.
a. Development - can be minimum server requirement specs if desired
b. We recomend QUAL be identical to production (recomended requirement specs).
Reasons why you may choose to share the DEV and QUAL SAP connections to a single non-production midldeware server instance:
- low volume and load
- no migration testing
- little or no concurrent "inbound to SAP" processing where you might want some event to go up to both DEV and QUAL SAP at the same time
Enterprise Connector Middleware Service
The docuflow middleware service requires Read/Write permission to the docuflow installation root directory and sub-directories. This can be accomplished via two methods based on your server configuration:
- Running as local host
- A specified service account where local host does not have Read/Write permissions.
SAP Firewall Access
The Content server application communicates via HTTP/HTTPS and can be configured to use any port number.
- The docuflow Content Server application communicates via HTTP/HTTPS and can be configured to use any port number (ex: 8085) (Inbound to middleware and Outbound from SAP. Refer to organizations internal IT security and project team on which IP address to allow).
- Note that each SAP repository (Z1, Z2, etc) requires its own set of ports, for example:
- Z1
- 1 unique port for HTTP eg: 8085
- 1 unique port for HTTPS eg: 8086
- Z2
- 1 unique port for HTTP eg: 8087
- 1 unique prt for HTTPS eg: 8088
The docuflow ECM application communicates via SAP JCo over the following ports:
- Gateway Port: The port number used to communicate with the gateway. Typically 33## with the ##’s being the system number (ex: 3300) (Inbound to sap)
- Message Server Host (if applicable): The port number used to communicate with the gateway. Typically 36## with the ##’s being the system number (ex: 3600) (Inbound to sap. Refer to organizations internal IT security and project team on which IP address to allow)
Confirm with your SAP Basis team for the values specific to your SAP installation.
URL and Firewall Configuration for Box API Access
Access to the following URLs is required from the server:
Base url:https://api.box.com/2.0/ Base upload url:https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/ Token url:https://api.box.com/oauth2/token
Source: the IP of the docuflow server
Port: https is 443
Protocol: https
This provides the basic functionality that doucflow requires for its processing. It is strongly recommended however that you review the Box link below to ensure you have all the appropriate access for your particular environment and usage requirements above and beyond doucflow:

Box also provides a connectivity test page as well as documented firewall configuration if necessary:
