Supported database management systems
Bravura Security Fabric 12.8.0 works with any of the following database management systems:
Microsoft SQL Server 2022
Microsoft SQL Server 2019
Microsoft SQL Server 2017
Microsoft SQL Server 2016 SP2
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these databases will work.
The Compatibility level on the Microsoft SQL Server database must be set to a minimum value of SQL Server 2014 (120) . See Microsoft documentation for more on configuring compatibility levels.
If you install SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) to use the Analytics app ensure the server is not a Domain Controller.
Caution
Express editions should only be used for evaluation purposes. Bravura Security strongly recommends that, whenever possible, you use an enterprise or standard edition rather than the express database edition. Bravura Security does not provide support for product issues resulting from clients upgrading their database edition.
Database I/O performance on a virtualized file system; for example, VMDK or equivalent, is slow. If the database server software runs on a VM, please use a fast, nearby NAS or SAN to store the data files.
Clustered backend databases can lose data during or after cluster failover. Bravura Security recommends using Bravura Security Fabric ’s application-level replication rather than clustered databases whenever possible. If your company policy requires clustered databases, have database cluster nodes available as close as possible on the network to the Bravura Security Fabric nodes to target directly. See Installing with a shared schema for setting up the Bravura Security Fabric nodes in shared schema.
