System requirements
Operating system requirements
Parallels RAS Reporting can be installed on a server running one of the following Windows Server versions:
Windows Server 2022
Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2012 R2
.NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.5 or higher must be installed.
Microsoft SQL Server requirements
Parallels RAS Reporting can be used with the following Microsoft SQL Server versions:
Microsoft SQL Server 2022
Microsoft SQL Server 2019
Microsoft SQL Server 2017
Microsoft SQL Server 2016
Beginning with RAS 17.1, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and the SQL Server database engine can be deployed on separate hosts.
Using Microsoft SQL Server 2017 and 2019
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 and 2019 allow you to install the database engine and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) on different hosts. Parallels RAS 17.1 (and newer) supports this deployment scenario and gives you the ability to use SQL Server Reporting Services and the SQL Server database engine installed on separate hosts.
Installation locations
RAS Reporting must be installed on the same server where SQL Server Reporting Services are running. Please note that if you have SSRS and the database engine installed on different hosts, RAS Reporting must be installed where the SSRS are installed.
The following table contains RAS and SQL Server version compatibility information and locations where components necessary to use RAS Reporting can be installed:
| RAS Reporting version | SSRS version | SQL Server version | Installation locations |
|---|---|---|---|
19.0 | 2022 | 2022 | SSRS - same host as RAS Reporting SQL Server - can be a different host |
17.1, 18.0, 19.0 | 2019 | 2019 | SSRS - same host as RAS Reporting SQL Server - can be a different host |
17.1, 18.0, 19.0 | 2017 | 2019 | SSRS - same host as RAS Reporting SQL Server - can be a different host |
17.1, 18.0, 19.0 | 2017 | 2019 | SSRS - same host as RAS Reporting SQL Server - can be a different host |
17.1, 18.0, 19.0 | 2017 | 2017 | SSRS - same host as RAS Reporting SQL Server - can be a different host |
17.1, 18.0, 19.0 | 2017 | 2016 | SSRS - same host as RAS Reporting SQL Server - can be a different host |
Microsoft SQL Server must be installed as a named instance (not default or unnamed instance), because an instance must have a name for RAS Reporting to work. You can specify an instance name when you install Microsoft SQL Server (or when you create a new SQL Server instance in a multi-instance scenario). For complete details, please read the Install Microsoft SQL Server section that follows this one.
