The processing speed (performance) of the application depends largely on the hardware of the servers used. The application processes many and sometimes very large XML files, which makes it necessary to equip the system with sufficient working memory. The specific requirements depend on the amount of data to be processed, so an estimate is made based on the following parameters:
- Number of reporting institutes: 50
- Number of XBRL reports per institute per year: 50 (incl. rejected and test registrations)
- Number of users: 25
- Number of concurrent XBRL processings: 4
The database and the application server (IIS) can be operated on separate servers. The following system requirements assume parallel operation on one server.
- Operating System Server Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 for ASP IIS Hosting.
- Hardware Specifications
- Working memory: At least 32 GB
- For Processing of XBRL Instance Documents instances larger then 100 MB file size, 64 GB is recommended
- Processor: Multi-core processor with at least 4 cores
- SSD recommended
- Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2012
- Memory: Approx. 15 GB per year
- SSD recommended
The use of virtual servers is possible in principle, but can be accompanied by performance losses (scenario: CPU is used intensively by another machine).
The user interface of the XBRL portal is a browser. Compatible browser versions are:
- MS Internet Explorer Version 11 or higher
- Mozilla Firefox
- Google Chrome
Evaluations are available in MS Excel (from 2007).
