System requirements and limitations
Compared to DocuWare version 7.8, there are the following changes:
System Requirements
Only for DocuWare Cloud
.NET 6 as a prerequisite for the Local Data Connector.
DocuWare Client Setup automatically installs the version when you install or update the Local Data Connector.
Only for on-premises
For new installations, Oracle databases are no longer supported.
For existing systems, version 7.9 is the last to support Oracle databases. For customers with Oracle database there will be a migration tool to switch to Microsoft SQL Server.
Limitations
Only for DocuWare Cloud
The timespan for which audit records can be retrieved has been set to a maximum of 93 days. The period itself can go back several years, for example from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021. The change was done to improve the handling of large amount of data.
The execution of scheduled Autoindex jobs will be delayed up to 5 minutes to avoid peaks and for better load balancing. Within an organization, the delay is the same for all Autoindex jobs to ensure that dependencies are not affected.
As usual, you can find the complete system requirements in the Knowledge Center.
