In this section you will find the technical requirements for starting up the modules Portal and Tax Data Hub. You will find specific instructions for the installation in the Initial Installation.

System architecture

The system architecture is based on a three-tier architecture:

  1. Client (web browser)

  2. Business logic (Web Application Server)

  3. Data (Database Server)

Excerpt

If fail-safe operation is desired, the business logic layer can be operated in a load balancer, the availability of individual server applications (health check) can be monitored and, if necessary, a database cluster can be used.

  • Authorisation to "CREATE", "INSERT", "UPDATE", "DELETE", "ALTER" on the database, for Oracle: CONNECT + RESOURCE authorisation.

  • We recommend at least 50 GB as hard disk size

Performance

Should the execution of individual functions take a long time with one browser or be unusable, please try another browser. Due to the large number of browsers, AMANA is not able to take into account every special behaviour in all browsers. However, please feel free to report any anomalies to the GlobalTaxCenter hotline. We will try to resolve the problem.
