ARKSSPR environment requires a supported SQL Server version and configuration to host the ARKSSPR database.

SQL Server can be located on:

  • ARKSSPR server computer,

  • A computer that is remote from the site server.

The following instances are supported:

  • The default or named instance of SQL Server,

  • A SQL Server Always On failover cluster instance,

  • A SQL Server Always On Availability Group.

Supported versions of SQL Server

In a hierarchy, Internal ARKSSPR server access the SQL Server database:

  • The SQL Server versions you use remain in support by Microsoft.

  • For SQL Server 2016 and prior, support for each SQL Server version and service pack follows the . Support for a specific SQL Server service pack includes cumulative updates unless they break backward compatibility to the base service pack version

SQL Server 2019: Standard, Enterprise or Express. You can use this version with cumulative update 5 (CU5) or later, as long as your cumulative update version is supported by the SQL Server lifecycle. CU5 is the minimum requirement for SQL Server 2019 as it resolves an issue with scalar UDF inlining.

SQL Server 2017: Standard, Enterprise or Express. You can use this version with cumulative update version 2 or higher, as long as your cumulative update version is supported by the SQL Server lifecycle.

SQL Server 2016: Standard, Enterprise or Express. You can use this version with the minimum service pack and cumulative update supported by the SQL Server lifecycle.

SQL Server 2014: Standard, Enterprise or Express. You can use this version with the minimum service pack and cumulative update supported by the SQL Server lifecycle.

SQL Server architecture version

Configuration Manager requires a 64-bit version of SQL Server to host the site database.

Database collation

SQL Server that's used for the database must use the following collation: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.

Database compatibility level

The following table identifies the recommended compatibility levels for Configuration Manager site databases:
