Not supported.

Remarque : MOVEit Transfer no longer supports MS SQL Server 2012, 2008R2 and 2008. MOVEit Transfer expects one of the database versions listed in the database platform table.

Remarque : It is best practice to run the MOVEit Transfer Server and the database it connects to in the same time zone. Otherwise, security features like multi-factor authentication for sign-on as well as secure connection protocols used between the services will not function.

Schema Support

MOVEit Transfer server schema supports English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, and Japanese.

Verify Your .NET Runtime Library Version (Used for SQL Server)

.NET 4.6.2 (or later) must be installed on the machine where SQL Server runs. If you are running SQL Server on a different host system than MOVEit Transfer, you will need to verify this and if necessary upgrade.

MOVEit Transfer loads stored procedures in the SQL database for better performance and simpler database access. Some methods called by these procedures require the .NET common language runtime (CLR). For these requirements, CLR integration is automatically enabled as part of the MOVEit Transfer installation.

Remarque : For remote SQL Server installations, you should verify the .NET version. For remote SQL Server installations (which is the typical deployment pattern for SQL Server) the MOVEit Transfer installer expects that you already verified this requirement.

Large Scale MOVEit Transfer Systems Using MS SQL Server

If you deploy MOVEit Transfer to use MS SQL Server, it is best practice to run TempDB on storage that performs well. Since version 8.2, MOVEit Transfer uses Read Committed Snapshot Isolation (RCSI) to mitigate latency and concurrency issues that might be realized in large installations (millions of files). For more details, see the Administrator Guide.
