Hi All, We are installing Bonita version 7.2.3, which will be integrated with our application - **PROS Pricing Solution Suite (PPSS).** I have a few questions regarding the compatibility. 1. **SQL Server version** – We are currently on MSSQL v2016, enterprise edition. Bonita v7.2.3 supports MS SQL v2012 R2. 2. **Tomcat** – The PPSS tomcat version is v8.5.23 and the requirement for Bonita is v7.0.67. 3. **Java** – We currently have Java 8 update 161 and Bonita requires Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment 8 u40. 4. **SQL UTF-8** – Our SQL DBA told us that SQL doesnt support UTF-8, however the Bonita requirement is that your database should be enabled to use UTF-8. If someone can help clarify the above questions, that would be great! Thanks in advance, Isha ---
