Hardware and Software Requirements
Hardware
MaineStreet (PeopleSoft) applications are very powerful. Oracle/PeopleSoft recommends the following end user workstation hardware:
- 256 MB RAM recommended (32 MB RAM minimum)
- 800 MHz Pentium or equivalent processor recommended (Pentium 133 MHz minimum)
It is recommended that power users (those employees who may require three browsers in action simultaneously [e.g., two for transactions, one for process monitor]) have a system with 256 MB RAM. A minimum of 48 MB RAM is required for all power user applications.
A user who needs access to self-service functions only can confidently work with MaineStreet (PeopleSoft) using the minimum hardware recommendations.
Software
Because this system is web-based, no PeopleSoft software resides on an end user's workstation. An efficient web browser, however, is essential.
The following combinations of web browser and client operating systems are recommended by Oracle/PeopleSoft:
- Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 98, NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP
- Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 on NT 4, Windows 98, and Windows 2000
- Netscape Navigator 7 on NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, Mac OS9, and Mac OS X
- Firefox 1.0 on Mac OS X, Windows NT 4, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux, and UNIX
- Mozilla 1.7 on Linux, Mac OS X, and UNIX
