-Beginning with Bizweaver 2.5.8, HANA Client v2.4.167 must be installed on the Versago server.  You can download the installation package from https://portal.twbs.com. **This client is also used for Versago.** 
- 
-This application's installation process is slightly different from "normal," so please follow the instructions. 
- 
-  * Create a folder named "TWBS" in C:\Program Files if it does not exist. 
-  * Extract the HANA client installation package from the download .zip archive. 
-  * Place the HANA client installation in the C:\Program Files\TWBS folder.

-====== File System and SQL Server Access ====== 
- 
-===== Windows Services  ===== 
- 
-Bizweaver utilizes two Windows services. These are **Bizweaver Service** and, in SQL SAP Business One environments, **SAP Business One DI Server**. By default, both services use the “Local System” user. 
- 
-A domain user specifically defined for this purpose should always be used for these services.  Information about configuring this user is found **//[[https://wiki.twbs.com/doku.php/bw2/bizweaver_environment_requirements#bizweaver_user|here]]//**. 
- 
-===== File System ===== 
- 
-  * Log files are written to C:\ProgramData\Bizweaver. The application must have read & write access to this location. 
- 
-===== SQL Server ===== 
- 
-There are two points where a connection to SQL Server is used. 
- 
-  * First is in the core configuration described in this document. This is needed, at a minimum, to create the various database objects used by Bizweaver 
-  * Second is in the Global Configuration function. 
-  * Both points require the use of a user/password for login. **Windows authentication is not supported**. 
- 
-The SQL user needs full access (read, write, execute) for the following tables: 
- 
-  * Whatever database is designated in the installation process 
-  * VersagoData (or whatever database is designated for use with Versago Forms) 
-  * Any SAP Business One databases to be accessed 
- 
-=====Configure SQL Server for Web Service Calls====== 
-In many SQL environments, it is desirable to use the Bizweaver API to initiate a Bizweaver workflow.  A common example is when something occurs in SAP Business One. 
- 
-To support this type of processing, some configuration in SQL Server is required.  The configuration process is outlined **//[[bw2/SQLWS_Config|here]]//**.
