IWeb 5.17.5 User Guide |
STC Application Interoperability
The new STC suite of applications provides greater functionality and
a seamless single sign-on (SSO). The interconnected products include:
Below, you can find information about the server,
hardware and deployment
requirements, application version dependencies, and
other software dependencies.

Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements for production and test environments are as
follows.
Production Environment
Below are the sample hardware requirements for production environments,
which are dependent on the number of applications installed and the provider
volume.
PROD - Services Server (SVC) |
PROD - OLAP Database /Batch Processing (DBB) |
PROD - Application Web Server (APP) |
4 CPU
16 GB Memory
100 GB Storage
Windows or Linux OS (64 bit)
High network I/O
High process count
Low disk utilization |
8 CPU 64 bit
32-64 GB Memory
Storage ** (1-10TB)
Windows or Linux OS (64 bit)
High disk I/O
Long running processes (batch)
Large disk utilization |
8 CPU
32 GB Memory
100 GB Storage
Windows or Linux OS (64 bit)
High network I/O
High memory utilization
Low process count
Low disk utilization |
**
NOTE: Specifications may vary based on number of
applications installed and provider volume. |
Test Environment
For states that currently have a testing environment, STC recommends
the addition of a separate testing environment to test the new products:
iQ, SMaRT AFIX, and the new VOMS. Of note:
- This environment should NOT coexist as an
onboarding environment for provider certification and onboarding activity
- Virtualized environments are fine for the
testing environment
- Separate hardware does not necessarily need
to be purchased to support this environment, since multiple testing
environments can coexist on the same physical/virtual environments
Below are the sample test environment requirements.
TEST - Services Server (SVC) |
TEST - OLAP Database /Batch Processing (DBB) |
TEST - Application Web Server (APP) |
4 CPU
8-16 GB Memory
100 GB Storage

Deployment Requirements
STC will provide detailed step-by-step instructions to ensure you have
what you need to install the new software.
Application Version Dependencies
The following lists the application version dependencies. Note that
SMaRT AFIX 1.16.9, VOMS 2.16.8, and iQ 1.16.8 are the first releases of
these applications.
- SMaRT AFIX
- SMaRT AFIX 1.16.9+ can only run with SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8 or
higher
- IWeb
- There are two different deployments of IWeb in the August 2016
(5.16.8) release - one is SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8 and the other
is not SSO-enabled
- There are a combination of deployment options:
- SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8 with VOMS module, version 5.16.5+
- Non-SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8 with the VOMS module, version
5.16.5+
- SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8 with the stand-alone VOMS application,
version 2.16.8+
- This gives states the option to install the August 2016 release
of IWeb without having to install the new VOMS (2.16.8+), along
with the option to install the SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8, which
is required if installing the new STC | iQ (1.16.8+)
- Please note that once the version of IWeb (5.16.8+) with the
new VOMS (2.16.8+) is installed, the current version of VOMS (5.16.5)
is no longer available
- Also note that the IWeb 5.17.5 release can be used without
needing to upgrade from legacy VOMS (VOMS 1.0) to VOMS 2.0. However,
it is strongly recommended that clients do upgrade to VOMS 2.0
with IWeb 5.17.5
- VOMS
- Currently, only Internet Explorer 11 is supported for VOMS.
- As of the release of VOMS 5.16.8, no more enhancements or fixes
will occur in the current VOMS code set
- The new VOMS 2.16.8 is available as of the August 2016 release
- The SSO-enabled IWeb 5.16.8+ is required to be installed to
run the new VOMS 2.16.8+
- The entire VOMS functionality is available in the new VOMS
2.16.8 as of the November 2016 release
- Please note that once the version of IWeb (5.16.8+) with the
new VOMS (2.16.8+) is installed, the current version of VOMS (5.16.5)
is no longer available
- Also note that IWeb 5.17.5 can be used with legacy VOMS (VOMS
1.0). However, it is strongly recommended that clients upgrade
to VOMS 2.0 with IWeb 5.17.5
- PHC-Hub
- PHC-Hub 4.16.8+ is required to run the new STC | iQ 1.16.8+
- STC | iQ
- iQ 1.16.8+ can only run with PHC-Hub 4.16.8+ and SSO-enabled IWeb
5.16.8+ or the SSO-enabled imMTRAX
Other Software Dependencies
- SMaRT AFIX
- SMaRT AFIX requires the Jaspersoft software application, which
is included in the application under the STC license
- The database is PostgreSQL
- There is a Tomcat dependency with regard to the Forecaster
and Java
- Tomcat 7 needs to be running on the application server for
Forecaster, and Java 8 is required
- IWeb
- IWeb uses an Oracle database
- Java must be at version 8
- Tomcat 7 must be running on the application server
- VOMS
- The new VOMS (2.16.8) runs on the current IWeb Oracle database
- VOMS requires the Jaspersoft application, which is included
in the application under the STC license
- PHC-Hub
- PHC-Hub uses an Oracle database
- Java must be at version 8
- Tomcat 7 must be running the application server
- STC | iQ
- STC | iQ (1.16.8+) requires the Jaspersoft application, which
is included in the application under the STC license
