Supported environments for Desktop Petrosys PRO

Petrosys supports a wide range of computing environments. Mapping with Petrosys PRO is a natural way to bring together facts and ideas from a range of disciplines and data sources.

Petrosys PRO’s direct interfaces to many of the specialised applications used by EP professionals ensure that EP teams have better communication more quickly and with lower support and learning overheads than with older or more generic mapping systems.

Notes

  1. Windows XP (Service Pack 2+) and Windows Server 2003 were supported up to Petrosys PRO version 17.3. From version 17.4 these platforms are not supported.
  2. From Petrosys PRO version 2019.3 to 2020.2, Windows 8 is the minimum supported platform. From Petrosys PRO version 2021.1 Windows 10 is the minimum supported platform.
  3. Please note that Oracle only certify 11g R2 for RHEL6 and 12c Release 1 for RHEL7. It is strongly recommended you follow Oracle’s platform support guidelines when provisioning a database server on this platform. Note that for Petrosys to run on RHEL6, or above, when connecting to Oracle a number of system packages must be installed, particularly nss-pam-ldapd.
  4. The 64bit version of the Petrosys application is not supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Red Enterprise Linux 4 is not supported by the current Petrosys version (17.6). Use version 17.5 or earlier for RHEL4 support.
  5. Windows 11 support is provisional. Petrosys has conducted testing, however some thirdparty integrations may not be supported due to their vendor not supporting Windows 11
  6. Petrosys supports RHEL8 from version 2019.2 onwards.
  7. Petrosys ceased support for RHEL5 from PRO 2017.1 and for RHEL6 from PRO 2021.1
  8. Petrosys deprecated support for RHEL6 for PRO 2020.x . It is only available on special request and has reduced functionality. RHEL6 is unsupported from PRO 2021.1 onwards
  9. Oracle Linux in Red Hat compatibility mode is supported. Petrosys no longer recommends Centos as a RHEL compatible system due to the retraction of long term support of it by IBM.

Notes

  1. Petrosys running under Microsoft Windows requires a Petrosys ‘SSH’ communication protocol to be configured to access some OpenWorks/SeisWorks data on a Linux server . From version 17.7, Petrosys is able to natively access Openworks R5000.8+ on Windows.
  2. Petrosys recommends Oracle Database Server 18c (12.2.0.2) or higher. When running on Redhat Enterprise Linux or above you must ensure that all of Oracle’s system library dependencies are installed, particularly nss-pam-ldapd.
  3. For Oracle Server version 11.2.0.2, or higher, Petrosys recommends clients consider some known hardware compatibility issues on certain Oracle brand hardware due to a serious bug introduced by Oracle in 11.2.0.2 that breaks Spatial functionality. Refer Oracle Bug 11686843.
  4. For Oracle Server version 12.1.0.1 Petrosys requires patch set 18470311 & 18328186, or use version 12.1.0.2 or above. Note that as always new versions of Oracle should be tested in non-production environments to verify functionality before being rolled out to production servers.
  5. If the Auto SQL Server Express option in IHS Kingdom V8.5sp2 and higher is used for a project, it is only possible to connect to it while the project is open in IHS Kingdom.
  6. ‘Paradigm with Epos 4 Data Management’ was last supported in Petrosys version 17.5sp4 , ‘Paradigm 2011 to 2011.2 with Epos 4.1 Data Management’ were last supported in Petrosys version 17.7sp6.
  7. DUG Insight version 4.5 has not been tested explicitly. However, it is expected to work at the same level as version 4.
  8. Paradigm versions older than 15.5 are not supported on Windows 10 or at all from Petrosys PRO 2017.1
  9. ArcSDE server connection compatibility can be quite complex due to the wide variety of underlying database vendors and versions. Please check with Petrosys support before upgrading your ArcSDE version or database versions.
  10. Using Oracle 12 and later wallets is supported from version 17.8sp5 and later.
  11. For GeoGraphix, a 64bit ODBC driver for Sybase is required and it is only possible to connect to a project while it is open in GeoGraphix.
  12. ArcGIS Pro Add-In is not supported using FlexLM dongle licensing. Contact support.
  13. Paradigm versions 17,18,19 are not supported running Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 or above
  14. OpenWorks 10.7 is partially supported from PRO 2020.2.4. Use PRO 2023.2 or later for full support of all options.
