# System Requirements

Oracle Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes an IDOL Server and an interface for the information stored in IDOL Server. To maximize performance, Micro Focus recommends that you install IDOL Server and the connector on different machines.

The connector can be installed on any computer provided it can communicate with the database server.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run IDOL components, including Oracle Connector, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

## Prerequisites

To retrieve information from an Oracle database, you must install Oracle Client version 19 on the connector machine.
