Software Requirements for HMS 6.7.3 – As at 1 June 2019
The HMS Client 6.7.3 requires a software environment consisting of one of the listed supported operating systems and a compatible runtime environment.
Operating System |
Windows |
Windows 2008 Server (32 and 64 bit), Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), Windows 2008 R2 Server, Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit), Windows 8.1 (32 and 64 bit), Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit) Windows 2012 Server Windows 2012 Server R2 Windows 2016 Server |
MacOS |
10.8,10.9,10.10, 10.11 |
|
Runtime Environment |
Java[1] |
1.8.0 |
[1] The HMS 6.7.3 Client installs its own copy of the Java Runtime Environment. This Java Runtime Environment can only be used by the HMS 6.7.3 Client itself and does not interfere with any existing Java installations (i.e. it neither uses nor modifies them).
These software environments are no longer supported by the operating system providers and therefore cannot be supported by HealthLink. Although it might be possible for the HealthLink client to run on these
operating systems, HealthLink WILL NOT be able to provide support if the service encounters problems while running on these OS versions.

Hardware Requirements for HMS Client 6.7.3 – As at 1 June 2019
The HMS Client provides two major areas of functionality:
- Transfer of standard messages (e.g. Referrals) via a file drop interface. This requires the HMS client in the same network or with access to a network location from the Reporting or Clinical System Server.
- HealthLink quantum web component services which include:
- Provision of web-services integration for message exchange with the Reporting or Clinical System Server.
- The online forms service which enables online form access to a web browser (embedded in an Reporting or Clinical System Server).
