Software requirements
The flows runtime is provided as a Linux Docker container or as a Windows service installer.
Both community (CE) and enterprise (EE) editions of Docker are supported. The flow runtime software runs on top of .NET 6 (included in the Docker container and the Windows service installer).
Network access
For connecting your flow runtime to your Flow manager instance, access https://connect.aveva.com/ via port 443 (HTTPS).
In case you run your Flow manager instance on premises, adjust the URL to fit your setup.
