| Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 | Standard and Datacenter | Service Pack 1 | X64 |
SQL Server support
Service Manager is supported with the following versions of SQL Server:
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard, Datacenter
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Standard, Datacenter
SQL Server 2012 Enterprise, Standard (64-bit)
SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enterprise, Standard (64-bit)
SQL Server configuration
Use the following configuration with your version of SQL Server:
SQL Server full-text search: Full-text search must be selected during installation on the computers running SQL Server that will host the Service Manager and data warehouse databases.
SQL Server configured to use case-insensitive databases.
Service Account configured in accordance with your organization’s requirements.
The SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) service, configured and running. For more information about how to configure the MSSQLSERVER service, see How to: Verify a Reporting Services Installation.
Ensure that you use the same collation in SQL Server and Analysis Services on the computers that host the Service Manager database, the data warehouse database, and the analysis services database. For more information about SQL Server collations, see Using SQL Server Collations.
If your SQL Server installation is using the default collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS), a warning message appears, stating that the collation is not one of the supported collations for Service Manager and that an unsupported collation can cause unpredictable behavior in multilingual environments.
Warning
Support for languages other than English in Service Manager is not possible when you are using the collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. If later you decide to support multiple languages using a different collation, you have to reinstall SQL Server. There are no issues with using the SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS collation with the English-only installations of Service Manager. SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS is supported despite the warning message in setup. It is generally used for installations where the Service Manager databases will share a SQL Server instance with other System Center components which must be installed on SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, most notably Operations Manager. If Service Manager will be installed on its own SQL Server instance, it is recommended to use the newer and more complete collation Latin1_General_100_CP1_CI_AS. For more information about language support, see Support for languages in addition to English.
You can define the collation when you install SQL Server. During Setup, on the Server Configuration page, click the Collation tab, and then click Customize for both the Database Engine and Analysis Services entries.
Additional information
If you plan to install both Service Manager and Operations Manager 2007 in the same environment, see Operations Manager Considerations in System Center 2012 - Service Manager.
Service Manager does not operate and the services used by Service Manager do not start if Windows is running in safe mode. If you attempt to start the Service Manager services manually while in safe mode, the services fail to start and an error is written into the event log.

Support for languages in addition to English
It is assumed in this guide that you are installing System Center 2012 – Service Manager on a computer where no previous version of Service Manager is installed. For information about upgrading Service Manager, see the Upgrade Guide for Service Manager 2012 - System Center.
Including English, System Center 2012 – Service Manager supports a total of 21 languages. There are some search-related issues with six languages: Czech, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Polish, and Turkish. For more information about these issues, see the section "Search Issues" in this topic.
Setting your Windows locale on a computer that hosts a Service Manager console to one of the supported languages results in Service Manager being displayed in that language. In addition to the languages that Service Manager supports, you must also consider the ability to search and sort data in the Service Manager databases. The ability to search and sort data in a specific language is defined by the collation settings in Microsoft SQL Server.
The information in the following table represents the approved collations and the locale identifiers that were tested for Service Manager. In the list of collations in this table, “CI” indicates case-insensitive, and “AS” indicates accent-sensitive.
| Windows locale | Collation |
|---|---|
| English | Latin1_General_100_CI_AS |
| English | SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS |
| English | Latin1_General_CI_AS |
| Chinese_PRC | Chinese_Simplified_Pinyin_100_CI_AS |
| Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) | Chinese_Traditional_Stroke_Count_100_CI_AS |
| Czech (Czech Republic) | Czech_100_CI_AS |

Search issues
This section describes search issues, sort issues, and word-break issues with some of the languages that are supported in Service Manager.
Greek, Czech, and Finnish languages
For these languages, full-text search is not supported in SQL Server 2008. Therefore, sorting and searching activities in these languages do not function correctly.
Danish, Polish, and Turkish languages
Full-text search does not function in SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 R2 for these languages. You can load a licensed third-party word breaker that enables full-text search to function correctly. If you have Service Manager consoles using the Danish, Polish, or Turkish languages, regardless of the language collation that you have selected for your SQL Server installation, you have to install a third-party word breaker.
For more information, see the following links for the version of SQL Server that you are using:
Turkish language
None of the Turkish collations is supported in Service Manager. The Latin1_General_100_CI_AS collation was used for testing with the Turkish language. As a result, some search and sort operations in Service Manager will be affected for some Turkish characters.
Port assignments for firewalls
As part of your security infrastructure, you may want to keep track of port numbers that are used throughout your System Center 2012 – Service Manager environment. And while, in this release, these port numbers are not configurable, you can review the following table that lists port numbers that are used between the parts of Service Manager. You will want to ensure that these firewall ports are opened on computers that host Service Manager.
Port assignments
| Service Manager piece A | Port number and direction | Service Manager piece B |
|---|---|---|
| Service Manager console | 5724 ---> | Service Manager management server* |
| Service Manager console | 5724 ---> | Data warehouse management server |
