tuds-installation-prerequisites

Complete these items before you create a SQL Bridge or expect Mission Control features that read Vista SQL data. For the full cross-product view, see the Robonauts Setup Requirements Matrix.

Who should do this

  • Team captains and IT admins standing up a new TUDS team.
  • Anyone preparing the Windows host that will run SQL Bridge.

Required before setup

  1. Windows 10/11 (64-bit) host near SQL Server
    The SQL Bridge runs on a Windows machine that can reach your Vista SQL Server. See Windows Host Requirements.
  2. Outbound HTTPS to tuds.ai
    Required for the web app and for the SQL Bridge to validate and operate. See tuds.ai Connectivity.
  3. Vista SQL Server access from the bridge host
    Know the SQL Server host, port, database name, and login. See Vista SQL Access Overview.
  4. SQL credentials
    Create or confirm a SQL login the bridge will use. See Create SQL Account.
  5. Cloud SQL path (cloud customers only)
    TLS Database Endpoint or IPsec VPN must already be available so the bridge host can reach SQL. See Cloud SQL Connectivity.
  6. Team subscription / entitlement
    Captains activate the team plan in Team Billing after users are added. See Team Onboarding for Captains.
  7. Office public IP
    Needed when creating the SQL Bridge in Team Settings → Connectors.
  8. SQL Bridge package ready to install
    You will download the bridge installer and config from TUDS after creating the bridge. See SQL Bridge Customer FAQ.

Not required for TUDS

  • Microsoft Excel
  • SAP Crystal Reports runtime
  • .NET 8 / .NET Framework 4.8 (on end-user browsers)
  • Vista client on every user workstation (only the bridge host needs SQL reachability)

Ready checklist

  • Bridge host Windows machine identified
  • SQL Server host, database, and credentials known
  • Cloud TLS/VPN path confirmed (if cloud)
  • Office public IP known
  • Outbound HTTPS from bridge host confirmed
  • Captain can sign in to Mission Control

What to do next

  1. Getting Started with TUDS
  2. Team Onboarding for Captains (users → billing → bridge → Vista Configs sync)
  3. SQL Bridge Troubleshooting if the Wi‑Fi status icon stays unhealthy
