MS SQL Server requirements

A VM or physical machine with 2 cores or more, 4GB RAM or more, an OS >Windows 2008R2 (not necessarily the server type), and 32 or 64 bits.
The installation must be performed with an administrator profile on this machine.
A Microsoft native ODBC driver for MS SQL Server with a 32-bit version must be installed.
Requirements to capture an MS SQL Server source:
- Express version is not supported.
- The transactional replication component needs to be installed.
  To test the installation of the component, enter the following command:
  
  EXEC sp_MS_replication_installed
  
  If the component is installed, the answer is: Command(s) completed successfully.
  
  Tables to replicate must have a Primary Key (Microsoft constraint).
- You need to install on the VM or physical machine the SQL Server 32-bit client (ODBC 32-bit Native client driver). During the installation, the system MS SQL Server password (sysadmin right) is needed.
