Hi

I consider to separate DB (Oracle) and BaaN IV application on two servers.
I consider to do that on two domain Sun machine. Is it possible?
Has anyone experience with such solution?
Now I have DB and BaaN on one server.
Is 2-tier solution on two domain machine slower than 1-tier one?

If you have access to the support website you can look at the quick guide in solution 165479

Dave

for separating to 2 server.

b)
solution is slower than 1-tier, if you have 2 machines with same power.

i always would prefer to stay on one machine, f.i. you
should think about fast linux-box (baan4, baan5)

Hi

Thank you for answers.

The reason for a such change is to save some money on Oracle licenses.
No I've got SF3800 machine with 8 SPARC III Cu 900 MHz processors with Oracle and BaaN.
I need to pay for 8 processor licenses.
So I consider to exchange this machine for a new two domain machine with 6 SPARC III 1,2 GHz processors in one domain (Oracle) and second domain with
2 or 4 processors for BaaN application.

I wonder if this configuration could be much slower than current one.
Has anybody any experience in a such exchange ?

Please notice that in second configuration processors are faster and these two domains exist on the same box.

Actually Baan considers a host-mode setup (Baan and DB on same server) as a two-tier architecture and a client-mode setup (baan and DB on different servers) as three-tier. This is because they count the GUI as a display tier and it sounds better in the news!!


Anyway! If you go away from host mode, then you will most likely experience a slowdown in your job times, because of the network connection involved. This might be up to around 30% slowdown.

Naturally your interactive session will have a similar slowdown, but users might not notice!

If your job run more than fast enough during the nights, then you might give it a try!
