Fellow Archivers,

Does anyone know if it is necessary to have your Baan archive company on the same server? I know it is necessary to have the archive company on the same VRC, but what about the same server?

If it is not necessary, what would be the implications of putting your archive company on a different server? Has anybody tried this? We are evaluating this strategy to reduce IT maintenance costs. Any advice or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

We have baan4c4 on AIX oracle 805.
We have done only limited archiving but we have the archive coy in a separate oeacle instance. The database instance can be on another server with out any special considerations. The TWO_TASK variable indicates to baan that it is on another machine and that oracle tns has to resolve the location/address

Hope this helps

Terry

We are archiving from our live systems to remote systems. This is due to necessity of space constraints. When the data is fully removed, the history company will be created on the local server.

Once set up, it works very well - although there can be perfomance issues taking so much data across the wire.:)

From a general support standpoint there is no reason why the archive company has to be on the same server. I encourage people to put the archive company in a seperate instance whenevr possible.

But, make sure you have a high-speed, dedicated connection between the two servers so that the data transfer does not slow down the archive processes excessively.

Thanks for the feedback Terry, Brian, and Jim. It sounds like this is definitely possible.
