Explanation Of The Map

The following map is not a recommendation. It is presented to assist an administrator in planning his own CoreModel Installation.

CoreModel is designed to allow its use by a person who works independently. In that situation, an installation can easily function on a single computer with a single instance of CoreModel and a small database.

However, it also supports a distributed computing model through a client/server architecture. For those who need the ability, CoreModel can accomodate a large installation in support of intense operations by a group of people or by geographically dispersed people.




        
        


Installation Definition

( Extracted from the system documentation. )

This is to define the installation noun and not the installation verb as it pertains to CoreModel.

For purposes of this document and for communication between interested parties a CoreModel installation will be defined as follows: A CoreModel installation is defined by its database. Each CoreModel installation consists of one database regardless of the number of CoreModel workstations and CoreModel servers that use its database. Every CoreModel database constitutes a CoreModel installation.

When CoreModel is installed on a computer, it becomes a CoreModel installation. If its local database is destroyed and it is directed to an existing installation, it ceases to be an installation and becomes a part of the existing installation, and is a CoreModel workstation or server in that installation.

Geographical location and dispersion of an installation are irrelevant to the fact that it is an installation. The relation to a CoreModel installation of external systems is irrelevant to its identification as an installation. The kinds of machines and the architecture of the machines and their operating systems on which a CoreModel installation operates are irrelevant to its identification as an installation.

A CoreModel instance and a CoreModel installation are synonymous.
