Enterprise Replication / HDR (2855)
Posted in 2000
Hey all, here is one for you all that test support has as of so far been unable to help with. I am planning / setting up a new database of the following Informix DS 9.20UC1 on 2 linux 2.2.5-15 machines (everything the same) The database is used in a publishing system, and will have the Web Datablades installed. The configuration that I am looking into is one of the following, mind you, the goal of this is to spilt the work load between the two mahines Configuration A haveing the machines in Enterprise Replication useing Update Anywhere model, the only problem is that ER does not replicate Smart Blobs the web data blades use smart blobs so this model will not work unless I can find a get smart blobs to relicate to both machines Configuration B having the machines doing HD Replication this forces the primary machine into read/write mode and the secondary machine in Read Only mode. this will replicate the data from the two machines okay, but makes some other things harder to do. I would love any feed back from anyone out there that has done something like this. Thanks -- James Maes unix/database programmer jmaes@sportingnews.com The Sporting News www.sportingnews.com
