Distributed operation use cases
The information in this topic is applicable only for on-premises deployments.
The following topics include a start-to-finish example of how basic distributed operations are implemented between two geographically distinct servers at Acme Industries.
Acme makes custom office furniture that is distributed to and returned from vendors such as office supply stores. Assume you are a manager with administrator privileges and a fixed license at the Acme plant in San Francisco, California. Acme recently opened another plant in Chicago, Illinois. Labor is divided between the plants as follows:
Plant | Manufactures and repairs | Request ID prefix |
|---|---|---|
San Francisco |
| AW (Acme West) |
Chicago |
| AE (Acme East) |
Information about Acme's vendors is stored in Acme's customer information forms. Products returned from vendors for various faults are entered into Acme's bug tracking forms. You must set up distributed operations between the bug tracking form on the sanfrancisco server and the bug tracking form on the chicago server. Both servers have licenses.
All the examples in this section assume that you have created the Acme West Bug Tracking form on the sanfrancisco server and the Acme East Bug Tracking form on the chicago server.
