Hello,
if you had a case with two entities (let's call them sister companies A and B) each with their own appserver and database (and subnet)
Now prowin32.exe clients from company A needed to call the appserver of company B for it to fetch info from database B.
The idea is to set a second (or use the existing) appserver of company A to relay the call (like a proxy), instead of having all the prowin32.exe clients directly contact Appserver B.
While politically it would be "nicer" to have a deputy, I'd like your opinion about performance and other considerations
Thx
Jimmer
Most of your performance issues would be related to
1) The network connections between A and B (latency and bandwidth)
2) How many appserver calls you are going to make
3) How long those calls take and how many appservers they tie up on both sides
I would suggest getting some timings before you do a lot of work. Have you looked into Multi-Tenant?
I have heard of people doing this, but I think it is more common to use some form of message bus for application to application communication (as opposed to application to UI).
