Hi, AIE is the new bundled version of the Integration Engine. It includes adapters for MS-SQL, Oracle, DB2, XML file and delimited file (CSV if you choose). There no longer is a separate product for Remedy Link for SQL or Oracle. You install one and get all.
As for where to install, it isn't confusion, it is components and options. The data exchange application is powered by AR System so of course it must be on the AR server. The services (adapters) can be installed where they best meet the needs of your environment. *You can install the service(s) on the same server as AR System. *If you have a server group, you may choose to install on the server you use primarily for administration operations (most common option) *You can install it on the same server as the DB you are accessing (if the DBA/Server Admin lets you) *You can install it on a 3rd server and via the DEA configure where it is so that both target and source can talk through the 3rd server. This is most frequently done where the DBA doesn't want the service on the DB server and the Remedy Admin wants to keep the CPU of the AR Server available for standard AR calls. Putting it on the third box leverages the CPU and memory of that box. It is just a bit tricker to configure. So you see, there is no wrong answer, there is just the right answer for you. --------------------- Kelly Deaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: CM7.2, AIE 7.1, CDIntegration 7.1.1 > From: Mark Seiler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, November 14, 2007 6:02 am > To: [email protected] > > Hello list, > When installing CM 7.2, with the Master Trx and Console on separate boxes, > the module called CM Views called out in the docs for integrating > CDIntegration does not appear.
