I have finally printed out the GTM system administrator's manual, and am picking through it. I have some questions about database replication at a remote site. I'm guessing this is a Bhaskar question--but anyone can answer.
>From my initial review, it seems that database replication takes place by sending a journal/log of events to a remote database. The remote database applies these events to synchronize the databases. Here is my situation and question. We have two sites (and will eventually have 3) that will be using VistA. Our database will be largely reading notes that have been input by transcriptionists. The problem is that the network bandwidth/speed between sites it less than we would like. We currently have a commercial grade DSL line. My understanding is that our only other option would be to purchase a T1 for $$/month, which we don't really want to do. So, I would like to have a main server in our main office, and sub-servers in the peripheral offices. This would give more responsiveness at each site. So my question is, can each database be used as a server for a client application (in this case CPRS)? Can they each send a stream of events to the other for synchronization? I think in a banking or billing setting this might lead to mismatched records etc. But we wouldn't ever have conflicting data being input on one patient from two different sites at once. Is this all possible? Thanks Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
