Here's a bizarre possibility: XML was intended (among other things) to replace the confusing world of EDI standards, by providing a common method for data interchange. ie: sending the SA data to another piece of software for importation.
What if it was possible for SA Prime to hit SA Double Prime's internal XML server, import the data from the last round of checks, then spew forth the combined data to a single unified interchange db and status db? Scenario: I have my primary SA running in our DC with 145+ checks. It writes output to the interchange db, the status db, and runs a custom Access macro to update a running times db for uptime calculations. I have my secondary SA running in a remote office checking only the connection to the DC and if SA is running at the DC. I COULD have the secondary DC create it's own seperate interchange db and status db, or I could try to point both at the same db, BUT it would be really cool if the primary SA could get the seconday's data from it, then just write both data sets at the same time to the dbs. Thus creating a Master/Slave scenario. What do you think?
