A hybird Notes/DB2 environment provides a requisition catalog on the Web.
Client browsers are connected to a GWA infrastructure including a first
network dispatcher and a virtual cluster of Domino.Go servers. The
network dispatcher sprays out browser requests among configured .nsf
servers in virtual server cluster. Communications from this virtual
server cluster are, in turn, dispatched by a second network dispatcher
servers in a Domino cluster. External objects, primarily for a GUI, are
served in a .dfs and include graphic files, Java files, HTML images and
net.data macros. The catalog is built from supplier provided flat files.
A front end is provided for business logic and validation, as also is a
relation database backend. HTML forms are populated using relational
database agents. A role table is used for controlling access both to
Notes code and DB2 data. Large amounts of data is quickly transferred
using an intermediate agent and window.
