Remote users really benefit from MAS 200 because they can make a TCP/IP connection either over the Internet or by dial-up directly to the server.
Every time you turn around there is some new three letter acronym (obligatory acronym: "TLA") or concept being discussed.
As data is needed, the computer first reads a segment of the disk file into a buffer and then uses the memory based version for the program's subsequent access to that portion of the file. The best performance will be obtained if the Working Papers file is stored on the same RDS/Citrix server which hosts the CaseWare Working Papers application. By client, we mean the application that runs on a PC or workstation and relies on a server to perform some operations.
Thick Clients. We'll send you an email containing your password. All data, programs, and processing remains on the server. Has it ever seemed like the IT folks spends their days making up arcane terms and acronyms? Most PCs (personal computers), for example, are fat clients because they have their own hard driveDVD drives, software applications and so on. It is not necessary to connect through products such as Microsoft Terminal Server or pcANYWHERE. All users would most likely want access to Microsoft Word and Excel, your organizations' line of business application(s), your accounting software if you are in the finance department and so on. If your organization is not currently using one of these thin client solutions, and your only concern is CaseWare performance, we also strongly suggest To get more tech tips for executives, be sure to sign up for our blog In Black & White. You work for a government / university / corporation with many employees. To note though, due to the internal architecture of CaseWare Working Papers, the closer the Working Paper file is to the actual application, the better the performance. The thin-client "browser" running in Windows on the workstation receives a text command from the host with the specifications for each Windows "object" to be drawn on the workstation's display followed by the text designated for the data fields on the displayed form. The term client suggests that they do connect to a server. This white paper was written to help our clients understand the difference between Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200.Here is the original article written by our founder, Phil Martin.Most Local Area Networks or LANs run as file servers, meaning they operate as a shared remote disk drive for client workstations. In this model, instead of using multiple powerful workstations & laptops to run the application, all that work is done by one or more servers. The vulnerability of the database to corruption by stranded data on the workstation is eliminated.Thin Client - only a small "browser" program loads on the client workstation, the application programs run on the server.Copyright © 2020 MBA Business Software. It is very likely that most of your users have somewhat similar needs in terms of applications and files. 1) Fat Client (Traditional) Model - only data resides on servers How it works: In the traditional approach, one simply provides each user with their own computer, install Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, etc. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Development Client (also known as a Web Development Client, "Fat" Client, Administrative Client, Windows client, or Workstation) contains components that run as standard Microsoft Windows applications (for example, Active Console, Form Design Aid (FDA), and Report Design Aid (RDA)) and components that run in a web browser. Solution for Describe client/server architecture, including fat and thin clients, client/server tiers, and middleware. Because moving data in memory is so much faster than accessing the disk drive, the workstation hoards as much data from the server's disk files as possible in large blocks of memory called buffers. Not the same as reading a document, moving lots of data around for a few minutes, then writing it back. on each one and let everyone work independently. There are two primary technologies to discuss that drive this model, one provided by Microsoft ( "Remote Desktop Server" or RDS) & another provided by Citrix (XenDesktop). When implementing a client/server architecture you need to determine if it will be the client or the server that handles the bulk of the workload. In most scenarios, the client machines in a fat server based client / server environment are thin clients. It contrasts the Fat Client implementation of MAS 90 with the Thin Client of MAS 200. This is another article found in the depths of our archives about Client Server architecture.
Also, to minimize network traffic, static MAS 200 components such as the Help text files are kept on the workstation in a local "cache". Solution for Describe client/server architecture, including fat and thin clients, client/server tiers, and middleware. Further, you have files that need to be accessed by multiple individuals, perhaps simultaneously, perhaps from many different physical locations. You work for a government / university / corporation with many employees. It can be enough to cause the finance officer to let it all go in one ear and out the other.Why bother with these particular terms? Typically, users prefer fat client computers over thin clients because fat clients allow easy customization and greater control over installed programs and system configuration. No programs are downloaded and no application data files are opened on the user's workstation. In fact, MAS 200 actually runs on the server in character mode. ; But unlike the internet, there is no delay for graphical images to be downloaded for display.
They communicate with an intelligent client at the workstation that locally implements the Windows interface. Every time you turn around there is some new three letter acronym (obligatory acronym: "TLA") or concept being discussed.
