Application domains for specific business processes

A financial services company uses StreamServe to:

•	Produce and mail out monthly account statements to their customers.

•	Produce and email weekly internal financial reports to their branch offices.

The company uses StreamStudio Collector to access the documents.

Two separate Collector archives

The company wants to use separate management processes for the applications used to produce the account statements and for the applications used to produce the internal reports. The company also wants to use two different Collector archives to store the account statements and financial reports.

Two application domains

The company uses one application domain for the StreamServer applications used to produce the weekly financial reports. The financial reports are stored in the archive for financial reports on an Oracle database instance.

Another application domain is used for the StreamServer applications that produce and mail the account statements. The account statements are stored in the Collector archive for account statements on another Oracle database instance. This application domain includes StreamServer applications running on different computers.

Separate failover actions

Separating the applications into two application domains means that the company can set up failover actions specific to the StreamServer applications used to produce the account statements. This enables them to take immediate action if an application goes down due to disc failure, loss of database connection, etc.
